Google's Top Searches of 2023: Taylor Swift, Barbie, Israel-Hamas War, and More
Taylor Swift is noticeably absent from Google's 2023 Year In Trending Searches list, despite being named Person of the Year by Time Magazine. While Google's promotional video acknowledges her as "the most searched songwriter," she is not included in the top trending musicians category. Google claims that Swift's consistent high search interest does not qualify as a big spike in 2023 compared to 2022, which is the criteria for their Year In Search list. However, her ex-lovers and current boyfriend make appearances on the lists, making her absence even more peculiar.
