Taylor Swift is 2023's Time Person of the Year, giving the billionaire, business mogul, singer, songwriter, director, actor and producer another heavyweight accolade for her mantlepiece.
"In a divided world, where too many institutions are failing, Taylor Swift found a way to transcend borders and be a source of light," wrote Time Editor in Chief Sam Jacobs. "No one else on the planet today can move so many people so well. Achieving this feat is something we often chalk up to the alignments of planets and fates, but giving too much credit to the stars ignores her skill and her power."
There were 8 other finalists: Striking Hollywood actors and writers, Chinese President Xi Jinping, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, prosecutors who brought forward felony charges against former President Donald Trump, the Greta Gerwig-directed film “Barbie,” Russian President Vladimir Putin, Britain’s King Charles III and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
