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. SZA teases a new album, Mariah Carey is to perform before Christmas Day football and more — this is what you missed.

9 years ago she sang “I’m a marquise diamond” in “Good for You”, this week she’s rocking that marquise diamond on her ring finger – her left one. Selena Gomez took to Instagram this week to show the rock that Benny Blanco chose to propose with. Captioned, “Forever begins now,”, the couple seems smitten as Benny commented “hey wait… That’s my wife,” underneath the post. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Football and Mariah
Get ready for Christmas Day – if you’re opening gifts or having brunch, make sure it’ll be done in time for Mariah Carey’s performance before the Christmas Day NFL games – you won’t want to miss it. The Chiefs will be playing the Steelers first, followed by the Ravens against the Texans. But before all of the football action, Mariah will set the holiday spirit with “All I Want for Christmas Is You”. This year the singer released Merry Christmas: A 30th Anniversary Edition, of all her famous Christmas songs.
