Trevor Guthrie among finalists for TIME’s 2024 Person of the Year?

According to a credible source, Trevor Guthrie 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 22/11/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Why not Guthrie 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 51-year-old singer, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Guthrie 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 ‘Canadian Of The Year’ by some major Canadian newspapers and even ‘Vancouver Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Vancouver (Trevor Guthrie'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:

“Trevor Guthrie Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 21 Nov 2024
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveTrevor”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 21 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Trevor Guthrie?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 21 Nov 2024

Could 2024 officially be the Year of Trevor Guthrie?

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?
