If anyone has stood out in 2023, it is Taylor Swift, who was named Person of the Year by Time magazine The singer expressed great emotion at having received this recognition, stating that she had never felt “more proud and happy.”
Why Was Taylor Swift Chosen as Person of the Year?
The editor-in-chief of the aforementioned media, Sam Jacobs, highlighted in a statement that Taylor deserves this appointment because she “found a way to transcend borders and be a source of light (…) Swift is a rare person who is both a writer and heroine of her own story.”
“Much of what Swift accomplished in 2023 is immeasurable. “She charted her journey and shared the results with the world: she was committed to validating the dreams, feelings, and experiences of people, especially women, who felt ignored and regularly underestimated,” she added.
Without a doubt, these words are shared by all Swifties, who have felt how each of her songs is a cuddle and have celebrated her successes with her, breaking records wherever she goes. Suffice it to talk about her most recent world tour The Eras Tour, which reached figures never seen before at the box office and even when her relationship with Travis Kelce began, people went to the games just to see if they could find her with a little luck. At 33 years old, she is the creator of the best-selling album of 2023, which is the re-recording of her 1989 album, which caused a huge furor among her fans.
The artist has become one of the most listened-to artists in the United States; She is the first songwriter to earn seven Grammy nominations for Song of the Year, surpassing even Paul McCartney and Lionel Richie. Thanks to her talent, she was declared a “billionaire,” with assets valued at $1.1 billion, according to Bloomberg. She was crowned the “queen of streaming” as she was the most listened to on Spotify in 2023. And those are just some of the things for which the famous woman is the most deserving of being the Person of the Year, an award that in 2022 was awarded to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Furthermore, Taylor is not only loved for her music, but people follow her for her human side, which we could see during her concert in Brazil, where she asked for water for the attendees; the empathy she generates with her lyrics; without leaving aside the beauty that she radiates wherever she wants to stand and the unconditional support that she gives to her friends such as Sophie Turner.
