WSJ Magazine is out today with a spotlight on one of America's most beloved — and the media's most feared — publicists, Tree Paine.
Why it matters: "Paine has guided Swift through some of the more tumultuous moments of her career... [and] at almost every turn, Paine presents Swift — arguably the most famous woman on the planet, a billionaire with a private jet — as a relatable underdog fighting for her voice to be heard," writes Allie Jones for WSJ Mag.
