TIME Person Of The Year 2023 Has Been Announced

[Guest]

Dating an openly racist bigot and flaunting the relationship then using a black woman to cover your tracks definitely person of the year material !!!

I mean, look what she's done.  And somehow she's managed to stay so grounded.  

Of course she deserves this.

a great quote from the article:

 

“There were so many stadium tours this summer, but the only ones that were compared were me and Beyoncé. Clearly it’s very lucrative for the media and stan culture to pit two women against each other, even when those two artists in question refuse to participate in that discussion.”

Legend! Queen of 21st century music! 2023 will be a very special year in her life and career.

"Russia invaded Ukraine", hundreds of thousands of people perished in this war. I don't get some people's obsession with minimizing it just because they're a pro-western country. If you're calling the death of 10K+ Gazans "genocide", then the Ukraine situation is definitely nothing short of that.

Plus the situation in Ukraine was a LOT less divisive than what's happening between Israel and Palestine today. Ukraine did not break the ceasefire, kidnap Russian children or go into Russia to murder civilians. It was more of a shock that they were attacked for pretty much no reason. Whereas the situation with Israel is more divisive, considering Hamas broke the ceasefire (does not justify Israel's excessive response but it's ridiculous to compare it to Ukraine).

So regardless of how stubborn people are about this, the situation in Israel and Palestine is very complex and most people sympathize with both sides, hence why it's perceived as controversial to try to pick a side. I understand why TIME did not do it. Whereas for Ukraine, 90%+ of the public pretty much sided with Ukraine.

If they chose Gazans, people would be like "what about the hostages, children and women who were kidnapped, raped etc..". If they chose the victims of October 7th, people would be like "what about Gazans".

The world is crumbling but alright.

No other artist works as hard as her in my opinion. Even though she is oversaturated at this point, I think she deserved this honor.

I'll get the negatives out of the way first. Taylor's music does nothing for me and I find her popularity absolutley baffling, but ... blah ... that's just one person's opinion and who cares.

Her enormous popularity and success are matters of fact, not opinion, and I think she fully deserves this award. There is a lot of awfulness in the world at the moment. I know there has always been awful stuff going on in the world, but we seem to be spinning in a particularly bad direction right now, and so it is great to see this award being given to someone who brings so much joy and pleasure into so many people's lives. That's what she does. She's great. Congrats ma'am.
