据多家外媒报道,美国《时代》杂志公布2023年度人物,“霉霉”泰勒· 斯威夫特(Taylor Swift)成功当选。
Taylor Swift has capped off a stellar 2023 by being named Time Magazine's person of the year.
泰勒·斯威夫特被《时代》杂志评为年度人物,为她的2023年划上了圆满的句号。
The award goes to an event or person deemed to have had the most influence on global events over the past year.
该奖项授予被认为在过去一年中对全球影响最大的事件或个人。
2023年,对于霉霉来说,可以算是爱情事业双丰收。
在《时代》杂志的采访中,她首次公开谈论和新男友特拉维斯·凯尔斯(Travis Kelce)的交往细节。大方坦率,姐就是女王。
The couple hit the headlines in September when Swift was spotted at with Kelce's mother at one of his games.
这对情侣在9月份登上了头条,当时斯威夫特被拍到和凯尔斯的母亲一起看他的比赛。
"By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple," she explained, adding they had first hooked up over the summer.
“当我去看第一场比赛的时候,我们已经是情侣了,”她解释说,并补充说他们在夏天就开始约会。
The larger point, for her, is that there’s nothing to hide. “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” she says.
对她来说,更重要的一点是,没有什么好隐瞒的。她说:“当一段关系公开时,就意味着我要看到他做他喜欢做的事,我们要为彼此而出现,及时其他人在那里,我们也不在乎。”
“The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
“但如果还没公开,你必须付出极大的努力,以确保没有人知道你在和别人约会。而我们都为彼此感到骄傲。”
When Swift started dating Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chief and two-time Super Bowl champion, his games saw a massive increase in viewership. (Yes, she somehow made one of America’s most popular things—football—even more popular.)
当斯威夫特开始与堪萨斯城酋长队、两届超级碗冠军特拉维斯·凯尔斯约会时,他的比赛收视率大幅上升。(是的,她让美国最受欢迎的运动之一橄榄球变得更受欢迎了。)

接下来我们要开始聊聊2023霉霉的事业成就。因为很多人心里可能有疑惑,一个流行音乐歌手凭什么成为《时代》2023年度人物?
Already a superstar before 2023, her career has reached new heights thanks to the Eras tour - which sees the singer perform a career-spanning 45-song set every night.
在2023年之前,她就已经是一个超级巨星了,由于“时代”的巡演,她的事业达到了新的高度——在这场巡演中,她每晚都会演唱45首歌曲。
Demand for tickets was so high that it crashed Ticketmaster's website, prompting a hearing into its business practices by the US Senate.
歌迷们对门票的需求之大,一度导致Ticketmaster网站崩溃,还促使美国参议院对其商业行为举行听证会。
今年3月,美国亚利桑那州格伦代尔市(Glendale),为迎接和纪念霉霉的世界巡演在此起跑,曾更名为斯威夫特市(Swift City)。
今年6月,霉霉在辛辛那提市(Cincinnati)连开两场演唱会,数据显示这两场演唱会为当地经济带来9200万美元收入。
于是市长宣布将6月30日定为泰勒·斯威夫特日(Taylor Swift Day)。
7月,霉霉又在西雅图(Seattle)连开两场演唱会,当地地震仪检测到的数据显示,演唱会期间现场粉丝们的躁动,引发相当于2.3级地震(2.3 magnitude earthquake)的地震活动。
11月,霉霉抵达巴西里约热内卢,当地著名地标建筑,被誉为世界七大奇迹之一的救市基督像投影霉霉在《You Belong With Me》的经典造型,来表达对霉霉的致敬与欢迎。
这就是霉霉的影响力。
除了演唱会,她的巡演电影《泰勒·斯威夫特:时代巡回演唱会》(Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour)于2023年10月13日在北美地区上映。
该片不仅提名第8届美国评论家选择纪录片奖“最佳音乐纪录片”奖,还获得吉尼斯世界纪录“史上全球票房最高的音乐会电影”认证。
10月27日,她还独立发行了第四张重录专辑《1989 (Taylor's Version)》,打破了自己的纪录,成为Spotify今年单日流媒体播放量最高的专辑。
As well as her tour, Swift has also released the biggest-selling record of 2023 - a re-recording of her decade-old album 1989.
除了巡演,斯威夫特还发行了2023年最畅销的专辑——重新录制了她十年前的专辑《1989》。
Incredibly, she also has the second and third biggest-sellers of the year in America, with Midnights and Speak Now (Taylor's Version) eclipsing records by Drake, Olivia Rodrigo and Ed Sheeran.
令人难以置信的是,她的《午夜》和《爱的告白(泰勒版)》在美国的销量也名列第二和第三,打破了德雷克、奥利维亚·罗德里戈和艾德·希兰的纪录。
Last month, the star was declared a billionaire by business publication Bloomberg, which estimated her net worth to be $1.1bn (£907m).
上个月,商业出版物彭博社宣布这位明星为亿万富翁,估计她的净资产为11亿美元(9.07亿英镑)。
Only three other musicians have achieved billionaire status - Rihanna, Beyoncé and Jay-Z.However, Swift is the first to reach the milestone based on music alone, as her rivals' fortunes incorporate business ventures in fashion, beauty products and hi-fi equipment.
只有其他三位歌手达到了亿万富翁的地位——蕾哈娜、碧昂斯和Jay-Z。然而,斯威夫特是第一个仅凭音乐就达到这一里程碑的人,其他三位的财富来源还包括时尚、美容产品和高保真设备方面的商业投资。
毫无疑问,霉霉已经成为这个时代最具影响力的流行文化符号之一。
之前英大就发过文章,包括顶尖名校哈佛大学在内的多所大学都开设了与霉霉相关的课程,研究她的音乐流派、粉丝文化以及她对经济的影响。缺课的同学请点击:
"It feels like the breakthrough moment of my career, happening at 33," she told Time. "And for the first time in my life, I was mentally tough enough to take what comes with that."
她在接受《时代》杂志采访时表示:“这感觉像是我职业生涯的突破时刻,发生在33岁。”“这是我人生中的第一次,我的精神足够坚强,能够承受随之而来的一切。”
祝福霉霉
2024创造出更好的成绩
