Fans of Taylor Swift have criticized Time Magazine and have called for the photographers to be fired after the singer was named Person of the Year and featured in a series of photos that fans believe do not do her justice.
In an interview to commemorate the occasion, the 33-year-old megastar, who is currently in a whirlwind romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, opened up about her career, Kim Kardashian, and her boyfriend.
While many fans are swooning over Taylor’s cover, others are wondering why the magazine would do such a disservice to her by “washing her out” in the photos.
Swifties have now organized a protest against Time Magazine, labeling the photos of the singer showing off her signature red lip and donning a sequined bodysuit as “basic” and the “worst” – adding that while Taylor was named Person of the Year, Time did not award her “cover of the year.”
Time Magazine recently released a series of photographs featuring the artist in various poses. One photo captures the Shake It Off singer wearing a black leotard while holding her cat, Benjamin Button. In another, she is seen wearing a denim jacket and showcasing her beautiful blue eyes as she looks up. Yet another photo depicts her as the epitome of elegance while posing in a business suit.
Although fans couldn’t take their eyes off the singer in the majority of the photos, there was one photo that they wish they hadn’t seen. A photo of the singer wearing a sequined bodysuit in gray has sparked anger among Swifties, who have labeled it as ‘basic’.
Swifties flooded the comments section after the image was shared on Instagram, directing their rage at the magazine and photographer Inez Vinoodh. “We love Miss Swift and it’s well-deserved… but with all respect, please fire this photographer,” one person said. Another user commented, “Definitely not cover of the year though, there are better photos out there.”
Swifties inundated the comments section with their anger after the photo went viral on Instagram, expressing their disappointment towards the magazine and photographers Inez Vinooodh. “I’m sorry, but y’all did her so dirty in this photo,” said another. “That top is hideous, and the lighting in this photo washes her out; who directed the shoot?” “That picture doesn’t do her justice,” said another. One user commented, “These are the most basic photos ever.” A sixth wrote, “The worst shoot cover that I ever saw, are you serious?” While many were taken aback by the photo, others praised the singer’s beauty. The pop superstar, whose massive 66-date tour made her a billionaire this year, beat out Vladimir Putin, Barbie, King Charles, and Sam Altman, among others, on the shortlist. Following the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the honor was bestowed upon Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the “Spirit of Ukraine” last year. “This is the most proud and happy I’ve ever felt, as well as the most creatively fulfilled and free I’ve ever felt… It feels like the breakthrough moment of my career, happening at 33,” Swift said in an interview for the magazine’s cover, where she is described as a “master storyteller of the modern era.”
Taylor spoke publicly for the first time about her relationship with Travis, revealing that it began with a comment on the football star’s podcast with his brother.
Her year was highlighted by the wildly successful Eras Tour and concert film, the release of her reimagined 1989 album, and her closely watched relationship with tight end Travis. Even college courses have been written about her.
The singer opened up about her relationship with Travis for the first time publicly, saying it began with a comment on the football star’s podcast with his brother.
She also discussed the insane workout regimen that helped her prepare for her Eras Tour, which included everything from running on a treadmill while singing to quitting all alcohol.
The 33-year-old singer’s impressive three-hour-and-15-minute concert features her performing 44 songs from her decade-long career while changing costumes multiple times.
The Cruel Summer singer revealed the extreme measures she took to ensure she was in peak condition for the tour.
“I knew this tour was going to be harder than anything I’d ever done before,” she told the publication.
Taylor accused Kim Kardashian of ‘taking her down psychologically’ and forcing her to go into hiding during their long-running feud.
Taylor explained that she began training six months before the tour began at Dogpound, a state-of-the-art facility that offers bespoke team, private training, and lifestyle advice, according to its website.
She recalled running through her entire setlist on a treadmill in order to be ready to belt out her hits while moving around the stage.
The singer even spoke out about her feud with Kim Kardashian.
