Even financial news entered the Taylor Swift “era” in 2023.
The world’s most famous singer-songwriter dominated headlines this year, culminating in a recent award for Time’s Person of the Year after her “Eras Tour” became the highest-grossing concert tour of all time. And it was the first to eclipse $1 billion ever.
“Taylor is so unique and remarkable what she’s done, not only as a performer, as a songwriter, as an artist,” Time CEO Jessica Sibley told Yahoo Finance Live on Dec. 6. “I look at her as a business leader and a CEO of her own brand. And the results that she’s driven are just unbelievable.”
In a year defined by a better-than-expected economic data driven by robust consumer spending, Swift’s success was one way to explain why the US economy didn’t fall into a widely predicted recession.
