Taylor Swift Named Time Magazine’s ‘Person of the Year’ After Dominating Spotify Charts

Taylor Swift has been named Time Magazine’s ‘Person of the Year’, following Spotify’s announcement that she is the most-played artist on the platform. Swift, 33, emerged as the standout choice from a list of nine finalists, which included Barbie, King Charles III, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

Describing Swift’s impact, Time highlighted her ability to fuse art and commerce, creating a historic force. This recognition comes in a year marked by the immense success of her Eras Tour and concert movie, the release of the reimagined ‘1989’ album, and her high-profile relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Swift’s influence extends beyond music, with college courses dedicated to studying her.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held the title of Time’s 2022 Person of the Year.
