Swayed to dance with journalist (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reeled

'swayed' is the definition.

'dance with journalist' is the wordplay.
'dance' becomes 'reel' (reel is a kind of dance).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'reel'+'ed'='REELED'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for reeled that I've seen before include "'Staggered, spun around (6)'" , "Staggered - having done Irish dance?" , "Lurched" , "Felt giddy or bewildered" , "Wound up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
