Serious Announcement: Gannett, the first U.S. regional journalism group that owns the USA TODAY Network, is seeking an “energetic” and multimedia journalist to exclusively cover mega pop star Taylor Swift, a cultural phenomenon and business steamroller.

A “Taylor Swift Reporter” ad appeared on the DayForce job site Tuesday, published by Gannett for its USA Today newspapers and The Tennessean, a local publication of the USA Today Network: “Seeking an experienced reporter, turned to video and capable of capturing the music and cultural impact of Taylor Swift.”
“Swift’s fan base in the U.S. and around the world has reached unprecedented heights, as has the importance of her music and legacy,” notes Gannett.
USA TODAY Network and its newspaper in Tennessee (South) are looking to hire “a dynamic editor, photographer and social media pro with an insatiable thirst for everything Taylor Swift does on all platforms.”
It needs “a creative, energetic journalist who will report on Swift’s current tour and excitement about her upcoming album, while providing thoughtful analysis of her music and career.”
USA TODAY warns that the “Taylor Swift” column “must have a voice, but no bias.”
The 33-year-old musician is a musical and cultural phenomenon and an economic juggernaut.
She has completed part of her “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” in the United States and Mexico and is scheduled to visit Canada in November 2024. He is scheduled to visit Argentina at the end of the year, Europe, Asia and Australia until the end of 2024.
In 146 sold-out venues, Taylor Swift – who started at a young age in a bar in the country’s “capital” Nashville (Tennessee) – should reach a billion dollars in revenue.
In late August, he announced that his concerts would be the subject of a film on October 13 at AMC theaters in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
John Williams, president of the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) branch in New York, also spoke last Thursday of the “Taylor Swift” effect that has fueled the US economy in recent months.
In June, a thousand Gannett journalists and staffers went on strike to demand reinvestment in the USA TODAY network’s “defunct” local news portfolio of 200 titles and the departure of the company’s embattled boss, Mike Reed.
