Popeyes and Don Julio announce ‘tequila-infused' chicken sandwich for Super Bowl 2025
Popeyes and Don Julio have come together to celebrate the upcoming Super Bowl with some new menu items.
As this year's big game is taking place in New Orleans at the Caesars Superdome, the fast-food chicken restaurant will be coming out with limited-edition menu items meant to combine the Louisiana cooking style with 'the bold flavors of Tequila Don Julio Reposado.'
According to a press release, customers aged 21 or older will be able to purchase the Concha Chicken sandwich, featuring a chicken breast marinated in reposado tequila, fried in a crunchy buttermilk breading, and topped with a tequila lime slaw.
Other menu items include Louisiana Garlic 3-piece wings, which are also flavored with reposado tequila, and a Spicy Strawberry Hibiscus lemonade mocktail.
These items will only be available in select Popeyes locations within six different cities on January 31: New York City, Miami, New Orleans, and the hometowns of the two Super Bowl teams — Philadelphia and Kansas City.
After January 31, the menu items will solely be available at Popeyes' flagship store in New Orleans until the end of Super Bowl Sunday on February 9.
For those unable to try the collaboration in person, the two companies have offered coupons. Popeyes is offering a buy-one-get-one chicken sandwich offer when ordering through UberEats and Don Julio will be offering $5 off to redeem on their website.
The coupons will be available from January 29 through February 9.
This year's Super Bowl will witness a rematch between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs, who previously faced off in the 2023 Super Bowl where the Chiefs emerged victorious.
Kickoff is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. ET.
It's been announced that Grammy-winning singer and New Orleans native Jon Batiste will be performing the national anthem ahead of the game, while Lauren Daigle and Trombone Shorty will perform 'America the Beautiful.'
This year's halftime show will be headlined by Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar, who will be joined by his longtime collaborator, R&B star SZA.
Lamar, 37, was announced as the halftime performer in September by Jay-Z, whose company Roc Nation works with the NFL to select the halftime show performer.
'Kendrick Lamar is truly a once-in-a-generation artist and performer,' Jay-Z said in a statement at the time. 'His deep love for hip-hop and culture informs his artistic vision. He has an unparalleled ability to define and influence culture globally. Kendrick's work transcends music, and his impact will be felt for years to come.'
It's not yet known if Lamar plans on bringing out any other guest performers.
Fox is broadcasting the game this year, but for those who no longer have cable, Tubi will also be live-streaming it for free.

What Taylor Swift really paid for her masters, revealed
The post What Taylor Swift really paid for her masters, revealed appeared first on ClutchPoints. Taylor Swift is finally in control of her music after a tumultuous fight to gain the masters of her first six albums. Swift announced that she was able to buy her masters after Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings bought the record label which originally owned her albums, and sold them to Shamrock Capital in November 2020. The Grammy-winning singer was finally able to buy back her masters, but it did not come at a cheap price. According to Billboard, Swift bought back her masters for a whopping $360 million. Previous reports indicated that Swift paid $1 billion to own her music. It was also debunked that Braun was the reason behind the Shamrock sale. 'Contrary to a previous false report, there was no outside party who 'encouraged' this sale. All rightful credit for this opportunity should go to the partners at Shamrock Capital and Taylor's Nashville-based management team only,' the source told PEOPLE. 'Taylor now owns all of her music, and this moment finally happened in spite of Scooter Braun, not because of him.' In a handwritten note posted to her official website, Swift gave insight to her fans on the journey she went through in order to obtain her masters. 'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and prayed away for a chance to get to tell you this news. All the times I was thisssss close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through. I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that's all in the past now. I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made… now belongs to me.' By buying her masters, she was able to gain ownership of albums: Taylor Swift, 1989, Reputation, Red, Speak Now, and Fearless. She added: 'To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty casual about it. To my fans, you know how important this has been to me—so much so that I meticulously re-recorded and released four albums, calling them Taylor's Versions. The passionate support you showed those albums and the success you found giving The Eras Tour into why I was able to buy back my music. I can't thank you enough for helping to reunite me with this art that I have dedicated my life to, but never owned until now. All I've ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to one day purchase my music outright.' In addition to her handwritten message she also posted a picture of herself surrounded by the six albums. 'You belong with me,' she wrote in the caption before instructing fans to head to her website for the handwritten letter. In the note she also gave fans an update on the 'Taylor's Version' of her re-recorded albums. Before she bought back her masters, she was was re-recording the albums and added additional songs onto the project. She told fans that have been anticipating Reputation (Taylor's Version) that that album as well as her self-titled re-recording will 'have their moment to re-emerge when the time is right, if that is something you guys would be excited about.' 'But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have. It will just be a celebration now.'

Taylor Swift's sweet mention of Travis Kelce at children's hospital visit
The post Taylor Swift's sweet mention of Travis Kelce at children's hospital visit appeared first on ClutchPoints. Taylor Swift recently surprised patients and staff members at a Florida children's hospital and fans couldn't help but notice the sweet nod to Travis Kelce. 'My boyfriend is training here, so I just thought I'd come and see how you're doing,' Swift told a patient during her visit to the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, Florida. Swift is reportedly staying with Kelce in his $20 million rental while he trains for the upcoming 2025-2026 NFL season. The singer began trending on Friday, June 13, when she visited the hospital and spoke to patients, nurses, and other healthcare workers at the facility. Some staff members even posted photos with the 14-time Grammy-winning artist and thanked her for taking time out of her day to visit. 'Chief of Surgery meets Chief of the World! Undeniably one of the kindest human beings I have ever had the privilege of meeting. Thank you #taylorswift for making dreams come true for all of our patients, families, and staff today!' Chief of Surgery, Jill Whitehouse, captioned the photo. This is not the first time that Swift has visited a hospital as she did previously back in December when she went to the Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. The couple has been maintaining a low profile since the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl loss against the Philadelphia Eagles but according to insiders, the two have been enjoying Florida in the past few weeks. 'Florida has been the perfect escape for them,' a source told Us Weekly. A second source said, 'Taylor has been coming and going to Florida and is still spending a lot of her time in NYC,' as she was seen out back in April celebrating her friend Gigi Hadid's 30th birthday. Prior to her surprise hospital visit, Swift made headlines after a years-long battle to regain ownership of the master recordings from her first six albums. Shamrock Capital which previously owned the singer's masters to her debut self-titled album, 1989, Reputation, Red, Speak Now, and Fearless sold the masters to Swift for reportedly $360 million. 'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and prayed away for a chance to get to tell you this news,' Swift wrote on her official website. 'All the times I was thisssss close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through. I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that's all in the past now. I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made… now belongs to me.' In addition too sharing her feelings surrounding the victory, she also gave fans an update on when or if she would be releasing her highly anticipated Reputation (Taylor's Version). She revealed that she hadn't finished the recording process for the album. 'But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have,' she added. 'It will just be a celebration now.' Related: Human remains found near Taylor Swift home have been identified Related: Stefon Diggs shares new skill he wants to learn for Cardi B

9 Best Moments From Dua Lipa's Crowning Moment at London's Wembley Stadium
When Dua Lipa's electrifying Glastonbury Festival headline performance lit up the iconic Pyramid Stage last year, it was undeniable that the British-Albanian pop star's ascent had not finished. More from Billboard Dua Lipa Brings Surprise Guest Charli XCX to the Stage for '360' in London Morgan Wallen Walks Out With NFL Legend Andre Johnson & 'Mattress Mack' at Houston Tour Launch: Watch Watch Benson Boone Embrace His Haters in Joke-Filled 'Mr. Electric Blue' Music Video With a newly crowned No. 1 album in the Kevin Parker-produced Radical Optimism — which earned her the achievement of biggest opening week by a British female artist since Adele's 30 in 2021 — and charting singles 'Houdini,' 'Training Season' and 'Illusion,' the three-time Grammy winner proved herself capable of commanding one of music's most important stages while demonstrating that no dream was too big for her to manifest — the positive (and clearly effective) manifestation method she credits for getting her there in the first place. Yet before the tents had even been dismantled on Somerset's Worthy Farm, she was already plotting her bold next move which would take the Radical Optimism tour to bigger and better stages around the world. 'There came a point in the year where I was thinking, 'I've got to sit down and write some new dreams and new plans,'' she told Billboard U.K. last year. 'I feel like I ticked so many of my boxes this year.' Still 'flying high' from Glastonbury, she announced a show at London's 90,000-capacity Wembley Stadium, which sold out in a matter of minutes. Huge demand led to a second night, which swiftly followed suit. Kicking off her U.K. and Ireland run during the hottest week of the year, the final days of June will also see Lipa play stadiums in Liverpool and Dublin before she embarks on a U.S. arena run in the autumn. Here are the nine best moments from Dua Lipa's show at Wembley Stadium on Friday (June 20). With more than enough hits to her name to guarantee an explosive opener, punchy Radical Optimism single 'Training Season' was given the honor of kicking off proceedings as the singer's shimmering arrival on stage and impassioned vocals — quite literally — sent sparks flying through the air. Sparkling pyrotechnics erupted every few seconds throughout the dynamic track, including one particularly thrilling moment after the bridge where fireworks shot up perfectly in beat with the song. 'Wembley! You guys ready for a party?' Lipa asked cheekily before introducing the song that never fails to lead a thoroughly British sing-along. After becoming an unofficial football anthem for impassioned Liverpool football fans, it felt especially fitting to hear the pop star's most chantable lyrics reverberate in the 90,000-strong Wembley crowd, as voices of all ages and octaves hollered the infectious tune back at her while pumping their arms in frenzied unison. When you have a back catalog as hook-filled as this, it's easy to fill a finely tuned set with all the hits and best bits. Tracks like 'Levitating,' 'Electricity,' 'Houdini' and 'New Rules' were just some of the highlights that punctuated two hours of uninterrupted summer disco magic, as Lipa's decade of pop smashes ensured there was barely a moment to recover between tracks, earning the undivided attention of one of the biggest crowds of her career with total ease. If the sheer disbelief in the singer's dewey eyes didn't already say it all, Lipa carved out an intentional pause early in the set to tell the crowd how she'd waited 'my whole life' for this moment. 'It's so surreal, it's so crazy,' she continued as she scanned the vastness of the gargantuan crowd gazing back at her. Reflecting on her first London show a decade ago to just 350 people, the gravity of the milestone clearly powered her energy levels down to the final seconds of the performance. When your fans have queued for hours to secure a front-row spot in a stadium during a heatwave, it's only right you take a moment to say hello. Pausing her tightly choreographed spectacle just 30 minutes in to get up close and personal with barrier-clutching concertgoers, Lipa nattered away, signed autographs and took selfies with fans who squealed down the microphone in excitement — or could barely find any words at all — some of whom had traveled from as far as Portugal to be there. There were quiet hopes that Dua Lipa would mark the occasion of her first Wembley show with a special guest or two. Instead of introducing one of her many former collaborators, she invited someone who 'really inspired me from the moment that I started making music' and has 'been a trailblazer for British music'. Moments later, Jamiroquai's Jay Kay strutted onto the stage in a white fringed jacket and luminous purple trousers to perform his 1996 acid jazz classic 'Virtual Insanity', as their loose and limber vocals gelled instantly. If her Glastonbury performance didn't already prove that choreography is fast becoming one of the star's strong suits, night one at Wembley showed that Lipa's dance moves are very much a key part of her pop star package. Whether she was following her own groove or locking into her backup dancers' high-energy routines, there was no doubt that her disco-pop songs are increasingly taking on their own shapes. Armed with sequin-filled wardrobe changes, confetti cannons, multi-colored streamers, perfectly-timed pyro and even a retro dance-along workout to 'Physical', this was a dance party from start to finish. With a ship run as tightly as this one, spontaneous moments during the concert felt all the more special. 'Happy For You', a low-key gem from Radical Optimism, found Dua Lipa at her vocal best and truly in a flow state. Standing centered atop a raised stage as she stripped away all the frills, the crowd instinctively lit up the stands with their phones at just the right moment as the dusky sky slipped into the night. Milestones like this invite moments of reflection, and there was no better song to represent a full circle journey than Lipa's 2015 hit 'Be the One,' which remains a setlist staple and one of her biggest songs to date. Channeling the ambition of that 20-year-old singer with big pop dreams, her solo moment on a smaller stage situated in the crowd was symbolic and powerful as she led her usual call and response. 'Now that's what a stadium sounds like!'
