Taylor Swift has been named Time's 2023 Person of the Year.
00:05
This marks the first time the superstar singer-songwriter has received the honor from the long-running
00:09
publication.
00:10
Swift, of course, is in the midst of her global heiress tour and has had three No. 1 albums
00:15
this year.
00:16
In her Time cover story, she said of her massive 2023, "It's not lost on me that the two
00:20
great catalysts for this happening were two horrendous things that happened to me."
00:25
She continued, "The first was getting canceled within an inch of my life and sanity.
00:29
The second was having my life's work taken away from me by someone who hates me."
00:33
Swift elaborated on the former, which involved claims made by Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
00:37
about his song "Famous" back in 2016.
00:40
She said, "Make no mistake, my career was taken away from me.
00:44
You have a fully manufactured frame job and an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim
00:48
Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar."
00:52
She continued, "That took me down psychologically to a place I've never been before.
00:57
I moved to a foreign country, I didn't leave a rental house for a year, I was afraid to
01:01
get on phone calls, I pushed away most people in my life because I didn't trust anyone anymore.
01:06
I went down really, really hard."
01:08
The latter was Scooter Braun's acquisition of her masters.
01:11
Of Braun and West's fortunes turning recently, Swift added, "Nothing is permanent, so I'm
01:15
very careful to be grateful every second that I get to be doing this at this level because
01:19
I've had it taken away from me before."
01:21
"There is one thing I've learned.
01:23
My response to anything that happens, good or bad, is to keep making things, keep making
01:27
art.
01:28
But I've also learned there's no point in actively trying to quote-unquote 'defeat your
01:32
enemies.'
01:33
Trash takes itself out every single time."
01:35
The wide-ranging interview also saw Swift address her relationship with NFL star Travis
01:39
Kelsey.
01:40
Swift revealed that by the time she went to Kelsey's first game, they were already a couple.
01:44
She said, "I think some people think that they saw her first date at that game.
01:48
We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."
01:51
As for her attendance at Chiefs games, she said, "I'm just there to support Travis.
01:55
I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, brads
01:59
and chads."
