There has been a backlash from Taylor Swift fans regarding Time Magazine’s choice of photographers for her Person of the Year feature. Many fans feel that the photos do not do her justice and have demanded that the photographers be fired. In a recent interview, the 33-year-old superstar, who is currently dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, opened up about her career, her thoughts on Kim Kardashian, and her relationship. While some fans are swooning over Taylor’s cover, others are questioning why the magazine would portray her in such an unflattering way. In response, Swifties have organized a protest against Time Magazine, criticizing the photos for making her look basic and labeling them as the worst. They argue that although Taylor was named Person of the Year, she was not given the cover of the year.
Time Magazine has recently released a collection of photographs featuring the famous artist in various poses. Fans couldn’t help but be captivated by the majority of the images, but there was one particular photo that sparked anger among Swifties. In this photo, the singer was seen wearing a gray sequined bodysuit, which many fans deemed as “basic.” The comments section on Instagram was flooded with criticism directed towards the magazine and the photographers, Inez & Vinoodh. Some even went as far as suggesting that the photographer should be fired. Despite the mixed opinions, it’s clear that Miss Swift continues to receive well-deserved admiration, even if this particular photo didn’t quite meet everyone’s expectations.
Swifties inundated the comment section on Instagram with their dissatisfaction after the photo was shared, expressing their anger towards the magazine and photographers Inez & Vinoodh.
“I apologize, but you all did her a disservice in this photo,” stated one commenter. They further criticized the top as unattractive and the lighting as washing her out. They also questioned the direction of the shoot.
“That picture does not capture her true beauty,” remarked another user.
A user commented, “These photos are incredibly ordinary.”
“This is the worst cover shoot I have ever seen, are you serious?” wrote a sixth person.
Although many were shocked by the photo, others couldn’t help but gush over the singer’s stunning appearance.
The immensely successful pop star, who earned billionaire status this year through her extensive 66-date tour, surpassed notable figures such as Vladimir Putin, Barbie, King Charles, and Sam Altman to secure her place on the shortlist.
In the previous year, following the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was granted the honor alongside the recognition of the “Spirit of Ukraine.”
Swift expressed her immense pride and happiness, describing it as the most creatively fulfilling and liberating moment of her career. In an interview for the magazine’s cover, she referred to herself as a “master storyteller of the modern era.”
Taylor publicly discussed her relationship with Travis for the first time, sharing that it all started with a comment he made on his podcast with his brother.
Taylor’s year was filled with incredible moments, including the hugely successful Eras Tour and concert film, the release of her reimagined 1989 album, and her highly watched relationship with tight end Travis. Her influence is so significant that even college courses have been dedicated to studying her.
During the interview, the singer delved into her relationship with Travis, revealing that it began with a comment he made on his podcast with his brother.
Additionally, Taylor opened up about her intense workout routine, which she followed to prepare for her grueling Eras Tour. This routine included everything from singing while running on a treadmill to completely cutting out alcohol from her life.
The 33-year-old artist amazed her fans with a three-hour and fifteen-minute concert, delivering 44 songs from her decade-long career while astonishingly changing costumes multiple times.
In order to be in peak condition for the tour, the Cruel Summer singer shared the extreme measures she took. She described how she knew this tour would be more challenging than anything she had ever done before.
Taylor also accused Kim Kardashian of psychologically harming her and forcing her to go into hiding during their ongoing feud.
Taylor explained that she started training six months before the tour began at Dogpound, a state-of-the-art facility that provides personalized team training and lifestyle advice, according to its website.
She recounted how she would run through her entire setlist on a treadmill to ensure that she was prepared to perform her hits while moving around the stage.
“Every day, I would run on the treadmill while singing the entire setlist out loud,” she continued. “I would increase my speed for fast songs and slow down to a jog or fast walk for slower songs.”
The singer also addressed her conflict with Kim Kardashian.
