Person of the year

[mellicious]

I 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.

As the father of 3 girls between the ages of 13 and 7, I'm "into" Taylor Swift by default, or at least I'd better be because I'm going to hear her anyway. We even went to the film of her tour performance, and she puts on a good show. She's hardly my favorite musician, but she's very good at what she does and absolutely deserving of the moment she's having.
