Taylor Swift is Time's Person of the Year, the internet reacts
After dominating stadiums, charts, headlines, and the box office, it's official: Taylor Swift is Time's Person of the Year for 2023.
For many, Swift is forever and alwaystheir person of the year, but that doesn't mean this isn't an opportunity for Swifties to celebrate. Since the release of Lover in 2019, the pop star shied away from interviews, preferring to keep her story in her own hands. Therefore, the cover story is particularly exciting for fans and casual spectators alike.

In a tweet praising the Timecover story, she acknowledged her hesitance to do press and wrote, "I have tRuSt iSSueS when it comes to interviews but I couldn’t be happier that I did this one with [Sam Lansky]." The interview in question is full of the kinds of tidbits that will keep Stan Twitter (and anyone else keen to comment on Swift's every move) busy for weeks.
Swift, a devoted cat lady, with lyrics like, "Karma is a cat," posed with one of her three cats, Benjamin Button, draped around her neck. In a tweet, Swift wrote, "Time Magazine: We’d like to name you Person of the Yea- Me: Can I bring my cat." Many praised the classically Swift move, while others poked fun at the move to only include Benjamin.

In true Swiftie fashion, many are using the cover story as an opportunity to clown about Reputation (Taylor's Version)'s announcement and release date. For example, one fan urged, "actually releasing rep tv after being named person of the year would be sooooooooo cunty do it taylor."

In one of the buzziest quotes from the story, Swift compared her journey rerecording her previous albums to the quests from the quintessential millennial franchises Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, and Avengers. She said, "I'm collecting horcruxes. I’m collecting infinity stones. Gandalf's voice is in my head every time I put out a new one. For me, it is a movie now."
