With more than 252 million records sold, Taylor Swift is one of the world’s most successful artists today. Just last year she occupied all ten places in the US top ten charts at the same time, and her album “Midnights” was streamed more times in one day on the music streaming service Spotify than any previous album. And her streak of success is not slowing down: The US magazine “Time” has now named Taylor Swift “Person of the Year”.
The award winners have already included US President Joe Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris, former Chancellor Angela Merkel, US civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. and Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. In a difficult year full of division and darkness, Swift “found a way to overcome boundaries and be a source of light,” said Time editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs, explaining the decision. “No one else on this planet can move so many people so well these days.” The magazine honors Swift with three different covers in which the 33-year-old also demonstrates her influence as a style icon.
The hype surrounding Taylor Swift is beyond all scope
Swift has been dominating the headlines for months: with her relationship with footballer Travis Kelce, with her concert film, which generated record grosses, and with her “The Eras Tour.” In the USA, the tour made a lasting contribution to local economic growth. So it’s fair to say that everything the “Anti-Hero” singer puts her hands on turns to gold. Taylor Swift did it. She is at the top of the career ladder and can look back on a unique career with which she is making music history. Your key to success: lots of talent, plenty of courage and insane ambition.
