A dreamy looking Nicki Minaj yawns away outside of the Billboard Women in Music Awards at Capitale in New York City yesterday where she received the ‘Rising Star’ Award.

Along with Minaj, Taylor Swift headlined a list of Women in the music industry that was topped by Atlantic Records’ Julie Greenwald, who appeared alongside boss Lyor Cohen, CEO of Warner Music.

ABC’s Robin Roberts also attended along with new ABC’er Katie Couric.
