Maggie Rogers Reveals She Dated a New York Times Reporter Who Was Already in a Relationship

Maggie Rogers opened up about a dating mishap involving a New York Times reporter during a special appearance at Rosalia's Madison Square Garden concert this week.
The 32-year-old "Alaska" singer participated in a confessional skit where she detailed how a friend set her up with someone she believed was single and worked for the prestigious newspaper. The date began promisingly—he arrived in a vintage car to pick her up, and they drove around Manhattan while getting to know each other.
As the evening progressed, the journalist suggested a detour to The New York Times office, which happened to be nearby. Arriving at the empty building around 1am, he gave Rogers a tour of the newsroom before they made out in the conference room. The night concluded with more kissing in the car, though Rogers declined his invitation to come inside.
Excited about the connection, Rogers called two friends the next morning to share the news. One of them delivered unexpected information: the man was already in a relationship. When Rogers confronted him about the other woman, he asked if he could come see her to discuss it—a request she firmly rejected.
"You just can't trust a journalist," Rogers concluded her story during the skit.
