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. Katy Perry is reaching for the stars – literally and Lizzo announces a new album along with dropping a new single—this is what you missed.
#1
Katy Perry is going to Space
Katy Perry is trading “Teenage Dream” for a space dream, joining an all-women crew on Blue Origin’s next mission. Alongside Gayle King, Lauren Sánchez, and a powerhouse team of scientists and activists, she’s set to blast past the Kármán line for an out-of-this-world experience. Oprah gave King the green light, Sánchez rallied the crew, and Perry? Well, she’s proving once again that nothing is beyond her imagination. With her Lifetimes tour kicking off in April, it looks like she’s taking “reach for the stars” quite literally.

Lizzo’s New Album LIVE
Lizzo is about to serve up a triple dose of Love in Real Life—and we’re not just talking about her new album. With three intimate shows in LA, NYC, and Minneapolis, she’s giving fans a first taste of her next era, live and up close. It’s been over two years since we got fresh Lizzo tunes, but if her track record (and trophies) tell us anything, this album is about to be a whole mood. Get your glitter, grab your tissues—because whether she’s making you dance, cry, or both, Lizzo’s love is always the real deal.

Benson Boone Shows His Loyal Side
Benson Boone just dropped the ultimate “oops, my bad” anthem with Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else—because nothing says “great timing” like running into your ex before a date. The synthy pop-rock track is his first of the year, following Beautiful Things, aka the biggest song of 2024. With catchy hooks and a dash of romantic awkwardness, Boone proves once again he knows how to turn life’s messy moments into a streaming goldmine. Up next? SXSW, Coachella, and probably another song that’ll live rent-free in our heads.
#4
Halsey’s Back With Punk-Rock Single
Halsey just dropped “Safeword”, a punk-rock banger that’s as wild as its NSFW video—seriously, don’t play this one at brunch with your parents. Gritty guitars, pounding drums, and dominatrix energy set the stage as she flips the script on control. Leather, chains, and a whole lot of attitude? Check. With her For My Last Trick tour coming up and The Great Impersonator still making waves, Halsey is proving once again that she doesn’t just push boundaries—she obliterates them. Safe word or not, this one’s gonna leave a mark.
#5
Sabrina Gets Even Sweeter
Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet tour just got a little longer—and even sweeter. Answering fan demand, she’s adding a fall leg to her North American run, hitting cities like New York, Nashville, and Toronto before wrapping up with a three-night finale in LA. With her Grammy-winning album still soaring and a European leg kicking off soon, Carpenter is making sure no one misses out on the magic. Tickets drop March 4—so if you missed her the first time, consider this your second (and final) shot at a Short n’ Sweet encore!
