Person of the year
Dec. 7th, 2023 05:22 amI was surprised for about - oh, I don't know, fifteen seconds, maybe? when I saw that Taylor Swift was Time's Person of the Year. Then I went "Oh of course she is," because honestly, who else has been that kind of dominant in 2023? I wouldn't call myself a Swiftie, by any means, but I do like Taylor Swift. I think I already knew who she was before the night way back when I happened to turn on the Grammys in time to see good ol' Kanye tell her she didn't deserve the award she had just won. I think I turned into a Taylor fan on the spot. That's just a mean thing to do to anybody. The Time article has a nice summary of the twists and turns of Taylor's career, up and down, up and down and then very emphatically up. I'm sure there will be a Taylor backlash any time now, if the past pattern means anything, but I don't care, I seem to be in Camp Taylor.
