Taylor Swift Will Be Honored With The Hollywood Reporter’s Sherry Lansing Leadership Award at Women in Entertainment Gala

Taylor Swift will receive the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award at The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Women in Entertainment breakfast gala in Los Angeles. The award recognises leadership and philanthropy in entertainment and media, and the organisers cited Swift’s influence on artists’ ownership of their work and her support for others.

Director Greta Gerwig will present the award at an event expected to draw 600 industry leaders and guests. The gala also marks the release of the magazine’s Women in Entertainment issue, including its Power 100 list; about 40 high school students in its mentorship programme will attend. The programme has supported more than 300 students, whose mentees have received over $16 million in scholarships across 17 years.
