Taylor Swift Just Landed One of Hollywood’s Biggest Honors — and Greta Gerwig Is Handing It to Her
Taylor Swift is about to add one of Hollywood’s biggest honors to her shelf.
The Hollywood Reporter announced Wednesday, November 11, that Swift will receive its Sherry Lansing Leadership Award at the magazine’s annual Women in Entertainment breakfast gala in Los Angeles — and director Greta Gerwig (Barbie) will present it.
The award honors trailblazers and philanthropists in entertainment and media. THR editor-in-chief Maer Roshan praised Swift for reclaiming her catalog and “set[ting] new terms for the artists who follow her,” and Lansing herself — the first woman to head a Hollywood studio, the former Paramount CEO — said Swift “paved the way for women in music.”
Past recipients include Adele, Oprah Winfrey, Meryl Streep, and Barbra Streisand.
