Taylor Swift has been named Time's Person Of The Year for 2023. She beat out several other finalists who made waves in politics, entertainment, and pop culture this year.

Upon earning the title, Swift told Time, "This is the proudest and happiest I've ever felt, and the most creatively fulfilled and free I've ever been. Ultimately, we can convolute it all we want, or try to overcomplicate it, but there's only one question...Are you not entertained?"

Time's Person Of The Year

It has been a massive year for the pop star. Her "Eras Tour" was a highlight of the summer. You couldn't escape it. According to CBS News, the tour was so massive it even boosted tourism and travel. In fact, so much that it positively impacted the economy. That's unreal!

Additionally, Taylor shattered records at the box office with her concert film. CBS News reports that AMC Theatres called it the highest-grossing concert movie in history. Now Beyoncé has to try to top that? Good luck!

In 2023, Swift also achieved billionaire status. Back in October, she re-released her hit album "1989." Bloomberg says that helped push her from multi-millionaire to billionaire.

Also, Taylor Swift was Spotify's most-streamed artist this year, according to CBS News. It's about that time where your friends will all be sharing their Spotify stats. Don't be surprised when they're all boasting about their Taylor Swift percentile.

Taylor Swift Dominated 2023

She also made headlines throughout the sports community once she started allegedly dating Kansas City Chiefs star Tight End Travis Kelce. Their romance was followed by television and the internet with an obsession. They were everywhere. At one point, Taylor was the biggest story in all of sports. All the networks and shows were talking about her daily. That's a hard feat to accomplish!

This year, Swift beat out names like Britain's King Charles III, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and the Hollywood actors and writers that went on strike.

Who do you think should have won Time's Person of the Year for 2023? Let us know in the comments!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
