The blank space for Gannett’s first Taylor Swift journalist position has been filled. Bryan West will take on the job reporting all things Taylor. Bryan says he’s a Swiftie — he even met Taylor once — but that he will report fairly. There’s one question he’s dying to ask Taylor if given the opportunity to interview her, and it has to do with her own heartbeat used on the track “Wildest Dreams.” “I want to ask her, ‘Were you in the doctor’s office and they were just taking a pulse, and you’re like, ‘Hold on, I’ve got to record this’?” Bryan said.
