The post US pop star Taylor Swift named Time Magazine’s person of the year appeared first on Al Jazeera

Whoa! Now that is a SCOOP 
In a tradition that dates back to 1927, Time dedicates one issue annually to featuring a person, group, idea or object that “for better or for worse … has done the most to influence the events of the year”.

Swift was also named Person of the Year in 2017 when she was recognised as one of the Silence Breakers who inspired women to speak out about sexual misconduct.
Fans have been drawn by the empowering feminist messages scattered across her discography and her openness to sharing her emotions.
  • In 2022, Time’s Person of the Year was Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the “spirit of Ukraine”.  
  • Previous selections include US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, Martin Luther King Jr, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Pope Francis and activist Greta Thunberg.
Other contenders this year included 
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin, 
  • Donald Trump’s prosecutors, and 
  • Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI which released the groundbreaking ChatGPT.
