The Best Person of the Year 2023 award went to the famous American singer Taylor Swift. Former American President Barack Obama, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, and Sweden’s Greta Thunberg, a strong voice for climate change and environmental protection, have also recently won this award.
Various reports have shown that Swift’s popularity is very high. It has now become a tradition for Times magazine to announce the most outstanding person of the year for every year. The person who has made the most impact on the world in one year is identified through this method. The selection of the year’s character focused on many things, such as the impact made on the world and the world community during that year and the contributions made to the relevant field. The series of “Eras” music concerts organized by American singer Taylor Swift has attracted particular attention here. Times magazine has once again confirmed the world recognition of this 180-minute concert as the most successful concert series ever held in the history of the world.

It was as strong as an earthquake. According to some reports, a tremor of magnitude 2 and 3 on the Richter scale was created during her concerts.

Swift’s success as an artist has also sparked a powerful conversation culturally, critically, and commercially.

As a businesswoman, she can also achieve great success, and according to some estimates, her assets have exceeded one billion dollars.
Her popularity results from extensive activism that has grown over decades. This can be called the time when 33-year-old Swift won a massive victory on that trip. Accordingly, Swift has become a historical force. Art was her source of strength. Some point out that Swift has used art and financial power to release her energy.
“Eras” opened the way for Swift
She successfully conducted the “Eras” concert series in the North American region. Research firm QuestionPro has pointed out that it is difficult to calculate precisely how much she earned from the show. However, the agency has shown that she has only made about 2.2 billion dollars from ticket sales in the North American region. She managed to release two albums in 2019 and 2021. Swift maintains that those albums were the main reason for her popularity.
Swift said the 180-minute Eras concert left her exhausted. “I was so tired that after the show, I would only leave my bed to get food. I could barely talk because I was singing live in three shows. Every time I walked after the show, my heels would tingle.” She has mentioned.

Swift has also said she is in a relationship with Travis Kelce, an American football star.

Notable attention from society also focused on her views on feminism and politics. Criticisms against Donald Trump and her who raised a voice in favour of abortion rights are also innumerable. However, she used art as a weapon to stand up to the world by rejecting all scandalous situations.
It is also essential to pay attention to a matter that Sam Jacobs, the editor-in-chief of Times magazine, has said. He pointed out that “this singer has managed to find a way to show her talent beyond the borders”.
Times magazine announced the nominees for the Outstanding Person of the Year last Monday.

However, Taylor Swift managed to surpass all of them and become the first place, making it clear that nothing is impossible for art.
