Taylor Swift's Historic Time Person of the Year Win Sparks Global Reaction
Taylor Swift has been named TIME's Person of the Year for 2023, becoming the first woman to appear twice on the cover since the franchise began in 1927. Swift was previously recognized in 2017 as one of the Silence Breakers. This marks several firsts for the franchise, as she is the first person chosen for her achievement in the arts and only the fourth individual selection born in the last 50 years. The designation reflects a shift towards recognizing influential women, with previous female recipients including Angela Merkel and Greta Thunberg.
