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.

TS12
Taylor Swift’s first-ever appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast was equal parts rom-com origin story, album drop, and sports-culture collision. Between trading meet-cute nostalgia with Travis (who essentially used the podcast as a dating app) and debuting her upcoming record The Life of a Showgirl, Swift proved she can turn even a casual sit-down chat into a full-blown cultural event. The episode blended Eighties teen-movie romance with behind-the-scenes tour hustle, as she revealed she was literally jetting to Sweden between Eras Tour stops to record with Max Martin and Shellback. And while male sports fans might not have had “Taylor Swift takeover” on their fantasy league roster, she cheerfully reminded them that she’s exactly what they’ve been waiting for—whether they knew it or not.

New Kaytra
Kaytranada just proved summer isn’t over until he says so, surprise-dropping his fourth studio album Ain’t No Damn Way!on Aug. 15—a year after Timeless had fans two-stepping worldwide. Billed as “strictly for workouts, dancing and studying and for my people that love beats,” the record delivers pure rhythmic fuel, led by the single “Space Invader.” Fresh off remixing Mariah Carey and producing for Justine Skye and FLO, the Haitian Canadian DJ/producer is once again serving the kind of grooves that make you wonder if sitting still should be illegal.

Sombr Announces Debut Album
After skyrocketing from indie up-and-comer to 51.8 million–monthly-listener sensation, Sombr is capping his breakout year with the debut album I Barely Know Her, dropping Aug. 22 via Warner Records. The 10-track project blends fresh material like “Crushing” and “Dime” with viral staples “We Never Dated” and “Back to Friends,” all threaded together with his sharp, self-aware songwriting. Co-produced with Tony Berg, the record arrives alongside a sold-out North American tour that will stretch across continents into 2026—proving that while Sombr might claim he “barely knows her,” the rest of the world is getting to know him very well, very fast.

Ben Platt Covers “Diet Pepsi”
Ben Platt has officially turned a campy award-show stunt into streaming gold with his orchestral cover of Addison Rae’s “Diet Pepsi,” first performed at the gloriously chaotic 2025 Las Culturistas Culture Awards. What began as a glitter-soaked, cover performance quickly went viral, racking up millions of TikTok views and inspiring Rachel Zegler to dub it perfect for “crying on the go.” Co-produced with Leland and Gabe Lopez, the rendition transforms Rae’s sultry bop into a tear-stained Broadway ballad, proving that in Platt’s hands, even a fizzy pop song can hit like a Tony-worthy gut punch.

This is Real
The Jonas Brothers opened their Greetings From Your Hometown stadium tour with the ultimate Disney Channel time machine, reuniting with Demi Lovato for a triple shot of Camp Rock nostalgia. Joe Jonas teased her arrival with “Gotta Find You,” before Lovato hit the stage for a full-blown 2008 flashback, belting “This Is Me” and “Wouldn’t Change a Thing” like no time had passed since Final Jam. The crowd—split between teary millennials and bewildered younger fans Googling “Which Jonas did Demi date?”—soaked up the history-making moment, which also featured surprise appearances from Jesse McCartney, Switchfoot, and Dean Lewis. For one night, the Mouseketeer magic was alive and screaming at MetLife.
