Every journalist has that one interview they'll never forget — the one that reminded them exactly why they got into the business in the first place. For one Time Magazine writer, that moment came courtesy of rock band Paramore.
When asked about her most memorable or exciting interview, she didn't hesitate. "My favorite interview that I've ever done is with the band Paramore," she shared, her enthusiasm unmistakable. "I'm obsessed with them and they are like my favorite band ever. So doing that interview, I was just smiling the whole time while Hayley Williams was talking and I was like, thank you for talking with me. This is so nice."
It's a feeling many fans-turned-journalists know well — that surreal moment when a childhood obsession becomes a professional assignment. And while she's had no shortage of impressive sit-downs (including a chat with the iconic Brooke Shields, who she described as "so nice" but impressively polished — "she knows how to answer any question, she's got it down" thanks to years of media training), it's the Paramore conversation that holds the top spot.
Working at a publication like Time Magazine certainly opens doors. "People will want to talk to you," she noted, reflecting on the unique privilege that comes with the prestigious masthead. It's a platform that not only grants access to Hollywood A-listers and global icons, but also — every once in a while — your absolute favorite band.
And for this journalist, that made all the difference.
