The wait is over: Gannett, the biggest newspaper chain in the U.S., finally announced their hire for the highly coveted Taylor Swift reporter job at USA Today. The lucky Swiftie is 35-year-old Bryan West.
It’s no wonder USA Today was looking for a reporter to cover Swift full-time. The now-billionaire superstar has become an economic powerhouse this year with her record-breaking Eras Tour and the $100 million box office hit Eras Tour movie. She’s reshaping the music industry with the stunning successes of her re-recording projects, most recently 1989 (Taylor’s Version). Swift’s impact was even noted in a Federal Reserve economic report, while analysts call the boost she gives to local economies the “TSwift Lift.”
