Taylor Swift was featured on Time’s Person of the Year cover on Wednesday, as one of 2017′s “silence breakers” who spoke out during this year’s cultural reckoning surrounding sexual harassment and abuse.
At first, some may have been confused to see Swift - a famously apolitical celebrity who has been criticized for not taking any political stance in this divisive year - categorized as one of “the voices that launched a movement,” as the magazine put it. She stood next to figures such as Ashley Judd, one of the first stars who went on the record with allegations against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, and lobbyist Adama Iwu, who helped coordinate a campaign to stop harassment in California state politics.
