Taylor Swift named Time Magazine’s ‘Person of the Year’. Her reaction

Taylor Swift is having a stellar year. After the record-breaking success of her Eras Tour, the singer-songwriter has capped 2023 by being named Time’s ‘Person of the Year’.

In its annual issue honoring a Person of the Year -- a nearly century-old designation whose recipients include Volodymyr Zelensky, Martin Luther King Jr. and Greta Thunberg -- the magazine called music's reigning deity a "rare person who is both the writer and hero of her own story."

“Swift’s accomplishments as an artist—culturally, critically, and commercially—are so legion that to recount them seems almost beside the point,” Time Magazine said – and went on to detail her achievements as a pop star, a businesswoman and a celebrity and a woman under constant public scrutiny.

For her cover interview, Taylor Swift, 33, posed with her cat Benjamin Button, who also found an honourable mention in her tweet reacting to being named Time’s 2023 Person of the Year.
Even with her remarkable career trajectory, 2023 has been an exceptionally successful year for Swift. Her Eras tour is set to bring in an estimated $2 billion in revenue.

Her sprawling empire is today worth $1 billion, by some estimates.
