O-Rod's oh no: Taylor Swift is Person of Year

Taylor "Nazi Barbie" Swift Time Magazine cover, December 2023; Olivia Rodrigo (Saturday Night Live, 12/9/23); Key of Awesome; Bart Barker; Team Olivia (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Who in the Hades does Olivia Rodrigo think she is, putting Tay-Tay (Taylor "Nazi Barbie" Swift) to shame and giving Queen Bee (Beyonce) a run for her money? You're already top of the pops, girl, so slow down. We can't hardly keep up.

Oh, we get it. No rest for the wicked. Rival T-Swift has just become Time Magazine's person of the year for 2023, making millions on tour, getting accolades one can hardly believe she deserves, and making an s-ton of money, which is what really matters in this society. Bravo, Swift! Frenemies? Can we be the best of enemies, Vampire?

What if they were to join forces like early Lana Del Rey and Lady Gaga?

What if boys invented "Vampire" rather than whomever Olivia Rodrigo got the idea from? Then they'd make a metal version of yelling, full of Rodrigo's emotion but more umphh in the music. Olivia rules. Just ask Elvis Costello. She's young, she needs ideas.
