Time Editor Sam Jacobs made the big reveal on the Today show this morning. He says, "In a year when the world is divided -- there's a lot of light and a lot of darkness, there are a number of different choices that could have represented 2023 but we picked someone who represents joy -- someone who's bringing light to the world -- someone who's taken her own story and has made it big enough for everyone, and I don't think there's anyone who moved so many people so well as Taylor Swift did in 2023." He added that in 2023, "She was like the weather. She was everywhere."
