In 1972, Fitzgerald, along with Carol Channing, performed during Super Bowl VI where the Miami Dolphins faced off against the Dallas Cowboys in New Orleans. And Ella was one of the first stars to headline the mid-way point of the big game. Today, the Super Bowl Halftime show has become a star-studded spectacle, but it wasn't always that way. And, in fact, the only other women to win a Grammy that year were opera singer Renata Tebaldi and pop singer Keely Smith.Д«ut that's not all.

Ella took home two awards for Best Vocal Performance and Female and Best Jazz Performance, Individual.

Ella was the first African-American woman to win multiple Grammy Awards - and it happened at the very first Grammy Awards ceremony in 1958. In her lifetime, Ella Fitzgerald recorded over 200 albums, and with 14 Grammy Awards under her belt, in addition to over 40 million albums sold, she is more than worthy of the title, 'First Lady of Song.' But Ella stands for something more, because as a female, and especially a female of color living through the civil rights movement, she has broken through many barriers. With her last two albums, T-Swift famously held her Secret Sessions, hand-selecting fans to come to her house(s) to hear her new music first, taking fan interaction to a new level. Speaking of consuming music, Taylor's Swifties have been loyal to her throughout her career, and the pop star hasn't forgotten that.

In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, she wrote, 'Music is art, and art is important and rare. A few years ago, she removed her music from select services, until they changed their compensation policies. And of course, this is only one of the glass ceilings she has shattered with her music.ДЄside from her chart success, Taylor has been an advocate for fair compensation in the new world of streaming - how most people consume music today. 1 when 'Blank Space' dethroned her first 1989 single 'Shake It Off' in 2014 - her big leap into the pop world. She became the first woman to replace herself at No. As a crossover artist, Taylor proved just what an artist can achieve without being put into the confines of a genre, and in her case, becoming even more successful. Taylor Swift has grown from a teen country singer/songwriter into not only one of the biggest international pop superstars in this world, but one of the most influential. The stunning, visuals and topics covered throughout the album have made an important statement, no doubt influencing so many across the globe. This album has themes of feminism all throughout its 14 tracks, and a few years later, the superstar outdid herself with her most recent solo album Lemonade. In 2013, BeyoncГ© released her fifth studio album - but her first self-titled - and she did it in a revolutionary way: she dropped it without any warning whatsoever as a true surprise for fans. This woman has been nominated for a Grammy over 60 times, taking home 22 of them over the last 17 years, and is the second most-winningest woman (second to bluegrass artist Alison Krauss who has 27 Grammy wins to her name and is the second biggest winner of any gender, tied with Quincy Jones).Д«ut Bey's Grammy wins are only a product of her talent, her drive, her strength as a woman, and her ability to speak the truth and unite fans across the world with her music. Once a part of successful R&B/pop girl band Destiny's Child, Queen Bey branched out into her own tremendous solo career. This woman has had an impact on music in more ways than one, and she continues to raise the bar with everything she does.
