Pop icon - "Person of the year", style icon, global star - the life of Taylor Swift in pictures
With more than 252 million records sold, Taylor Swift is one of the most successful female artists in the world 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 on the music streaming service Spotify more times in one day than any album before it. And her streak of success shows no sign of abating: US magazine "Time" has now named Taylor Swift "Person of the Year".
Previous winners include 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 had "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 today can move so many people so well." The magazine honors Swift with three different covers, on which the 33-year-old also demonstrates her influence as a style icon.
The hype surrounding Taylor Swift is off the scale
Swift has been dominating the headlines for months: With her relationship with footballer Travis Kelce, with her concert film, which generated record revenues, and with her "The Eras Tour". In the USA, the tour has made a lasting contribution to local economic growth. So it's fair to say that everything the "Anti-Hero" singer gets her hands on turns to gold. Taylor Swift has done it. She is at the top of the career ladder and can look back on a unique career that has seen her make music history. Her key to success: a lot of talent, plenty of courage and insane ambition.
