Taylor Swift is 2023’s Time Person of the Year, giving the billionaire, business mogul, singer, songwriter, director, actor and producer another heavyweight accolade for her mantelpiece.

“In a divided world, where too many institutions are failing, Taylor Swift found a way to transcend borders and be a source of light,” wrote Time Editor in Chief Sam Jacobs. “No one else on the planet today can move so many people so well. Achieving this feat is something we often chalk up to the alignments of planets and fates, but giving too much credit to the stars ignores her skill and her power.”

the interview, Swift talks with Time writer Sam Lanksy from her New York City apartment about when she disappeared to an international rental in 2016 and hid for a year, her rerecorded albums taking off, her fitness training for her behemoth concert, her economic impact, her blockbuster movie and her relationship with Travis Kelce

“I know I’m going on that stage whether I’m sick, injured, heartbroken, uncomfortable or stressed,” Swift said. “That’s part of my identity as a human being now. If someone buys a ticket to my show, I’m going to play it unless we have some sort of force majeure.”
