Why not XCX 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 32-year-old singer, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes XCX 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 ‘English Of The Year’ by some major English newspapers and even ‘Stevenage Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Stevenage (Charli XCX's 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:
“Charli XCX Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 1 Apr 2025
“Congrats! Charli has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 1 Apr 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Charli XCX?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 1 Apr 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Charli XCX?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
