The birthday celebrations kicked off on Thursday when Taylor was awarded with the first-ever Billboard Woman of the Decade Award.  It was inside the Hollywood Palladium, Taylor gave a heartfelt speech, voicing her opinion(s) on sexism within the music industry, “When this decade began I was 20 years old.  I saw that as a female in this industry, some people will always have the slightest reservations about you.  Examples include questioning whether a male producer or co-writer was the reason for your success, or whether it was a savvy record label [responsible for your success]. It wasn’t.  People want to explain away a woman’s success in this industry.”
