Just like 2018, Taylor broke a few records and raked in some big achievements in 2019. In April, she was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people, marking the third time she's received the special honour.
During the Teen Choice Awards in August, she became the very first recipient of the Icon Award, where she graciously took a moment to thank her incredible fans. "I want to talk to the fans for a second," she said while holding the award adorned with photos of her cats. "You make me so happy. You make me laugh every day online. I love meeting you. I love loving you. You are the most generous people. Thank you for giving me the life I have. This is a really proud moment for me."
