Sydney N. Sweeney

Sydney N. Sweeney is a celebrity writer at Elite Daily, where she writes on all the tea surrounding your Hollywood faves. Aside from celeb stuff at large, she also covers everything that’s going on in pop music, from new releases to wild stan reactions. In addition to writing at Elite Daily, Sydney freelances for culture platforms all over the web. Her essays on music, identity, and pop nostalgia can be found in publications like i-D, Adolescent, FLARE, and Popdust. She also self-publishes long-form criticism and personal essays on Medium (@sydneynsweeney). Previously, she was the sex and love editor at Adolescent; but, before pivoting to freelance writing, she worked in arts communications and fashion copywriting. Sydney graduated with a BA in Journalism and Creative Editing and Publishing from San Diego State University, where she was an arts and culture and opinion staff writer for the award-winning Daily Aztec. When Sydney’s not writing, she models — although she doesn’t introduce herself as a model, because calling yourself a “writer and model” sounds like 1) you're actually unemployed and 2) the most cliched, Los Angeles thing ever. And, speaking of Los Angeles, that’s where she happily lives and hails from. In her free time, she can be found avoiding the Westside, complaining about moderately chilly weather, or basking in the sun at Echo Park Lake. She stans Mariah Carey, Spotify’s algorithm, and zillennial Disney Channel programming. Connect with her on Twitter @syderature.
