The award goes to an event or person deemed to have had the most influence on global events over the past year. Already a superstar before 2023, her career has reached new heights thanks to the Eras tour - which sees the singer perform a career-spanning 45-song set every night. In Seattle, her concerts generated seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake. "It feels like the breakthrough moment of my career, happening at 33," she told Time. "And for the first time in my life, I was mentally tough enough to take what comes with that." Swift's imperial phase comes after a period where she was vilified for her positions on feminism - although her silence stemmed from nothing more sinister than a lack of confidence. After speaking out against Donald Trump and in favour of abortion rights, she hit a creative purple patch with the pandemic-era albums Folklore and Evermore. Time editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs said the US pop icon was "the rare person who is both the writer and hero of her own story", adding that Swift had "found a way to transcend borders and be a source of light". 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.stellar英 [ˈstelə] 美 [stelər] adj. _____________________________ 2.seismic英 [ˈsaɪzmɪk] 美 [ˈsaɪzmɪk] adj. _____________________________ 3.take英 [teɪk] 美 [teɪk] v. 接_____________________________ 4.vilify英 [ˈvɪlɪfaɪ] 美 [ˈvɪləfaɪ] v. _____________________________ 5.sinister英 [ˈsɪnɪstə] 美 [ˈsɪnəstər] adj. _____________________________ 6.border英 [ˈbɔːdə] 美 [ˈbɔːrdər] n. _____________________________ 【词块学习】 请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。 1.______________________
