In a plot twist as foreseeable as yet another batch of jaw-breaking gingerbread cookies mysteriously materializing in the breakroom, Time magazine has crowned Taylor Swift as its 2023 Person of the Year.

This accolade isn't just an attempt to shower praise on the pop sensation to score a coveted limited edition Eras Tour popcorn bucket. Swift's impact on 2023 has been nothing short of monumental. Even the Federal Reserve gave her a nod, acknowledging her role in bolstering the US economy with substantial surges in hotel bookings during her concert dates this summer.

The Eras Tour is poised to make history as the first-ever concert tour to surpass the billion-dollar mark, and Swift herself achieved billionaire status this year.

The cinematic release of the concert movie shattered records at AMC, catapulting the venue to unprecedented heights in ticket sales revenue for a single day. Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour raked in over $26 million in advance ticket sales in less than 24 hours.

What's more, Swift's non-musical presence made waves too. Her appearance at the September 24 Chiefs vs. Bears game in support of her new beau, Travis Kelce, translated to an 8% spike in viewership for the NFL's Sunday Night Football.

Looking at the bigger picture, a soirée with Swift and other recent Person of the Year awardees would undoubtedly be a thrilling experience. Last year, it was Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and in 2021, the honor went to Elon Musk. The diversity of personalities gracing the list over the years ensures that such a gathering would be nothing short of a captivating spectacle.
