TeaTalk: Kdot touchdown

1. 🎤 Kendrick Lamar is completing his banner year at the top of culture by booking the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show. What to expect: the Pop Out, but broadcast to the world.

2. 🎸 Stagecoach announced the lineup for its upcoming festival, which includes Zach Bryan, Jelly Roll, Lana Del Rey, Luke Combs, Shaboozey, and Sturgill Simpson. I’m going to need a horse to get to all of these stages.

3. 📱 Apple debuted the iPhone 16 at its “Glowtime” event this week. It’ll be the fist iPhone to include its AI system, Apple Intelligence, on it. Count me ready for an upgrade.

4. ✅ TikTok is giving users the ability to manage what kinds of videos they want to pop up in their For You page. Just make sure to set it to “All Josh, all the time” (not a real option).

5. 😀 Fans of the Atlanta Falcons can now pay for concessions using their face at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. All you have to do is take a selfie on a dedicated app before the game.

NFL Week 1 was already a doozy of headlines, promising players, and exciting stories. Here’s the best of what happened this week.

• Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams takes the title of breakout player of the week, helping the Lions clinch an overtime victory against the Los Angeles Rams.

• The Green Bay Packers’ star QB, Jordan Love, is out with a knee injury right out the gate… but he’ll likely be back. In the meantime, newly-acquired Malik Willis gets the starring role.

• Tom Brady made his commentating debut on Fox Sports during the Cowboys vs. Browns game. Reactions were… mixed. Let’s chalk it up to he’s still getting warmed up.

• Of course, Taylor Swift showing up to cheer on boyfriend Travis Kelce at the Chiefs vs. Ravens game, which the league is already milking for all the media it can get. Smart.

If you want a full rundown of the games, we got you covered there too.
