• 2020

• 2017

Answer explanation

Taylor Swift is still breaking and setting records as TIME magazine's 2023 Person of the Year.

The pop superstar is the first woman to appear twice on a Person of the Year cover since TIME began the honors in 1927.

She's also the first performer to be selected because of their achievements in the arts.

Swift was also named Person of the Year in 2017, when she was recognized as one of the Silence Breakers who inspired women to speak out about sexual misconduct.

What was the reason for Taylor Swift's selection as "Person of the Year"?

Answer explanation

Swift is the rare person who is both the writer and hero of her own story. Her path is untraveled, something she’s known for some time.

While her popularity has grown across the decades, this is the year that Swift, 33, achieved a kind of nuclear fusion: shooting art and commerce together to release an energy of historic force. She did it by embracing what she does better than anyone, entertaining and writing songs that connect with people. Now she becomes the first Person of the Year to be recognized for her success in the arts, in a year when we were reawakened to questions about who makes and who owns our cultural expressions. Swift is also a symbol of generational change: she is only the fourth solo Person of the Year born in the past half century.

In the 17 years since her debut, Swift has notched more No. 1 albums than any other woman in history. This year alone she had three. She was everywhere in 2023, filling stadiums and breaking records, which meant we were forced to find novel ways to measure the magnitude of her reach.
