According to a top source, Haley Bennett is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the singer's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 20/02/2025 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Bennett 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 37-year-old singer, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Bennett 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 ‘Fort Myers Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Fort Myers (Haley Bennett'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:
“Haley Bennett Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 19 Feb 2025
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveHaley”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 19 Feb 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Haley Bennett?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 19 Feb 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Haley Bennett?
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?
