Singer song writer Taylor Swift has been named the 2023 Time Person of the Year. Her odds? They weren't even available at BetOnline.
BetOnline had Sam Altman as the favorite at +320 odds. Altman is an American entrepreneur and investor, who has been the CEO of OpenAI since 2019 Prior to OpenAI who Time made "CEO of the Year".
Time writes of Swift:
"Swift’s accomplishments as an artist—culturally, critically, and commercially—are so legion that to recount them seems almost beside the point. As a pop star, she sits in rarefied company, alongside Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Madonna; as a songwriter, she has been compared to Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, and Joni Mitchell. As a businesswoman, she has built an empire worth, by some estimates, over $1 billion. And as a celebrity—who by dint of being a woman is scrutinized for everything from whom she dates to what she wears—she has long commanded constant attention and knows how to use it. (“I don’t give Taylor advice about being famous,” Stevie Nicks tells me. “She doesn’t need it.”) But this year, something shifted. To discuss her movements felt like discussing politics or the weather—a language spoken so widely it needed no context. She became the main character of the world."
The entertainer could even be offered in the form of betting props should the Kansas City Chiefs make the 2024 Super Bowl as she is currently dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Swift was the most-played artist on the streaming platform Spotify this year.
Her year included the wildly popular Eras Tour and concert movie, the release of her reimagined ‘1989’ album, and her closely watched relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. She’s even the subject of college courses.
