Jordon Hudson, the North Carolina football program’s director, has made headlines after comparing herself to Taylor Swift’s publicist, Tree Paine. Hudson told The Sports Gossip Show that she follows a similar media strategy, saying “I love that you said I’m like Bill Belichick’s Tree Paine because I am.”
The comparison sparked controversy after an interview with CBS was disrupted by Hudson’s reportedly repeated interruptions and her instruction to coach Bill Belichick not to answer a hard-hitting question. Belichick has downplayed his connection to the program, citing public-released emails as evidence.
Hudson’s comments have drawn parallels to Paine’s work on Taylor Swift’s behalf, with some suggesting that she is emulating Paine’s tactics in her own PR efforts. The situation highlights how even high-profile athletes and coaches can benefit from effective communication strategies.
