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. Connie Francis goes viral 64 years later and Taylor drops first Reputation TV hit on The Handmaids Tale—this is what you missed.
#1
1961 Hit Reborn
Connie Francis just pulled off the ultimate retro comeback without even knowing what “going viral” meant. When her 1961 B-side Pretty Little Baby suddenly topped TikTok charts, the 87-year-old icon had one question: “What’s that?” Now, with millions of Gen Zs swooning over her sweet serenade to pets and babies, Connie’s crooning across continents in five new languages. Who needs a tour bus when you’ve got TikTok and a Bentley?

Harrison Ford X Miley Cyrus?
Turns out even Miley Cyrus isn’t immune to Harrison Ford’s legendary no-nonsense wisdom. While dreaming up a globe-trotting, forest-filled fantasy for her Something Beautiful film, she ran it by Ford—who promptly hit her with a reality check. “Looks expensive,” he quipped, instantly deforesting her entire concept. Miley wisely swapped pine trees for practicality, ditching the wilderness for theaters, turning her pop opera into a stationary spectacle instead of a logistical nightmare. Who knew Indiana Jones also moonlighted as a production budget guru?

REP IS COMING
Taylor Swift just turned The Handmaid’s Tale into a Reputation-era rally cry. In a perfectly dramatic twist, “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” soundtracked a scene of defiant handmaids marching in lockstep, because nothing says “girl power meets dystopia” quite like Taylor reclaiming her masters while June reclaims her power. Executive producer Elisabeth Moss called it a long-awaited Swiftie dream come true, and honestly, it’s hard to top a revenge anthem syncing flawlessly with a feminist uprising. Taylor didn’t just drop a rerecord, she dropped the mic.

He may not be the problem?
Morgan Wallen just proved he’s not the problem, at least when it comes to breaking records. His 37-track behemoth of an album, I’m the Problem, stomped onto Spotify, Amazon Music, and Apple Music with all the subtlety of a boot to the streaming charts, becoming the most-streamed country album of 2025 in a single day. With collabs from Post Malone to Eric Church and a festival launch to match, Wallen didn’t just drop an album, he launched a full-scale country takeover. Yeehaw meets megastream.

House Of Kong
Gorillaz are turning 25, and they’re throwing a party only a virtual band could dream up. The genre-bending group is set to celebrate their silver anniversary with a quartet of live shows at London’s Copper Box Arena and an immersive exhibition called House of Kong. Part concert, part cartoon fever dream, the exhibit will dive deep into the animated misfits’ bizarre and brilliant history, from “Tomorrow Comes Today” to their latest sonic shapeshifting. It’s a full-circle trip through two and a half decades of beats, bass, and beautifully weird storytelling.
