According to a well-informed source, One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the singer's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 21/11/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Tomlinson 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 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Tomlinson so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the singer have already been named ‘Briton Of The Year’ by some major British newspapers and even ‘Doncaster Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Doncaster (Louis Tomlinson'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:
“Louis Tomlinson Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 20 Nov 2024
“Congrats! Louis has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 20 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Louis Tomlinson?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 20 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Louis Tomlinson?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
