AKIPRESS.COM - Lady Gaga has been named Billboard’s Woman Of The Year 2015.

"It’s been seen as a surprise vote, but Gaga’s achieved more this year than you might first think. She started strong in February with a critically acclaimed Sound Of Music medley at the Oscars, followed it with a tour of her 2014 jazz album with Tony Bennett, released a video spreading awareness of campus rape in America, and finally starred in American Horror Story’s ‘Hotel’ series," said Billboard.

Billboard is an American music magazine, originally headquartered in New York City. It is distinguished as being among the oldest trade magazines in the world. 

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, 29, better known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She is known for her self-empowering messages, fashion, and live performances.
