Following Hayley Williams’ show-stealing performance alongside B.o.B at the MTV EMAs, Gigwise has decided to take a closer look at some of the baddest women in music today.
As well as the Paramore frontman, and other established names such as Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, we’ve also opened up the countdown to new artists.
So it’s time to forget about Courtney Love and Patti Smith because Crystal Castles’ Alice Glass, Nicki Minaj and Jessie J are getting ready to take over their mantle.
Check out our full round-up below. What do you think of the choices? Are there any others you'd like to see included? Leave your thoughts in the comment form below.
