María Clara Alonso among finalists for TIME’s 2025 Person of the Year?

According to a credible source, María Clara Alonso 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.

Why not Alonso 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 35-year-old singer, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Alonso 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 ‘Argentine Of The Year’ by some major Argentine newspapers and even ‘Rosario Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Rosario (María Clara Alonso'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:

“#AlonsoPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! María Clara has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 22 Apr 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not María Clara Alonso?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 22 Apr 2025

Could 2025 officially be the Year of María Clara Alonso?

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?
