Eliza Thompson

Work or writing background leading to expertise

Eliza began her career as the music editor at BUST magazine, profiling musicians like Neko Case and Janelle Monáe and attending a ton of concerts “for work.” From there, she became a senior entertainment editor at Cosmopolitan, where she wrote about shows like Game of Thrones and Pretty Little Liars and spearheaded coverage of all things spooky. Many years ago, she had a summer job at Blockbuster Video (R.I.P.) and was banned from working the sales floor because she was “too honest” when customers asked for an opinion on their selections. She joined the Us Weekly team in April 2021.
