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.

Inside Lizzo's weight loss journey as she makes Ozempic admission

The singer explained she prefers to call her weight loss journey a process of 'weight release', admitting she tried GLP-1 after shutting down GLP-1 rumours Years of speculating about Lizzo's body have culminated in the star admitting she 'tried everything' to achieve the dramatic weight loss that has dumfounded her fans. The 37-year-old singer told Trisha Paytas' Just Trish podcast that she began to take GLP-1 medication at the outset of her weight loss journey in 2023, after shutting down rumours of her taking the medication. But despite taking it she soon came to the conclusion that it was not a long-term solution. ‌ She said: 'I tried everything. Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full. But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing.' ‌ The Grammy winner explained a long and complicated journey with food - frustrated by a period of veganism that meant she was consuming a lot of 'fake' food. She also clapped back at anyone saying taking GLP-1 medication was 'cheating' saying this was a 'fat phobic' take. 'It's not easy. It's a drug to help somebody with something they're struggling with.I think their way of being fat phobic when you're telling someone they're cheating.' Instead, to achieve her goal, she changed her habits around diet. Lizzo had been following a plant-based diet for many years and she was vegan for three years from 2020 through to 2023. 'What did it for me is, it was not being vegan,' she told Trisha. 'Because when I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats. I was eating a lot of bread, I was eating a lot of rice and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full.' Instead of a healthy diet, Lizzo found that she ended up filling up on thing with little nutritional value whilst 'consuming 3,000-5,000 calories a day.' ‌ She noted that some products branded as healthy can be packed with 'fake sugar' that can leave you still feeling hungry. Lizzo continued: 'So for me, when I started actually eating whole foods and eating like beef, and chicken, and fish. Like, I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of fake things in there that wasn't actually filling me up.' It was revealed in January that Lizzo lost 16 per cent of her body fat and reduced her body mass by 10.5. Despite criticism from nay-sayers who said described her weight loss journey as shunning body-positivity - she says she feels great. ‌ Lizzo explained, 'I feel like I worked really really hard and it was intentional with what I did with my body. So when I get compliments, I go, 'Thanks b***h.' Like I really receive it because I need to receive that. I don't take it any weird way because I tried to do this.' Last year, the singer had shut down allegations that she was taking GLP-1 medications. She shared a short Instagram wearing a colorful, satin robe while her hair was pulled back captioned, 'When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit.' Lizzo then shared a screenshot of a comment from a social media user where they accused her of taking 'Ozempic' or 'coke.'' The troll commented 'did she use Ozempic or did she snort coke.' In response, the Grammy winner wrote, 'whyyyy do u follow me?' followed by four crying face emojis. Lizzo then shared a screenshot of the Instagram user's account which had been set to private. ‌ In January, she announced she had completed her weight loss journey saying 'I did it. Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal! I haven't seen this number since 2014! Let this be a reminder: you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!' Then in April during an episode of the On Purpose With Jay Shetty podcast, Lizzo said she prefers to use the term 'weight release' in place of weight loss. She credited her boyfriend Myke Wright saying, 'My man, he's so funny. He was the one that brought it to my attention at first. Because at first I was like, 'Oh my gosh I lost five pounds' and he was like, 'Where did it go?' ‌ 'I was mad at him, I was like, "Why would he say that?" but he was like, "Where did it go?'I want to be very intentional about the words that come out of my mouth because there's young people who are watching me and they're experiencing what I'm putting into the world. They're applying it to their own experience and their own life just like I did when I was a kid.' She added: 'Be careful with your words because it can affect somebody in ways you don't even me releasing the weight has affected people and I take that seriously. I take that responsibility. And because of that I want to transmute it into something that makes people feel comfortable and less afraid of it.' During an appearance on The Jason Lee Show, Lizzo explained why she hasn't revealed her exact weight loss number. 'If I say the number, I don't think people could do the math. I've just seen a lot of TikToks where it's like, 'Lizzo talks about her 500lbs weight loss!' Why are y'all putting numbers on me? It kind of annoys me.'

Bill Belichick sheds new light on Jordon Hudson romance in leaked emails after disastrous CBS interview

Bill Belichick 's attempts to defend his relationship with Jordon Hudson and his disastrous interview with CBS have been laid bare in emails that emerged Friday. The legendary NFL coach, 73, is preparing for his first season in college football but his tenure has been so far overshadowed by headlines surrounding his romance with Hudson, 24. A string of explosive reports have emerged over recent weeks, in the wake of a humiliating interview with CBS, when Hudson shut down questions about the start of their relationship. The clip went viral and sparked fresh speculation surrounding Hudson's influence over the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach. One clip of her at UNC practice caused a particular headache for the legendary coach and soon reports emerged that she had been banned from the team's facilities. UNC denied that was the case. Now emails obtained by WRAL detail the fallout from the CBS interview. They show that disgruntled fans felt the relationship was turning the school into a 'laughing stock'. In the emails, however, Belichick defended Hudson and their romance. 'Jordon and I have both a personal & professional relationship,' Belichick wrote to Beth Keith, a senior associate vice chancellor in the Office of University Communications. 'This is not a secret... Jordon assists me with my personal media, which is why I asked UNC to forward media requests (E.G. CBS 60 Minutes) to her. 'Jordon has zero involvement in the UNC football program, beyond the degree that my personal media intersects with it.' He also explained why his young girlfriend was at the interview, which was organized to promote his new book: 'The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football.' 'Jordon was present at the CBS interview because David Kass, the Simon & Schuster publicist, was not there,' Belichick claimed. 'I included Jordon in the book acknowledgments because she was a creative contributor to the book, including having the idea for formatting the 4 special pages in the book.' According to WRAL News, however, Hudson intended to sit in on the April 21 interview regardless of whether Kass was there. Belichick defended his girlfriend's interruption and accused CBS of setting up a 'secret' camera to capture her input. 'I met Jordon randomly on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021. That is no secret. Jordon was not dodging the specific question regarding how we met, but rather was preventing the interview from continuing to probe into personal matters,' Belichick wrote. The 73-year-old also claimed, per WRAL, that at the start of the interview Hudson asked where she could sit 'off-camera' but 'secretly, CBS had a camera focused on Jordon where Lead producer Gabe (Gabriel Falcon) instructed her to sit.' He added: 'For approximately 35 uninterrupted minutes, (CBS host Tony Dokoupil) asked questions about the book... then, the questions shifted to other subjects that were not related to the Art of Winning, which we had outlined as off-limits with my book publicist.' WRAL also revealed an email from a disgruntled UNC fan and former student who said they have 'never felt compelled to write a letter to our leadership, until now. I'm writing in response to the actions taken by Bill Belichick and his 24 year old girlfriend.'
