“I would say this position’s no different than being a sports journalist who’s a fan of the home team,” West told Variety of his new gig. He’s also won several awards for his work, including two Emmys, a Murrow, and a duPont.
After graduating from Northwestern University, West worked as a morning show planner, an investigative producer, and then a broadcast reporter in Phoenix.
In his video resume, in which he listed 13 reasons why he’s the right fit for the job, he described meeting Swift in person, joking, “Our ears touched and I thought for a second, ‘I could be straight.’”īut his credentials include serious journalism, too. And the genesis story of the couple’s relationship has boosted sales at craft suppliers like Michaels after fans learned that Kelce gifted Swift a friendship bracelet after seeing her perform.
Swift’s first appearance at a Chiefs game led Heinz to release a limited-edition “Ketchup and Seemingly Ranch” sauce after the pop singer was spotted eating chicken with both sauces. Her influence even extends to the NFL and beyond, as her romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce drives her legions of fans to the stadiums donning Chiefs jerseys.
