Famous singer Taylor Swift has been named as Time Magazine's Person of the Year. She has received this prestigious award for the year 2023. The award is given to an event or person who has had the most impact on global events over the past year.
People like Barack Obama, Greta Thunberg and Volodymyr Zelensky have also received this award before.
The popular movie Eras Tour in recent times laid the foundation for her to receive this award. The singer told the magazine that the 180-minute Eras concert often left her physically exhausted. "I was so tired that after the show, I would only leave my bed to get food. I can hardly speak. Because I sing live in three shows. Every time I walk after the concerts, my heels are numb." she said.The singer also talked about her romance with Travis Kelce, an American football star. The couple made national headlines when Kelsey's mother and Travis were spotted watching a game together with Swift.
"When I went to watch that match, we had a relationship " She explained that their relationship started in the summer. A popular star before 2023, she became a superstar thanks to the Eras Tour. Demand for tickets was so high that it crashed Ticketmaster's website. As her summer tour began, ticketless fans gathered in parking lots just to hear the music.Swift's rise comes after a period in which she has been in the dark about issues of feminism and politics. After speaking out against Donald Trump and in favor of abortion rights, she fell into disrepute.But with last year's Midnights, she confirmed her comeback. Time editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs said, the US pop singer is "the writer and hero of her own story" that Swift "has found a way to show his talents across borders" And.On Monday, Time magazine announced the shortlist of nine candidates for Person of the Year. It included Chinese President Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Barbie and notable Hollywood actors and writers.Swift also holds the record for the biggest selling record of 2023 with this tour.Among her other achievements this year:,* Eras tour became the biggest concert film of all time, grossing $249m (£197m) at the global box office.* Swift became the first living artist to have five albums in the US Top 10 in 1989, joining Midnights, Folklore, Lover and Speak Now.

Last month, the singer was declared a billionaire by the business publication Bloomberg, with an estimated net worth of $1.1 billion (£907 million).

However, Swift is the first person to reach the milestone based solely on music.
Swift is currently taking a break as her Eras tour is set to launch in Asia and Australia in February.
These shows will come to Europe in May, and Swift will be opening her Reputation in the New Year. The album is expected to be re-recorded and released.
