Taylor Swift and her longtime publicist, Paula Erickson, have parted ways, MusicRow has confirmed.
Erickson and Swift began working together in 2007, beginning a seven-year professional relationship. In that time, Swift soared to worldwide success and released four albums that have all been certified multi-platinum.
During Erickson’s tenure with Swift, she coordinated numerous high-profile media appearances for the superstar, including hosting duties on Saturday Night Live and performances at the Grammy Awards, Country Music Association Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards, and MTV Video Music Awards, along with cover stories in publications including Glamour, Vogue, and Vanity Fair.
Erickson’s other clients include Show Dog-Universal. Previously, the PR maven was awarded the Publicist Guild’s Maxwell Weinberg Publicist Showmanship Award for work with the Academy Award-winning motion picture Walk The Line.
