If you’re anything like us, we see an interesting headline during our daily scroll—pause to read it—but then keep scrolling without reading the actual story. So at the end of each week, we’re rounding up all the buzziest, news-worthy headlines you might have missed. Think of it like the “saved” feature on Instagram but for news instead of aesthetically pleasing photos. Megan Thee Stallion is stepping into the documentary world, and Taylor Swift is in her book era—this is what you missed.

In Thee Stallion’s Words
Meg is stepping into the world of documentaries with her own: In Her Words. Set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on October 31st, the rapper announced this week that the film will be an honest, raw look into her life – having to cope with the loss of her mother, and other major events that shocked the world and changed her life.

In Her Book Era
Calling all Swifties: if a three-hour long concert film wasn’t enough, you’ll soon be blessed with The Official Eras Tour Book – a 256 paged-look into the star’s global tour. She announced on Good Morning America earlier this week that the project will include new, behind the scenes pictures and focus on costumes, set designs, instruments, rehearsals and more. Taylor will also use her voice by adding personal notes and thoughts to the book, keeping a diary account of the Eras Tour for years and years to come.

Snoop Bryan & Zach Dogg
Snoop Dogg and Zach Bryan are cooking up a surprising collaboration. During an appearance on the Today show, Snoop revealed that Bryan sent him a track to feature on, inspired by seeing him with Bruce Springsteen on Rolling Stone’s Musicians on Musicians cover. This marks Bryan’s first hip-hop collab, adding to his impressive lineup of partnerships with artists like Springsteen and John Mayer. Bryan continues to defy genre labels, aiming to be recognized as a songwriter beyond country, much like his hero Springsteen.
