Michael Rubin, the CEO of Fanatics who comes across as the textbook definition of a person who was a nerd in high school and is now using his ungodly wealth to buy the coolest friends possible, hosted his annual “White Party” over the weekend, which attracts some of the biggest celebrities in the country.
While the likes of Tom Brady, Beyonce, Joe Burrow, Ben Affleck, Kim Kardashian, Jack Harlow, Jay-Z, Kendall Jenner, and more were in attendance, the one person who seemed to garner the most attention on social media was sports journalist and TV host Taylor Rooks.

Rooks — who made headlines in Cannes a couple of weeks ago after the shared a picture with the equally stunning Halle Berry — is currently a sports media personality who covers the NBA for Turner Sports and the NFL for Amazon Prime Video.

Prior to her time at Turner Sports and Prime Video, the 31-year-old University of Illinois alum previously worked at CBS Sports Network, Comcast SportsNet Chicago, Sportsnet New York, and the Big Ten Network. Rooks has also built up a massive social media following over the years as she currently has north of 600,000 followers on Instagram and over 300,000 on Twitter.
Given Rooks’ obvious assets, though, she’s publicly spoken about how crazy her mentions on social media can be, as she told Interview Magazine:
“They are crazy. I owe a lot of my career to social media. But there are times when you have to take breaks. The more popular you get, the mentions get a little crazier.”
With Rooks covering both the NBA and the NFL, the wildly popular journalist is currently enjoying her offseason, as evidenced by recent activity on Instagram, which showed her at The White Party, at the NBA Draft, in France, and more.
