Taylor Swift, fresh off the success of her blockbuster Eras Tour, was crowned Time magazine's Person of the Year earlier this week. However, the accolade comes with a cautionary note from none other than tech magnate Elon Musk.
On Thursday, Dec. 7, Musk, the X CEO and owner known for founding Tesla and SpaceX, took to X with a tongue-in-cheek warning for the pop sensation. "Some risk of popularity decline after this award. I speak from experience lol," he quipped in response to Swift's gratitude-filled post acknowledging the prestigious recognition.
It's worth noting that Musk himself held the coveted Time title in 2021, adding an interesting layer to his words of caution. The tweet from Musk has sparked curiosity and speculation about the potential challenges that might accompany the honor of being named Person of the Year.

This isn't the first instance of Musk reaching out to Swift via social media. Back in September, he responded to one of the singer's posts promoting "1989 (Taylor’s Version)" with a rather unconventional suggestion. "I recommend posting some music or concert videos directly on the X platform," he advised.
The unsolicited advice, however, didn't sit well with Swift's dedicated fan base. Millions of followers expressed their disapproval, criticizing Musk for his handling of the platform and questioning his relevance in the realm of music.
As the pop icon basks in the glow of her latest achievement, only time will tell whether Musk's warning holds any weight or if Swift's star power continues to rise undeterred. The dynamic exchange between these two influential figures adds an unexpected twist to the narrative surrounding Taylor Swift's remarkable year.
