Taylor Swift Is The First Musician Ever To Be Named TIME’s Person Of The Year
Every year since 1927, TIME magazine, an institution that still exists, names its Person Of The Year — the one figure who has influenced the year’s events more than any. (In 1927, it was Charles Lindbergh, and that would not be the last time a fascist sympathizer earned the distinction.) Sometimes, TIME gets cute, giving Person Of The Year to groups of people or vague concepts like the Computer (1982) or the Endangered Earth (1988). This morning, TIME named Taylor Swift as its Person Of The Year. It’s the first time that a musician has ever earned that distinction.
