It’s a job that millions of music fans around the world would die for.

But now ITV’s This Morning has revealed it has filled its vacancy for a Taylor Swift correspondent.

American influencer Tyler Conroy is a big fan of the pop singer, even though he was once almost hit by her tour bus.

Starting tomorrow he will bring viewers the latest news and opinions on the billionaire superstar.

The pundit will be a regular on the ITV show in the run-up to the 14-time Grammy winner’s Eras UK tour, which begins in June.

A This Morning source said: ‘Taylor is a social phenomenon and people can’t get enough of her.

‘Just as there are other specialists who bring viewers the latest in their fields, there will now be an expert in Taylor. “It’s a first for the UK and it’s very exciting.”

Conroy, 31, born in Massachusetts, has followed Swift since 2008. At age 15, he began taking guitar lessons so he could learn how to play every song on her second album, Fearless.

He has attended more than 30 of her concerts, met Swift, 34, three times and has even been a guest at her home.

The superfan wrote the 2016 biography Taylor Swift: This Is Our Song, and tattooed the word ‘fearless’, handwritten by the singer, on his left foot in a nod to her 2008 album.

Conroy appeared as a guest on This Morning’s sofa earlier this month.

Of his new job he said: “I am amazed by this opportunity and couldn’t be more excited to join the This Morning family to give the UK its 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 Taylor Swift’s digital world. “I am honored to represent the beautiful Swiftie community and make our mother proud.”

Conroy’s role is the latest change in the show’s relaunch, with new hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard also returning tomorrow after a two-week Easter break.

Her appointment comes after US newspaper USA Today hired its first Taylor Swift reporter, Bryan West, in November.

Separately, London’s Victoria and Albert Museum is also looking for an expert on the American pop sensation.

Your ideal advisor will be well-versed in the handmade souvenirs, like concert posters and friendship bracelets, that Swift hands out at her shows.
