Taylor Swift Named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year After Conquering Just About Everything

Biggest tour ever. Most albums sold in a year. Concert film makes over $250 million worldwide.

Taylor Swift has conquered all fields this year, so it’s only right that Time Magazine name her Person of the Year.
