Taylor Swift has spun a legacy, so tell all that every day feels like a brand-new issue of Swiftly Tabloid! She has taken the music world by storm, stacking crowns like they are going out of style, and no corner of the planet has missed her trailblazing vibe. While fans are all about the legendary Taylor Swift effect keeping economists and researchers up at night, they might not know about this award-winning journalist who jumped back into the tabloid game just for her. 

Not only did Swift inspire their grand return, but she also got them to write a fresh chapter in history for an extra special reason. How is that for making headlines?

Award-winning journalist Bryan West recently graced KCTV5 at the Kansas City Area Development Council to share his epic journey to becoming the first-ever full-time Taylor Swift correspondent for USA Today last November. After spending a decade at a tabloid powerhouse, West allegedly took a breather for his "mental health and sobriety." But legend has it that as he was heading out the door, he joked to a friend, “I’m only returning to the news if I can report on Taylor Swift every day.” 

Fast forward five years, and he is in his dream job era. West remembers sitting in class when his friend spotted a job listing for a full-time Taylor Swift reporter at The Tennessean and USA Today. Without missing a beat, he whipped up an application faster than a Swiftie can ‘Shake It Off!’ As he reminisces about the mountain of applications those tabloids must have received, it is wild to think he was the lucky one who snagged that dream call and packed his bags for Nashville.

As the chat went on, the hosts could not resist diving into West’s Swiftie roots and hit him with the burning question of the hour about ‘Reputation (Taylor’s Version)’s release.

Taylor Swift may have thrown her fans a curveball with ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ this year, but they have been on the edge of their seats for ‘Reputation (Taylor’s Version)’ forever. All awards season turns into a nail-biting affair, with everyone on high alert for sneaky Easter egg drops. While chatting with Bryan West on KCTV5 at the Kansas City Development Council, he was asked for his hot takes on the release. 

West pointed out Swift’s legendary punctuality and her knack for planning. He noted the pattern of her releases—two re-records and one new album—leading him to predict that ‘Reputation (Taylor’s Version)’ and her debut could drop sometime next year. West thinks it would be the perfect way to wrap up the tour. And while he gives a shout-out to his broadcasting hustle for keeping up with Swift, not to forget those Swiftie genes that made all this magic possible.
