Why not Fimbres for Person of the Year?

The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 42-year-old singer, as a 2026 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Fimbres so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the singer have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Upland Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Upland (Aundrea Fimbres' hometown).

Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year

A representative for the singer was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:

“Aundrea Fimbres Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 14 Dec 2025
“Congrats! Aundrea has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 14 Dec 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Aundrea Fimbres?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 14 Dec 2025

Could 2026 officially be the Year of Aundrea Fimbres?

Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2026 Person of the Year.

Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2026?
