Taylor Swift used her moment as a Billboard honoree to do what she's been doing -- speak her truth and advocate for creatives.
The singer, who turns 30 on Friday, became the first recipient of Billboard's Woman of the Decade award Thursday night at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. She carved out about 15 minutes to offer remarks about everything from how she's handled herself in the industry to her latest battle for the rights to her music.
Since then, she's been in a war of words with him and Scott Borchetta, the head of Big Machine Records."Lately, there's been a new shift that has affected me personally and that I feel is a potentially harmful force in our industry, and as your resident loud person, I feel the need to bring it up," Swift said at the Billboard event.
