“Is something you’ll never, ever be: a billionaire”: Netizens slam Eric Conn for blasting Taylor Swift's Time magazine cover

On December 6, podcaster, journalist, and Christian preacher Eric Conn made a controversial tweet about Taylor Swift’s latest feat – being named as the Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” and featured on the magazine cover.

Not only did he call the honor “shameful and sad,” Conn further tagged Swift as a “hyper-promiscuous, childless woman,” who he claimed was aging alone with only a cat for company. Eric also slammed the Blank Space singer for having turned out to be a new-age feminist icon.

Since his tweet surfaced, fans of the 33-year-old musical artist have put Conn under fire. Here are some of the backlashes he faced from the comment section of his own post.

Time Magazine named Taylor Swift the 2023 Person of the Year on December 6. The music icon whose 2023 Eras tour broke box-office records follows in the footsteps of former U.S. President Barack Obama, climate activist Greta Thunberg, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as per BBC.

In response to the honor, she told Time magazine on Wednesday that she is “the proudest and happiest” she’s ever felt in her life. For those uninitiated, the particular award is meant for an event or an individual who made the most significant mark on global events over the past year.
