Country-turned-pop singer Taylor Swift has been named Billboard's Woman of the Year becoming the first artist to win the honor more than once, the music industry trade magazine said on Friday.
Swift, 24, who shot to prominence in 2006 as a teenage country sensation and has been able to successfully cross over into pop music, will release her fifth album "1989" on Oct. 27.
Swift also won the award in 2011. Past winners include Beyonce, Katy Perry and last year's honoree, Pink.
