I only started to listen to Taylor after she started the ERA tour and all the hoopla about difficulties getting tickets. I enjoyed some of her songs. Did see,enjoyed her film. She has my most respect when i founded out, she donated money to every cities she performed at during Era tour. Because it was NDA, San Francisco food bank disclosed her donation was enough to feed 500,000 peoples a month for 1 year! She just a kind hearted person. I love Tay. And I'm old.
I heard that too, in the past month, maybe or so?!?! EXACTLY!!!! It's astounding what she's done!!!! You have Prime Ministers like Justin Trudeau, who actually tweeted Taylor Swift & her camp, asking her to perform more in Canada?!?! I would've thot she would've already included Canada?!?! BUT Justin Trudeau went to see her perform I'm sure with his kids in one of her LA concerts!!!! Don't get wrong, I believe he LOVED the concert!!!! BUT what World Leader, oth than where there's Dictators, wouldn't WANT Taylor Swift to perform considering how much it has BOOSTED every country's economy where she performs!!!! So, she now is in Vancouver BC for a few nights & Toronto for a few nights!!!And 2ndly as ouI don't know?!?! He said the oth week, in a press conference, that he wzn't really thinking about retirement yet!!! PLUS...I think he'd miss his team, esp Pat!!! They Chiefs are STILL on top of their game!!! Even w/ ups & downs, they are solid come playoffs! You can't EVER UNDERESTIMATE the Chiefs!!! And exactly as u said, that she's given a VERY GENEROUS AMOUNT of money to help those less fortunate in each city, she's held a concerts!!!!
Whoopi was right again... taylor deserved the person of the year title and also she was right saying advocating is not for everyone. Elizabeth Olsen deleted her social media because people expected her to say and do stuff when she was just trying to use social media like the rest of us. Its kinda toxic not all celebrities asked to be famous therefore not all of them should be obligated to always speak out and get potential hate. We should not shame someone if they dont want to risk their mental health.
Hello, I am an old lady (71) and I am a big “ Swiftie”. I love Taylor’s music and what a philanthropic heart she has. She constantly gives a lot of her money away to different groups/people. Congrats to her that she is person of the year 2023!!!! Elizabeth Goodrich, Texas
I am a 64-year-old and a super big fan/Swifty, my husband says that I am obsessed. Maybe a little, what other artist has 10 studio albums with so much choice of music to listen to?
I didn't know about this.all that gets mentioned is she sings about who she dates.i just heard 3 songs and I love Trouble..maybe I should give other songs a chance .
@@Carousel5883 You definitely should, I Knew Were Trouble is from her 1989 album, which is a pop album, it is her 5th studio album. The order of Taylor's discography includes her self-titled debut album Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, Reputation, Lover, folklore, evermore, and Midnights. She has songs that aren't on her albums, like Ronan, which is a song about a little boy who died of cancer just before he turned 4 yrs. old. Long story short, Taylor had been reading Mya Thompson's blog (I think I heard that Mya had met Taylor after one of her concerts) after Ronan passed away, Taylor called Mya, she had to leave a message, anyway Taylor told her she had written a song for Ronan. Taylor gave Mya writing credit and the proceeds go to fight childhood cancer. Taylor has only sung the song 3 times when they did events to raise money for cancer research, Taylor sang it at one of her concerts one time and that was for Maya who was at the concert. About 2 years later Mya and her husband had a baby, they named her Poppy Ronan. Ronan had 2 older brothers (twins), There is a slide show video with the song on YT, if you listen and watch will will need a tissue or 2.
“We didn’t see a red wave but we definitely saw a lavender haze” Lol I love Sara’s reference. Sunny needs to remember that these magazines aren’t the authority on who the most influential or greatest person is. It’s their opinion and it’s not that serious. It’s an American magazine, so obviously Americans are going to be the likely picks.
Not a fan of her music, However, she has done enormous work to get People to register to vote. Has a following with a Nickname Swiftees, thank you Whoopi and Joy for supporting her
The ONLY reason why she told her fan base to vote and "save democracy" is because she is heavily endorsed by the Democrats. Democrats have a high connection endorsing rich elites just as long as they show appraisal and loyalty to the Democratic Party. Otherwise they'll be blackballed. No doubt Democrats will destroy anyone's career if they refuse to endorse them. That's how it works. Democrats see a gold mine in Swift. They desperately need her fan base as well as the illegal migrants who flooded into this country to win next year's election
Nothing About Taylor Swift is good. She’s for baby slaughtering in the wound for any convenience. She’s a feminist which is evil. She’s not a good role model for anyone especially women. Y’all worship and idolize the worst of society
I don't understand why Sunny would say that. She has been very influential in music and politics. Plus she's a good person! Im not a swifty but i like her! I'm 60 lol😂 maybe thats why im not a swifty.
To me it sounds like she (Sunny) doesn't hold Taylor to the same level as the others, like, BECAUSE she is an entertainer she is NOT good enough/worthy enough to hold that title, EVEN THOUGH she has accomplished something incredible with the economy of your country and, dare I say the other 3 countries she already came to. I love Sunny because she KNOWS the law and when they talk about law-related things I love her input. But so far every time Taylor has been brought up (Including in 2015-16 with the phone call debacle) she has found a way to diminish her accomplishments or to accuse her of something. Again she (Sunny) fawns over Woophi and all her accomplishments as an ENTERTAINER (rightfully so) but for some reason, Taylor doesn't deserve the same respect? admiration? wow, moment? (in terms of celebrating what a marvelous thing she has managed to do with her almost 18 years of ACTIVE career).
@missmaggicasares6538 💯 I think she was having a Kanye moment. Maybe she is racist 🤔 I hope not, but I just wonder if it had Beyoncé. Would she still feel the same way?
I totally agree with Taylor being the person of the year. She deserves it. What I didn't like was the way Sunni questioned it like she wasn't enough???
Sunny doesn’t like her! She said she had free tickets to go see her and she asked her daughter if she wanted to go. Her daughter and her friends said no so they gave or threw away the tickets. 🤷♂️
Don't know if she likes her or not, but it definitely comes off as a no. I said this in a previous post, during the 2015-16 debacle with the *EDITED* phone call Jedadia and Sunny *basically accused her of playing the victim to garner sympathy while tarnishing KW and KK reputations* (no pun intended) and since then I dread every time they bring up Taylor because I KNOW that Sunny will ALWAYS have a *but* no matter what.
Also I think there is a reason why Taylor no longer goes to the view (talk shows in general) when back in the day she used to go for every album.... Last time she went if I am not mistakes was for 1989 (granted after that she stoped with reputtaion. But then started to do some appearances.... Generally with GMA, and some late nights) but hasn't even bother with the view. Especially if we consider that THAT footage of sunny is IN *miss americana*
I see some comments about Taylor online like she is not bright, she is only liked by 9 year olds etc. Ummm she is incharge of that huge tour and is the boss of an events that impact to the economy. She deserves respect whether you like her music or not.
Sunny Hostin is the reason so many women are pitted against each other. Why on earth a woman of influence wouldn’t support another amazing woman is beyond me.
Because she's white. Let's call it for what it is. Sonny hostin has perpetually hated on Taylor while singing the high graces of Beyonce. One episode she claims shes never heard Taylor before despite reacting to her album a month prior on the show. It's so obvious I predicted her reaction. If you're the only woman in a room not happy about a womans success perhaps you're the problem.
Why should her opinion be based on the fact that TS is a woman. Sunny makes a valid point. Last year, this year I'd go with Pres Zelensky (do they have to be American?) It's only because of him, face to face support to those fighting, tireless effort for global support (however he can get it), innovative weapons/strategy of warfare and survival, unwillingness to surrender to Goliath; that keeps these men and women fighting and hoping in Ukraine, might I add, a former comedian!! He has a permanent place in history, with earned respect the world over and he doesn't have to wear a bikini and cowboy boots to do it.
Taylor is just an incredible human being. ❤ If the rest of celebrities did half of what she does for humanity, this world would be a little better. We all can do better, even if it's just volunteering as some of us can't afford to do it monetarily; or not at that level. She definitely deserves the honor in times magazine! Go Tay Tay!!!
What does she do? Not being rude I just don't know anything about what's she done in terms of donating $.....because as a billionaire that's what it's about....who did she give $ to?
LOLOL What does she do? What causes does she champion? Not asking what charity she has her manager send a few bucks to for PR reasons. This is just embarrassing.
Theres always gotta be that ONE! Jealousy does not look good. TAYLOR deserves the world right now! She has worked her butt off and has stayed so grounded and poised through it all!
While I'm not a "Swiftie" but what I DO love most about Taylor Swift becoming "Time" magazine's "Person of The Year" award is that one: how incredibly dedicated she is at encouraging people to get out there and VOTE and two: the MAGA crybabies are throwing hissy fits because of it
yeah imagine hating someone because they want to encourage everyone to vote. its almost like they know if everyone would vote they would never win an election again 😉
The ONLY reason why she told her fan base to vote and "save democracy" is because she is heavily endorsed by the Democrats. Democrats have a high connection endorsing rich elites just as long as they show appraisal and loyalty to the Democratic Party. Otherwise they'll be blackballed.

Here come the atheists that are leftists that claim to be so tolerant but can't even see someone be self health forward in the form of worship. John 3:16 brothers and sisters. Thank you god for your grace.
i can understand sunny not being fully on board with taylor being the person there are more influential ppl that did things this year, and her saying that doesn’t take anything away from her. not everybody has to agree with every choice.
Yes and I understand that not agreeing doesn't take away, but the prosecutors are in the middle of the situation, they haven't accomplished a conviction that from what I see is what the majority of the country wants. in that regard I kinda agree with Alyssa, when they win that case then, by all means, give them the cover (this is gonna be a more than 1-year thing, at least it looks like a very LONG game). True, politically speaking, she hasn't done much *this year* (except getting people out to vote which in and out of itself is huge) but negating that she HAS BEEN the *it* topic for the entirety of the year and helping your economy to recover, at the pace she has managed to do it (not taking away from the Biden administration, but a big boost came from her and Beyonce). just because people keep thinking of her as this "teenage girl with a guitar who sings about teenage love and heartbreak" does not mean she is still that, she has outgrown that description for the longest time and people seem to just not want to admit that she is THAT talented if she weren't us fans would have gotten tired of her long ago, like what happens with other artists that were relevant at some point but now they are barely mentioned. you may not like her music or style but her accolades can not be denied. period *(not a rant against you is just a point)*
FYI re Bruce Springsteen - he DID do fundraising for Biden and even performed at the Innaguration. Not sure why his name got dragged into this conversation honestly as maybe the panelists forgot he actually does do stuff for Dems because he realizes the extreme risk of not putting his celebrity on the line and it hasn't affected his career one bit for doing so. That's just a side note because while I personally am not a Taylor Swfit fan musically, her power and influence cannot be underestimated so I fully respect her as a business woman, for the career she has (and I totally respect and love she 'took back' her music from a jerk producer and re-recorded the entire album just so she could fully own the songs - smart smart smart and also an eff you so she could reclaim what was hers), and also the truth that young fans who listen to her are listening and getting out to register to vote and to vote. While I hear Sunny's point about other viable options that were considered, I can't say I am upset she was chosen despite not being a Swiftie myself.
I like Taylor Swift very much, she's so charming, talented, we admired her, she's kind and beautiful, here in Philippines we like her very much, more power and God bless you all♥️🙏
@@bizwiz5742 well, most of the time when Taylor got brought up as a topic on the view, Sunny was the one to diss her… so… I do think my comment was valid also, just like her having her opinion about Tay, like you said
I’m not a Swiftie but Taylor Swift has earned this accolade over the past year. I’m ARMY and I can inform people that BTS has been doing the exact same thing over the last 10 years of their career. They’ve spoken at the UN regarding violence against children and climate change and LGBTQ+ rights. They’ve spoken at the White House regarding Asian Hate Crimes. They’ve also been Time’s People, Entertainer, Most Influential People of the year several times. Furthermore, they’ve donated $1m dollars to Black Lives Matter, they donate millions of personal dollars to the poor and they bring in 5.6 BILLION dollars to the South Korean GNP. And when their world tour got canceled they still paid their road crews their full salaries plus over $1 million dollars to help sustain them during their hiatus. But yet they get ignored by shows like The View for reasons about which I can only speculate. Anyway, congratulations Taylor! Keep doing what you’re doing and live your best life.
I hate when republicans say celebrities should just entertain and keep their mouths shut, they have every right to speak there mind. With that said, celebrities should not be required to speak out, or feel pressured into doing so.
It's a great choice for person of the year. The best one in a lot of time. She brings happiness to people. People are bonding because of her. All the races all the genders, all the ages. I have the best relationship with my mother- because of her. Her music is always in the background: when I meet with my friends, my family, when I'm alone, at work. She is a topic of discussions: the silly ones and the important ones. And her impact on economy, news, pop culture, music is uncanny. So Sunny I understand your point of view. Or no. I have to be honest. I don't understand.

The best one in a long time? Are you serious? Obama was a time person of the year. Have you even looked at the short list? The Trump prosecutors? Anthony faucci were all ones who have been considered in the past.
Taylor definitely deserved it, you couldn't go anywhere without hearing about her, but the fact that she gave those bonuses out to her crew really earned my respect (also helped stimulate the economy). That being said, why does it seem like Sunny is throwing shade at her?
Why are you always criticizing Whoopi for her behavior towards Sunny? What about when Joy, Sara, Alyssa, and Ana are being negative or something towards Sunny?
I agree. Whoopie often acts like she has the only correct, and the last say on things. She doesn't often acknowledge that it is perfectly OK that another panel member has a valid opinion. She sometimes talks down to the audience, I feel. Like being lectured at. She cut Joy off today. "No you cant think that..."
I am also not a Swiftie but I admire her as a businesswoman, philanthropist and role model for young women to work hard for their dreams. Two female singers helped boost the US economy this year, and one of them was Swift. She may also have led the charge in entertainers bypassing studios by getting distribution deals with theaters directly. And she is already producing her own videos. Could a full length feature film be in Her future? I think she was a good selection.
Michael Jackson did great philanthropy but that wasn't highlighted by the US and UK media and this was before the rotten accusations.the media just loved hating on him although he paved the way for all artist regardless of colour, gender.Im glad Taylor Swift's humanitarian work is recognized now while she's still here
@@ReginaldTate-le6fe no it shouldn’t have. Taylor got this title for a reason, Beyoncé didn’t. You can watch the times magazine ceo explain why Taylor was named times person of the year.STOP YOUR BITCHING AND WHINING JUST BECAUSE A BLACK WOMAN DIDNT GET THE TITLE. IF BEYONCÉ GOT THE TITLE OF PERSON OF THE YEAR, NOBODY WOULD BE OUTRAGED LIKE YOU ARE. PEOPLE. OUTSIDE. OF. YOUR. RACE DESERVE. SUCCESS. TOO.
I also think as a musician and entertainer if you are going to bat for every cause and vocal on everything it starts to take away from your art and the conversation starts to go sour. Its a pick your battles thing. Taylor spreads love and joy through her art. She touches lives and makes them better through her donations, love for her fans and generating money for the economy (along with BEy) which she is credited in part to why we havent hit a recession. Thats an impact people dont think about.
"Taylors [sic] impact and success is unprecedented" I find comments like this really troubling. People have lost their damned minds and any sense of perspective over this girl.
@mickey4346 Her success came from people who love her crappy music. I'm not going to praise that success. Not to mention, she's a shill for the woke left.
I'm a Canadian, very happy that Taylor won this prestigious award! Wonderful and so deserved! She gives and gives and gives back to communities everywhere and her talent is extraordinary.
I get what sunny is saying by Taylor had a huge impact on what she is doing. To record her master after it was taking from her and all her albums go to #1 after the fact is crazy she’s an icon
Sonny always seems salty when Taylor comes up. Even when she first showed up at the Chiefs game, Sonny complained she was kissing up to Travis’s mom too soon, and she doesn’t like when her son’s girlfriends do that… Why so bitter, Sonny? It’s starting to smell like had Beyonce been named Time’s person she would be all for it.
@@LeonardoDiCapri-Sun Maybe she realizes that if America becomes a fascist state, no democracy in this world will be safe. No terrorist checked and eliminated. No law and order. Taylor is not a politician although she is an activist of sorts. She's doing what she's good at. Perhaps YOU should do the same. There's a lot of work to do. What are YOU doing to save our democracy, hmm?
@@VickiStanley-nf4glGirl, relax. You have no idea what I do but I’m a nobody compared to the reach Taylor has. But you sound like you worship at her feet so you do you.
Sunny: "Im not taking anything away from her." Lol no you aren't sunny... you're just TRYING to take everything away from her but it aint workin sistah.
I'd DOUBT that VERY MUCH that Sunny's jealous of a MEDIOCRE ENTERTAINER/POP STAR who people BOTH constantly & continuously FAWN over okay @ardeanholt2319.
Taylor Swift has graced herself on the cover of Time Magazine. Not only did she was named Person of the Year. She is doing better than ever. Speaking from a male Swiftie who was born in the same year as Taylor Swift.
I was waiting for Sunny’s dig at Taylor… girl just say you hate her it’s way too obvious now. I could just see from the beginning of the clip that Sunny was waiting for her turn to say something
Sunny didn’t want Taylor picked because Sunny is a closet racist. Also, yet again Joy can’t go one segment without mentioning Trump. It’s getting old. For real.
The very best choice Time magazine could have made. Right before it was announced, I thought Taylor Swift would be great, so I was absolutely thrilled for her. Taylor is Iconic‼️💞💞💞💞💞
Im a new swiftie, hefitly involved in all things Taylor due to Eras. Her next tour should be Icons. Oh and Travis im a huge of his podcast now. Watching in Scotland via yt. 🏴
Why does Whoopi get like that? When she’s suuuper into a topic and someone has even a whisper of a different view she really doubles down and almost like bullies them. It’s just not the vibe.
Very negative how Sunny talked about Taylor. I don't listen to Taylors music or agree with all her politics but think she has had a huge impact on the economy, young women and girls, etc. Always support other women.
As much as she has been an impact on a lot of young women, she still is a human being. There is no need to put her on a peditsal. But as a woman who doesn't like her as a artist, as she brings drama, I do think what she does for young girls is great and I do applaud her for that.
Sunny-- You refer to Person of the Year as an "award". It is not. As others mentioned, it is given to the person who is perceived to have had the biggest impact on society in that year. I don't think the Hollywood strikers qualify, and the the work of the Trump prosecutors is not yet done. Get your facts straight.
I looove Taylor and she is giving us so many beautiful moments, cries, and moments of introspection especially in this crazy moment. I am genuinely happy for her because she deserves it, she is very influential in a positive way. That being said, I understand what Sunny means. There are people that are truly on the frontlines now protecting democracies. A cover would have sparked a different conversation and reignited conversations we need to continue having.
Sunny’s dislike for Taylor Swift is always so palpable. Taylor could have single-handedly taken down Hamas and Sunny still would have had a problem with her being Time’s Person of the Year because she feels she’s a massive threat to her beloved Beyoncé. What she doesn’t seem to realise is that Taylor and Beyoncé support each other and hate being pitted against each other. Sunny, sorry, you’re on your own, kid.
The ONLY reason why she told her fan base to vote and "save democracy" is because she is heavily endorsed by the Democrats. Democrats have a high connection endorsing rich elites just as long as they show appraisal and loyalty to the Democratic Party. Otherwise they'll be blackballed. No doubt Democrats will destroy anyone's career if they refuse to endorse them. That's how it works. Democrats see a gold mine in Swift. They desperately need her fan base as well as the illegal migrants who flooded into this country to win next year's election
I'm not even a fan, but very glad she got the title. Very talented, has heart, treats her fans wonderfully. Better than hypocritical politician or male semi-talented musician getting the cover.
Had.Beyonce been the POTY Sunny would have been nothing but supportive, but since they selected Taylor, Sunny feels like there were “more deserving people”.
Discussing her movements is like discussing politics or the weather-it's a language that's widely used and requires no additional context. Taylor Swift has become the protagonist of this world. If you're skeptical, consider this: How many times have you talked about Taylor Swift this year? How many times have you seen her picture while scrolling through your phone? Are you one of those who make the pilgrimage to the city where she performs? Did you buy tickets to her concert movie? Have you liked her Instagram posts, laughed at her tweets, or clicked on news about her? Have you ever found yourself humming "Cruel Summer" while waiting in line at the grocery store? Do your friends admit that they watch clips of the Eras Tour on TikTok every night? Or yourself? TIME's 2023 Person of the Year | Taylor Swift 。
Facts!!! Beyoncé is not as famous as people try to make her to be. I don’t listen to Taylor, but she beat her at everything. One is a billionaire and the other is worth 500 million only.
