You're listening to First in Line, your all access pass to fan culture with Liv Fitzsimons and Elham Mohamud. First in Line is a community by fans, for fans.

This week we're joined by Kelsey Barnes, a music & culture writer from Toronto. She shares how she got her start as a writer, what it was like to meeting Taylor Swift TWICE, and how she's picked up two new roles in PR & artist management. We discuss fan experiences on Myspace, the hype around Olivia Rodrigo's drivers license, and how Kelsey is sooooo good with words. Thanks Kelsey for coming on the show!
