According to Time, on April 23rd, Taylor Swift and Khalid are slated to perform at this year’s Time 100 Gala. The two pop stars are also honored on the 2019 Time 100 list.
“Taylor makes the job of creating music for millions of people look easy,” Shawn Mendes writes of Swift for the Time 100 list. “It all comes from her — her belief in magic and love, and her ability to be as honest and raw as possible. She’s the master of putting the perfect amount of thought into not overthinking, and that’s why her music connects so well.”
Alicia Keys advocated for Khalid for the list. “He’s a beautiful writer with the ability to take human concepts and make you understand and feel them,” Keys writes. “He has a full, powerful voice that is somehow unassuming and smooth at the same time. He’s accessible — almost like you’ve met somebody like him before, although there’s nobody else like him.”
