According to a well-informed source, Donna Lewis is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2026. But while the singer's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 15/12/2025 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Lewis 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 52-year-old singer, as a 2026 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Lewis 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 ‘Welsh Of The Year’ by some major Welsh newspapers and even ‘Cardiff Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Cardiff (Donna Lewis' 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:
“#LewisPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveDonna”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 14 Dec 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Donna Lewis?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 14 Dec 2025
Could 2026 officially be the Year of Donna Lewis?
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?
