Analysis
This market is pricing Taylor Swift at just 6¢ despite a massive 2206% implied yield on the Yes side, suggesting either severe underpricing or extreme skepticism about her chances. The $0 in 24-hour volume combined with $6,759 open interest and a 2¢ spread indicates illiquidity that could make entry/exit difficult, though the 259-day timeframe provides reasonable runway for the bet. The stark contrast between the 2206% Yes yield and 9% No yield, along with a moderate 16 Cliff Risk Index, suggests this is a low-conviction market where the price may not reflect true probability given Time's history of selecting high-profile figures.
Resolution rules
If Taylor Swift is Time Person of the Year for 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.
