Show Notes
Taylor Swift says being named Time Magazine's Person of the Year is the proudest and happiest she's ever felt.
The 33-year-old beat finalists including Barbie, King Charles and OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman.
It caps off Swift's stellar year, which includes her record-breaking 'Eras Tour', two album re-recordings, and becoming Spotify's most most-played artist.
US Correspondent Mitch McCann told Tim Dower that Swift has become even more of a cultural icon in the last year.
He said that her tours both provoked an inquiry into Ticketmaster’s sales practices, and her concert in Seattle reportedly generated seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake.
