Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has been named TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year for 2023, making her the first figure from the arts to carry the honor. The superstar is the fourth solo Person of the Year to be born in the last century.
The cover story for the edition of Time features an exclusive interview with Swift from Time’s Sam Lansky, her first in-depth conversation in nearly four years.
TIME Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs writes, “The person chosen has typically been a ruler over traditional domains of power … very often a politician or a titan of industry … And yet the person whose singular influence was revealed throughout 2023 has held none of these roles—or anything remotely similar … Taylor Swift found a way to transcend borders and be a source of light … Swift is the rare person who is both the writer and hero of her own story.”
