He said they picked someone who represents joy. With all the horror going on around the world, I'm overjoyed that they decided to focus on love and joy over pain and devastation especially at this time of year.

Yes! My immediate thought went to the appreciation for art and what it does for people, humanity, joy, coping, etc.
love her or hate her, she has the name recognition that others simply didn't have this year. And she's much less divisive than any political figure for either side.

@@imhereforitall9218 But yet, you wonder is Swift kind of leery about openly supporting the Democratic Party given the ugliness of the Leftist protests after the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attacks. Swift currently must walk a very fine line in terms of political support, especially she very well knows what happened to the Beatles in 1966 when John Lennon made that infamous remark about Jesus Christ that came close to seriously hurting the band. That's why she did not respond publicly to the protests in order to protect her brand, one that has been very carefully crafted over the course of her career.

🏆| Taylor has been named the 5th Most Powerful Woman in the world by Forbes! "Most notably, Taylor Swift’s dramatic rise from #79 to #5 epitomizes a new archetype of influence, signaling a shift from the traditional political and corporate might, and that far transcends traditional entertainment boundaries. Her economic impact this year is staggering: the Eras tour alone is reported to have brought in a record-breaking $850 million, and is estimated to have boosted the U.S. economy by over $5 billion. Her innovative business strategies have redefined industry norms. Yet Swift’s most profound impact lies in her ability to sway the cultural and social currents of our time, particularly among a young, predominantly female audience. She symbolizes a new era of power, influencing people and culture independent of any country or company."

Not surprised. Swift single-handed proped up the live music industry, the record industry and even the movie industry. She caused around US$5 billion positive to the US economy. We now know her songwriting skills are nothing short of amazing (she wrote "Willow" from _Evermore_ in 10 minutes?).

Seriously? Out of all the people they could chose, all the heros, all the people that have made huge contributions to society, they chose someone who makes trillions of dollars to sing?
Well deserved and she's insane
As usual the most beautiful music superstar ...
Taylor Swift represent love, kindness, joy and karma.

Congratulations, Taylor, well deserved. You are phenomenal, creative, and kind. I love Taylor and all her music.

I’m a baby of the early 60’s and was privileged to live through some iconic music, musicians, and the creation of the genre’s today uses. Taylor is such a great example of honest talent and hard work that brings to mind those artists, one’s who united people in tumultuous times.
Why was this spot blocked out for the west coast? Instead of seeing it within the show, we had 5 minutes of commercials.
Revealing it being Taylor, just by saying "Are you ready for it?"
