Taylor Swift concludes her year with another prestigious honor: she has been named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” for 2023, surpassing contenders such as Barbie and King Charles III.
Time highlighted that Swift, 33, achieved a groundbreaking fusion of art and commerce this year, resulting in a historic force of energy. The magazine emphasized that Swift’s global impact in bringing hope during challenging times played a significant role in her selection.
According to Time’s profile, Swift’s ability to connect with and move a vast number of people is unparalleled. The magazine acknowledged her skill and power, stating that attributing her success solely to cosmic alignments ignores her exceptional abilities.
In an interview with Time, Swift expressed that she feels the proudest, happiest, most creatively fulfilled, and free she has ever been. Notably, she also opened up about her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, confirming it publicly for the first time. Swift mentioned that they started hanging out after Kelce wore a friendship bracelet on his podcast, an act she described as “metal as hell.”
Swift discussed her role in supporting Travis at NFL games and addressed any concerns about her visibility, stating, “I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”
A significant highlight of Swift’s year was her “Eras Tour,” which amassed approximately $2.2 billion in North American ticket sales alone, making it StubHub’s most substantial tour in the platform’s history, according to research firm QuestionPro. Additionally, Swift’s concert film, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” achieved a record-breaking $96 million in its opening weekend at the U.S. and Canadian box office, marking the highest-grossing concert film opening weekend domestically for AMC.
Amidst these achievements, Swift set a new Spotify record by becoming the most-streamed artist in a single day in the platform’s history. Furthermore, her album “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” claimed the title of Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day this year.
