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. This is what you missed.

#1

BTS is BACK
After nearly three years apart and a completed round of military service, BTS are reuniting in 2026 with a new album and a globe-spanning tour, promising music that reflects each member’s personal growth and creative vision. The group says they’re returning with the same passion that started it all—only now, they’ve got experience, introspection, and millions of fans who never stopped waiting.

Zach Bryan Drops 3 Singles Country crooner Zach Bryan surprise-released a trio of “misfit” tracks—Streets of London, River Washed Hair, and Song for You—because they didn’t quite fit on his record or an EP, but he loved them too much to let them sit. Call it a musical yard sale, but with way more heart (and a nod to David Bowie’s studio). Fans may not have expected them, but as always, Bryan’s off-the-cuff honesty hits just right.

Sabrina Carpenter Raises $1M for Mental Health, LGBTQ+ Rights & More
Sabrina Carpenter isn’t just owning the stage—she’s making real-world impact, too, raising over $1 million in under a year through her Sabrina Carpenter Fund with PLUS1. The fastest-growing artist fund in the nonprofit’s history, it supports mental health initiatives, LGBTQ+ rights, and animal welfare, proving Sabrina’s philanthropy hits just as hard as her pop bangers. As Manchild dominates the charts and a new album looms, she’s setting a new gold standard for what it means to be a modern pop icon with purpose.

Brent Faiyaz Embracing Chaos
Brent Faiyaz returns with a genre-blurring two-pack, ”Peter Pan” and “Tony Soprano” offering a poetic meditation on innocence vs. indulgence, wonder vs. weight. One track floats like a lovestruck daydream, the other broods like a mob boss with too much baggage, but together they reveal an artist fully leaning into life’s contradictions. As Faiyaz puts it, it’s all about duality—and he’s not picking a side.

Lana & Addison in London
Lana Del Rey surprised fans at her London show by bringing Addison Rae onstage for a dreamy live duet of Rae’s throwback hit Diet Pepsi, marking a crossover moment no one saw coming but everyone loved. The two also performed Del Rey’s unreleased track 57.5, blending old-Hollywood melancholy with viral-era pop. With Rae joining again for night two and both artists teasing major projects, this unexpected pairing might just be the fizziest collaboration of the summer.
