Caroline Smith

• Caroline has been editing for Vulture since 2021 and has contributed to the site's "Love Is Blind" club newsletter, gossiping with her co-workers about the contestants' villain turns and breakup blowouts.
• She is particularly interested in exploring how the women she grew up watching, like Amanda Bynes or Jennette McCurdy, navigate the shift from intensely scrutinized child star to a quieter, yet still public, adult life.
• For fun, she is co-writing a novel with her best friend about a '90s girl group reuniting for a tour, based loosely around bands like the Spice Girls and Destiny's Child.

Experience

Caroline is a copy editor working in digital media, where her passion for proofreading meets her need to stay current on everything from Charli XCX's latest collabs to what happened last night on "The Traitors." In 2024, she started writing celebrity profiles for Perception Magazine and found that her lifelong love of storytelling translated well into capturing the ambitions and inner lives of rising actors. She has profiled up-and-coming talent such as Madison Elise Rogers of 1923, exploring the deeper motivations that drew them to the profession. She hopes one day we'll find out what really happened in the mysterious Bennifer 2.0 and Nicole Kidman/Keith Urban divorces.

Education

Caroline earned a bachelor's degree in English language and literature from Stony Brook University.
