- Elon Musk warned Swift after she was crowned Time's Person of the Year
Elon Musk has warned Taylor Swift after the singer was crowned Time Magazine's Person of the Year.
After being named the 2023 winner of the award, Swift took to Twitter to thank the magazine's West Coast Editor Sam Lansky, who wrote the piece in tribute to the star's standout year.
Although she has received numerous accolades and awards throughout her stellar career in pop music, 2023 was a particularly successful year for the singer as she launched her highly anticipated Eras Tour.
However, Musk, the owner of X, formerly Twitter, issued an ominous warning to the star after winning the Person of the Year award himself in 2021.
Swift initially posted to If you've ever been around him, you know he's just the best type of person: curious. Interested. Hilarious. Intriguing and intrigued.

“I have trust issues when it comes to interviews, but I couldn't be happier that I did this with him. I was blown away when I saw quotes from people I adore and admire like Stevie Nicks, Greta Gerwig, Shonda Rhimes, Phoebe Bridgers, Natalie Maines, Kenny Chesney, and Lucian Grainge.
“I was so happy that he spoke to fans Madison and McCall, who were so eloquent, loyal and friendly. I really think about this year and all the years that came before it. I can't say thank you enough,” she added.
Her tribute to Lansky and other celebrities provoked a response from Musk, who congratulated her with the comment “congratulations” before adding: “There is a risk that popularity will decline after this award.” I speak from experience.'
Other users countered that Swift's popularity might decline after she won the award in response to Musk's comments.
One user wrote: 'No, never. Her music is timeless.'
A second posted: 'No way! I think it's even higher than ever.”
Another replied: “Yours sure went way down.”
A fourth added: 'Recognition and awards can sometimes bring challenges, including the risk of declining popularity. It is not unusual for greater visibility to yield divergent opinions.”
