Swift kicked off her Eras Tour, her first since before the pandemic, in March with a couple shows in Arizona. The singer has done more than 50 total shows in America and a few in Mexico so far, with more dates – both domestic and international – coming up.
Meanwhile, the re-recorded "Taylor’s Version" of "1989" is slated to drop in late October, something Swift revealed in August. That album, once out, will have been most recently preceded by "Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)."

The "You Belong With Me" singer’s effect on pop culture and industries would also fall under the journalist’s purview, according to the Gannett ad.

Her tour has reportedly racked up an eye-popping amount of money from ticket sales so far. Additionally, it has provided an economic boost to tourism, hospitality and other sectors in the cities she has visited, as FOX Business previously reported.
Those who apply to the "Taylor Swift Reporter" job should be an "energetic writer, photographer and social media pro" with half a decade of journalism already under their belt, Gannett said in the listing. A willingness and ability to travel outside the U.S. is also apparently needed.

The company described the job as either a remote one capable of being based out of most states or one in which the writer would work from northern Virginia, where it has its headquarters.
