Many Internet users have been surprised on social networks by the warning that Elon Musk gave Taylor Swift after being chosen as the ‘person of the year‘ by the prestigious Time magazine for the successful work she has done and the surprising increase in popularity she has had these last 12 months.
In a post on the social network X, where the global pop star was thanking for the recognition he had obtained, the founder of Tesla and Space X commented, “Beware, the possibility of the popularity decreasing after this award is high; I speak from experience lol“.

However, Taylor Swift’s career has only shown that it will continue to rise, as according to an analysis by Social Blade, the singer recorded an increase of a quarter of a million followers online after her interview with Time, which shows that her popularity increases day by day.
