It is a job millions of music fans around the world would die for.
But now ITV's This Morning has revealed it has filled its opening for a Taylor Swift correspondent.
US influencer Tyler Conroy is a huge fan of the pop singer – despite once almost being run over by her tour bus.
From tomorrow he will bring viewers the latest news and views on the billionaire superstar.
The expert will be a regular on the ITV show in the run-up to the 14-time Grammy winner's UK Eras tour, which kicks off in June.

A This Morning insider said: 'Taylor is a social phenomenon and people cannot get enough of her.
'Just like there are other specialists bringing the latest in their fields to the viewers, now there will be a Taylor expert. It's a UK first and it is so exciting.'
Massachusetts-born Mr Conroy, 31, has been following Ms Swift since 2008. Aged 15, he began having guitar lessons so that he could learn to play every song from her second album, Fearless.
He has attended more than 30 of her concerts, has met Ms Swift, 34, three times and has even been invited to her home.
The superfan penned the 2016 biography Taylor Swift: This Is Our Song, and had the word 'fearless' – in the singer's handwriting – tattooed on his left foot in a nod to her 2008 album.
Mr Conroy appeared as a guest on the This Morning sofa earlier this month.

He said of his new job: 'I am wonderstruck by this opportunity and could not be more excited to join the This Morning family to give the UK their morning cup of Taylor tea.
'I feel like I've been preparing for this role my entire life, especially as someone who is chronically online within the digital world of Taylor Swift. I am beyond honoured to represent the beautiful Swiftie community and do our mother proud.'
Mr Conroy's role is the latest shake-up in the show's relaunch, with new hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard also returning tomorrow after a two-week Easter break.
His appointment follows American newspaper USA Today hiring its first Taylor Swift reporter, Bryan West, in November.
Elsewhere, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London is also seeking an expert on the US pop sensation.
Its ideal consultant will be well-versed in handmade memorabilia, such as concert signs and friendship bracelets, which Ms Swift is known to hand out at her shows.
