"Time, Person of the Year: Taylor Swift," December 25, 2023

Summary

Since 1927, Time Magazine has published an annual "Person of the Year" (previously called "Man of the Year" or "Woman of the Year") issue. In 2023, Taylor Swift -- photographed with her cat Benjamin -- became the first solo entertainer to receive the award. Long a pop culture fixture, the success and ubiquity of Swift's "Eras Tour" (2023-2024) brought her stardom to new heights.
