Google's 10 Most Trending Actors and Musicians of 2023 – Taylor Swift Isn't On the List
The US trends don't feature the pop idol despite her enormous success this year.
As Taylor Swift continues to rock the world with her The Eras Tour and rake in millions of dollars in ticket sales, she seems to be the ultimate talk of the town. In addition, the recent film version of her concert has only added to the buzz. It seems, however, that this is primarily a case of the media creating a particular worldview. While Taylor may be the hot topic in the news, people are generally more interested in other stories and artists.
Google's recent list of 2023 search trends is proof of this.
