Following in the footsteps of Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Black Eyed Peas star Fergie, the publication's editorial director Bill Werde described K-Pez as "one of the most exciting and inspiring artists in the industry."
He continued: "Katy Perry broke into the industry not even five years ago, and has already accomplished more than most artists can hope for in an entire career.
"We are thrilled to celebrate these incredible achievements and her amazing past 12 months by presenting her with the Billboard 'Woman Of The Year' Award."
Werde added: "With what seems like a never-ending supply of record-breaking, chart-topping hits, coupled with her unique and fresh style, Katy Perry is hands-down one of the most exciting and inspiring artists in the industry today."
Katy will now officially receive the award at the Billboard Women in Music event in New York City on 30th November.
So glad for her. She is fully dedicated to her career and I am so glad I met her TWICE during my Toronto days
