Tetris KellyYour new album is about to come out very soon, ‘Never Gets Late Here.’ How are you feeling?
ShenseeaI’m feeling really good. You know, I’m excited. It’s my second project. So a little bit nervous. But you know, because you know, you set a tone with the first one.

Katy Perry:I like to be viewed as a strong woman and I think that’s what Billboard is basically saying.
Tetris Kelly:Every year, Women in Music honor some of the best to ever do it and none more important than our Woman of the Year. Today we’re discussing a few of them, including the youngest to ever win. The girl power has never been stronger.
Katy Perry:I was also a bit surprised because I thought my year was over.
Tetris Kelly:2012 was the year Katy Perry wrapped up her California Dream Tour earned her seventh No. 1 song on the Hot 100 and took home Billboard’s Woman of the Year.

Tetris Kelly:In 2015, Lady Gaga ventured into jazz, acting and became Billboard’s Woman of the Year.

Lady Gaga:Sorry, Grandma.
Tetris Kelly:But ultimately, keeping it real.
Lady Gaga:I might not be a lot of things but I can write songs and I can sing.
