I made the Taylor Swift-inspired Funfetti Sourdough Bread (Pillsbury’s Version)
No one drives pop culture in the 2020s like Taylor Swift. It doesn’t matter if you love her or hate her, Swift’s songs, announcements and even random musings send her fans, social media and even brands into action.
When the singer revealed The Life of a Showgirl, her next album, on Aug. 13, pretty much every brand on social media sprang into action trying to capitalize on the announcement. And when Swift and Travis Kelce broke the news of their engagement, those social media managers had to once again find a way to connect their products to Swift and Kelce.
It took Pillsbury just over a month to take Swift mentioning that she had dabbled in making sourdough bread with Funfetti sprinkles during an episode of New Heights, the podcast hosted by her fiancé and his brother, Jason Kelce, to making an official Funfetti Sourdough Bread Mix available to purchase.
Josh Allen is a man of many talents. He can throw touchdowns. He can run for touchdowns. (He even once threw a touchdown to himself.) He’s the reigning NFL MVP. He carries the weight of Western New York and Buffalo Bills fans around the country and the world on his shoulders, offering the promise that one day we will finally know what it’s like to be Super Bowl champions.
And, it turns out, Josh Allen dabbles in sauces.
The Buffalo Bills quarterback expanded his partnership with Snickers this season with Snickers Sauces.
Excellent ... ‘The Simpsons Movie’ sequel is finally happening
If you weren’t paying attention to this kind of thing back in 2007, The Simpsons Movie was a big deal. The long-running animated series (even back then, it had been around for a long time) making the jump to the big screen was something that Simpsons fans had been waiting for. The Simpsons Movie opened with a $74 million weekend in North America on the way to grossing more than $527 million worldwide.
20th Century Studios announced this week that The Simpsons Movie 2 will open on July 23, 2027 — two days shy of the twentieth anniversary of its predecessor’s July 21, 2007, release date.
