All Hail Taylor Swift, Person of the Year!

[The Atheist]

And quite right, too. I can't imagine anyone who's done more for humankind in 2023 than my beloved Tay-Tay.

God I can't wait to here about how many people don't care about this.

Shake it off, worse choices were possible.

Allow me to be the first.

I have no problem with Taylor being chosen as Person of the Year. I think it's a case of not just worst choices were possible, there isn't a better one.

A brief look back shows Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Zuck, Putin and Dubbya (twice) all have been made person of the year this century.

In that company, TS is positively a saint.

She's also a woman who has stood up for her principles at the expense of alienating some of her core fans. Pro-LGBT, pro-democracy, anti-Trump... I think she's a great pick.

I'm an old. Is Taylor Swift the Madonna of these days?

Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.

 

[crescent]

I hear that Kanye's gonna let her finish.

She's more like the Dolly Parton of the Bourbon Restoration.

 

[TragicMonkey]

Taylor Swift and Hitler, yet another thing they have in common! It's getting quite alarming.

 

[The Great Zaganza]

Who?

Seriously, I somehow managed to escape the pull of this Black Hole - I'm sure I heard plenty of her songs without knowing who the singer is - and when someone tells me, I forget almost instantly.

Time magazine editors are trying to stay hip as they heard that their grand daughters were listening to Taylor Swift on their CD players in their retirement homes. It was a toss-up between her or U2 with their ground-breaking residency in Las Vegas.

She made millions of people happy, while literally doing nothing wrong. It's hard to imagine a better candidate for the title.

"Taylor Swift is a better person than Hitler" is the implication. Yes, I think that's about right. Well done!

 

[theprestige]

Taylor Swift is a better person than probably the majority of people who have received the title.

Her particular station in life limits the bad she can do, so it is an uneven playing field for other candidates.

"Challenge accepted!" thought Taylor Swift, perusing the forum in her disguise. "I shall wreak a terrible destruction, one that will devastate the souls of all who consider it! Oh, my, yes."

 

[William Parcher]

I've never heard a Taylor Swift song.

I've never heard a Taylor Swift song.

If somehow, someway, you don't know any women under 40 or girls, and hadn't actually heard that song but just didn't know who it was... there ya go.

I mean I've heard that from people's phone ringtones.

She's a billionaire, she could do lots more than a normal person to **** **** up for other people.
