He joined the team in March 2019, working closely with editors across the entertainment team to create news stories, long-form features, and reaction pieces.

He also helps develop and execute live coverage for major music releases, TV events, and award shows.

When Jake isn’t investigating Taylor Swift’s easter eggs or watching Bravo for Bustle, you can find him at Britney Spears trivia night, getting in his 10,000 steps at Bergdorf, or playing Kylie Minogue’s “Padam Padam” to anyone who will listen. He is up for traveling anywhere he can go — especially if Lady Gaga or Beyoncé are there.
