Swift Publicist Erickson Resigns: As of mid-March, Erickson PR's Paula Erickson will no longer serve as Taylor Swift's publicist after seven years in that role. Erickson gave notice early this year, and the amicable parting follows an immensely successful run in which she oversaw Swift's national, international and endorsement-related publicity. Highlights include two Rolling Stone covers, the cover of Vogue, Saturday Night Live, 60 Minutes and Dateline. No word on plans for Swift's media representation. Reach Erickson here.
