10. She never shies away from making a bold statement; if you want to dress up like a tiger, dress up like a tiger.
11. Because she knows that sometimes it's better to think outside the box.
12. She reminds women that they have every right to wear whatever they want...
13. ... and that there's nothing wrong with celebrating your body.
14. And that doesn't make you any less credible, important, or intelligent.
Ban men.
15. She's a killer songwriter – as we all know from mega-hit "I Love It" – and isn't afraid to be behind the scenes while someone else enjoys the spotlight.
Ryn Weaver's "OctaHate," anyone?
16. She loves and supports her friends and fellow badass women.
17. She shows us that even when one door closes, another one opens, like when she wrote "Boom Clap" for Hilary Duff...
song writing is so weird

... whose team rejected it.
s/o hilary duff
So she kept it for herself and it became her first solo single to hit the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
18. She isn't afraid to ask for the respect and acknowledgment she deserves.

19. She was Janis Ian in high school, which is awesome because that means she really was the *realest.*
