Being named Time Magazine’s person of the year is the cherry on top of a great year for Taylor Swift.
The star follows in the footsteps of Barack Obama, Greta Thunberg, and Volodymyr Zelensky. Her Eras tour broke box office records and led to an investigation into how Ticketmaster handles sales.
She told the publication that she feels “proud and happy” right now.
The award goes to the person or event that was thought to have had the most impact on events around the world in the past year.
According to time magazine’s the singer also said that her 180-minute Eras shows often made her feel physically worn out.
“I don’t leave my bed after a run of shows except to get food and eat it there,” she said.
“I’ve been singing for three shows in a row, and I can hardly talk.” Because I’m dancing in shoes, every step I take makes my feet crunch.
The famed person also talked about her relationship with Travis Kelce, an NFL player.
The couple made news in September when Swift was seen at one of Kelce’s games with his mother.
She said, “By the time I went to that first game, we were dating.” They met for the first time in the summer.
“I think some people saw our first date at that game. We’re not crazy enough to start a first date off on the wrong foot.
But Swift’s influence on culture is much bigger than her love life. Even though she was already a big star before 2023, the Eras tour has taken her career to a whole new level. Every night, she performs 45 songs from her career.
So many people wanted tickets that Ticketmaster’s website crashed. This led the US Senate to hold a meeting to look into how the company does business.
When the tour started in the summer, music fans who didn’t have tickets gathered in parking lots to listen. In Seattle, her shows caused shaking that was the same strength as a 2.3-magnitude earthquake.
“It feels like the breakthrough moment of my career, happening at 33,” she shared with Time. “And for the first time in my life, I was mentally tough enough to take what comes with that.”
Swift’s imperial phase comes after a time when people hated her for her views on women and politics, even though she didn’t say much about those topics because she didn’t felt confident.
Once she spoke out against Trump and for abortion rights, she had a creative lull. The albums Folklore and Evermore were made during the pandemic.
The songs proved that she is a great songwriter for our time, with a more natural, indie-folk style than the country-pop that made her famous.
Midnights, her album from last year, was the perfect way to cap off her comeback. It was a collection of sleepless pop songs about the things that keep her awake at night.
Time’s Sam Jacobs said that Taylor Swift was “the rare person who is both the writer and hero of her own story.” He also said that Swift had “found a way to transcend borders and be a source of light.”
Time Magazine announced on Monday that it had chosen nine people to be the next editor. Among them were Vladimir Putin, Barbie, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and some very attractive Hollywood stars and writers.
News of Taylor Swift’s marriage is denied by her manager.
The most streamed artist in the UK in 2023 was Taylor Swift.
Swift’s 1989 has a record-breaking first week on the charts.
Swift has also put out the best-selling album of 2023, which is a re-recording of her album 1989 from ten years ago.
Incredibly, Midnights and Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) are her second and third best-selling songs of the year in the United States, selling more than Drake, Olivia Rodrigo, and Ed Sheeran’s records.
Among the other things she has done this year:
The Eras tour movie made $249 million (£197 million) around the world, making it the most successful live movie of all time.
Swift is the first live artist to have five albums in the US Top 10 at the same time. Her albums are 1989, Midnights, Folklore, Lover, and Speak Now.
With 13 albums, she beat Barbara Streisand’s record for the most number one albums by a woman in US chart history.
It was Swift who beat Sir Paul McCartney and Lionel Richie to become the first artist to get seven Grammy nominations for song of the year.
With eight sold-out nights at Wembley Stadium, Swift ties Take That’s record for most sold-out shows in the UK.
Swift was named the most-streamed female act in Spotify and Apple Music history. This was due to her tour.
Bloomberg, a business news site, called the star a billionaire last month and said her net worth was $1.1bn (£907m).
Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Jay-Z are the only three other artists who are worth a billion dollars.
Swift, on the other hand, is the first to reach this point just through music. Her competitors’ wealth come from fashion, beauty, and hi-fi businesses.
Swift toasted her latest award on social media by bringing attention to her beloved cat Benjamin, who was on the cover of Time Magazine wrapped around her shoulders.
Right now Swift is taking a break before the start of her Eras tour in February in Asia and Australia.
In May, the shows will be in Europe. In the new year, Swift is also likely to release a re-recorded version of her album Reputation.
In 2019, her old record company, Big Machine, sold her master tapes to music mogul Scooter Braun. This made her decide to make all of her first six albums over again. After that, he sold them to a financial firm.
She told Time that she had been against the plan at first, which had been brought up by both her father and fellow pop star Kelly Clarkson.
It made me wonder, ‘How can I possibly do that?'” “No one wants to do their homework again if their book report gets blown away on the way to school.”
She did go ahead with the project anyway as a way to fight.
She says, “It’s all in how you deal with loss.” “I respond to extreme pain with defiance.”
