According to a credible source, Nadéah 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.

Why not Nadéah 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 45-year-old singer, as a 2026 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Nadéah 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 ‘Australian Of The Year’ by some major Australian newspapers and even ‘Melbourne Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Melbourne (Nadéah'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:
“#NadéahPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”
— @TomMiller, 9 Jan 2026
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveNadéah”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 9 Jan 2026
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Nadéah?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 9 Jan 2026
Could 2026 officially be the Year of Nadéah?
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?
