2019 burst out with women entertainers nationwide! We have seen a surge of many women in the music industry commandingthe attention of their peers. These ladies came to slay and took on the industry like a BOSS!

Confidence became a different meaning after Lizzo express how it should be from her stage performances to her daily look.
