Here’s how the night broke down:

Reba McEntire kicked off the night with the world premiere performance of “I Can’t.”

Then it was down to business with host Carson Daly announcing the first of the saved artists: Asher HaVon, second to make it through was Maddi Jane, and third was Nathan Chester.

After a break, the results continued to be revealed: Madison Curbelo was moving into the Top 9 as was Josh Sanders.

The results were paused for an entertainment break. John Legend took the stage to celebrate the 25th anniversary of “Ordinary People.” 

The seven remaining artists then returned to the stage for more results. Next to go into the semifinals was Bryan Olesen, followed by Serenity Arce, and the final artist to make it through on America's first vote was Karen Waldrup.

That meant that L. Rodgers, Nadège, Tae Lewis, and Zoe Levert had to sing in the Instant Save.

Up first from Team Reba was L. Rodgers with Elton John’s "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me."

Reba said, “I think it’s enough and more. You are such a great vocalist. You have the power; you have the soul. That was a great performance.”

Next, Nadège demonstrated her sultry vocals with Sade’s “Smooth Operator.”

Chance said, “That was a perfect song choice. It really showed what your strength’s are. You just harmonizing over jazz, it was great.”

The third contestant singing to make the Top 9 was Zoe Levert with “Slow Burn.”

John said, “I loved that song for you. It was so perfect. This might have been my favorite performance of yours. This is so high pressure, so high stress. You picked a song that you were comfortable in and the performance reflected how comfortable you were. It all worked."

The final performance of the night was Tae Lewis with Shenandoah’s “The Church on Cumberland Road.”

Dan Smyers said, “That was like a finale performance right there. We are so proud of how far you have come. You deserve to be here.”

Then the voting was opened for 5 minutes. When all the votes were tabulated, Carson Daly revealed that the final artist into the Top 9 was Team Dan + Shay's Tae Lewis.

The Voice airs Monday night at 8 p.m. ET/PT for performances, Tuesday night at 8 p.m. ET/PT for results on NBC. Streams next day on Peacock.

Recently, Katy Perry declared that Jelly Roll should replace her on American Idol after she wraps up her seventh and final season as a judge. The country crooner caught wind of Perry's praise, and now, he has officially responded.

On May 4, Jelly Roll publicly reacted to Perry name-dropping him as her potential replacement at iHeartRadio's iHeartCountry festival.

"I love you, Katy Perry," he told E! News at the event. "Find you a friend that talks about you like Katy Perry talks about me in the media. Thank you, Katy Perry. I love you to death."

The "Need a Favor" singer also lauded the "Firework" songstress for being authentically herself regardless of the environment.

"She's the same person privately as she is publicly," Jelly Roll added. "Because every time I've seen her, she's like you need to be on American Idol. And the first time somebody asked her it was y'all and she was like ‘Jelly Roll.'"

As of writing, ABC has not announced a replacement for Perry. A few famous names are reportedly in the running, including Jennifer Lopez and Taylor Swift, the Daily Mail reported in February. Meanwhile, American Idol Season 6 winner Jordin Sparks decided to shoot her shot via X, writing, "Oh hiiii@AmericanIdol—I hear a seat opened up at the judges table! I’m putting my name in the hat! "

That same month, fellow American Idol host Lionel Richie appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and shared what he knew about the singing competition vacancy—which wasn't much.

"You know, they are keeping tight-lipped because I don’t even know, but I’m telling you… It’s gonna be really interesting," he said. "Whoever’s coming on the show has got to be, well, to come past Katy, you’ve gotta be humorous forever, and, on top of that, knowledgeable."

As you stroll the aisles of your local Trader Joe’s, it’s easy to be captivated by the latest seasonal cookies, fan-favorite chips or staple seasonings. But if you’re looking to boost your vitamin D intake—a crucial nutrient for bone health, immune function and overall well-being—one particular product stands out. The next time you’re making a TJ's run, add this Vitamin D-rich food to your shopping list: Everything But The Bagel Seasoned Smoked Salmon.

Why Vitamin D Is Important to Health

Vitamin D is important for bone growth, mental health, supporting a strong immune system, regulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and other important body functions. Not getting enough vitamin D can raise our risk for depression, a weakened immune system, fatigue, bone fractures, certain cancers, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. You can prioritize getting vitamin D from various foods like fatty fish, eggs, fortified milk and UV-exposed mushrooms.

The #1 Vitamin D Food at Trader Joe's

Everything But The Bagel Seasoned Smoked Salmon is one of the best natural food sources of vitamin D at Trader Joe’s. According to the FDA, the recommended daily value for vitamin D is 20mcg and just two slices of this smoked salmon provides 5.2 mcg of vitamin D. Chelsea LeBlanc, RDN, owner of Chelsea LeBlanc Nutrition adds, “With just two slices, you're getting 25% of your daily vitamin D, 11 grams of protein and a healthy dose of heart-friendly omega-3s.”

Kate Peterson, RD, registered dietitian at Kate Peterson Nutrition adores this smoked salmon too. She suggests adding a few slices on top of a toasted bagel with cream cheese for an easy breakfast or no prep lunch. Bonus points for piling on veggies like cucumber slices or arugula!

Tips for Getting More Vitamin D

Besides adding the right foods to your shopping cart, here are other ways to make sure you’re getting enough vitamin D.

• Sunlight Exposure: Aim for 10-30 minutes of sunlight several times a week. This can help your body produce enough vitamin D.
• Supplements: If you're not able to meet your needs through diet and sunlight, consider discussing vitamin D supplements with your healthcare provider.

While the bagel smoked salmon may be the star for vitamin D, Trader Joe's shelves are filled with other nutritious snacks. Here are some dietitian-approved favorites.

Cheddar Cheese & Uncured Bacon Egg Bites

Jessica Wilson, MS, RD, Founder of The Helpful Dietitian highlights a fan-favorite that’s convenient and nutritious. She says, “These egg bites get their vitamin D from eggs—specifically the egg yolk—so make sure and grab these bites specifically.”

Strawberry Overnight Oats

These overnight oats are another beloved healthy snack at Trader Joe's. “[They] contain 5 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein that help you feel satisfied,” boasts Jaime Bachtell-Shelbert, RDN of Wholly Nourished. Enjoy them as is or add a spoonful of peanut butter or Greek yogurt to boost the protein even more.

Almonds, Chocolate and Cashews Trek Mix

Craving something sweet? Crystal Orozco, RD and owner of Vida Nutrition Consulting tells us one of her favorite grab-and-go snacks is this trek mix. She says, “It satisfies my sweet tooth, and keeps me full and satiated. This is a great snack to take while hiking or a late-night snack.”

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Almond Bar

According to Chrissy Barth, MS, RDN, RYT, “This individually-wrapped treat offers a well-rounded blend of protein, fats, and chocolate for a balanced boost.”

Trader Joe's Apple Strawberry Fruit Bars

Caitlin Ogletree, MS, RDN, registered dietitian at Candidly Caitlin loves these bars because “the ingredients list is short—just dried fruit—and these make the perfect sweet snack that is rich in vitamins and fiber.” The bars aren’t messy either, making them ideal for kiddos.

Chipotle Vegetable Quesadillas

Of course, you need a few savory snacks in your back pocket. “These frozen snacks are made with black beans, corn, cheese, and each one has 4 grams of fiber and 15 grams of protein. Serve with salsa or guacamole, and now we're talking!” says Liz Weiss, MS, RDN with Liz's Healthy Table.

Next time you’re at Trader Joe’s, be sure to make a beeline for the Everything But The Bagel Seasoned Smoked Salmon, but don’t forget to stock up on these other nourishing options too!

Chevy Chase is a prolific comedian and actor best known for Saturday Night Live before starring in award-winning films like Foul Play (1978), Caddyshack (1980) and the National Lampoon's Vacation movies. However, many in younger generations wouldn't recognize Chase if he were to roll up in a car and introduce himself to them by name.

In a hilarious clip the actor shared via Instagram on Tuesday, May 7, Chase did just that to folks walking on sidewalks.

"Hi, Chevy Chase... how are you?" he said from the back seat of a vehicle after rolling down the window. When no one acknowledged him, he simply added, "Have a good day," as the car continued on the road.

The comedian (and others in the vehicle) laughed each time as passersby continued walking, completely unfazed when he hit them with, "Hi, Chevy Chase!"

During one interaction, however, his greeting was met with enthusiasm.

Hi! How are you?!" one woman replied as the man with whom she was walking enthusiastically exclaimed, "Hey! Chevy Chase, how are you doing?"

Chase, with perfect comedic timing, declared, "I can't talk," and rolled up his window.

View the original article to see embedded media.

Yet another amusing incident occurred when a man driving a different car recognized the comedian and confessed, "You know, for most of my life, you were my favorite person."

Chase laughed and responded, "What happened?" to which the man replied, "Modern problems."

In the comments, Instagram users reacted to Chase's antics and the fact that many people didn't recognize him. "The 'I can't talk' killed me 😂," one person wrote.

Another person commented, "The way nobody peed themselves and freaked out almost made me mad. Lol. I would've diiiiiiiiied.😍❤️"

Meanwhile, yet another Instagram user wrote, "Imagine just walking down the street minding your business and boom… Chevy Chase appears!!! 😂😂😂😂"

Where would the FBI: International team be without Smitty? Eva-Jane Willis joined the CBS drama in Season 2 as the Fly Team's new Europol liaison, the agent often tasked with smoothing things over between the American FBI and various foreign law enforcement agencies. This week, in the episode titled "Touts," Smitty becomes part of the case as the team needs an informant in the IRA after a former IRA member is shot dead in London. She pays a rare visit to her mother in the hopes of locating an old family friend from Belfast, and ends up with more than she bargained for. There's one twist that Willis described as "very surprising," even to her as an actor. It "shakes" Smitty and everything she knows about herself, and sheds a lot of light on her family dynamics and her character in general.

"It was really fun to see Smitty out of her comfort zone, because I've always been able to go for a professional, unbeatable, unbreakable, at times, attitude," Willis told Parade. "When I'm with the Fly Team, I feel strong and every case that we crack, we are rarely affected personally by those cases. Obviously we care about the people very much, but it takes a lot to break us down personally. So this case, being so intrinsically linked to her family and the place where she grew up, gave me an opportunity as an actor to see what happens if Smitty's usual defenses and strengths are not there. We begin to see the vulnerability that she had growing up, rather than the strong woman that she's become."

Of course, Smitty's eventful trip home won't be the only storyline on the mind for most viewers, as we know this episode will also be Luke Kleintank's last as Scott Forrester. The circumstances surrounding Forrester's exit are still a mystery, but Willis did shed a little light on just how stressful the final two episodes of the season will be.

"There will be a two-part finale, which is episodes 12 and 13, so tune in for both of those," she said. "There will be a cliffhanger at the end of 12, which takes us into 13, and I'm assuming you already know that the resolution will mean that Forrester is no longer with [the team] by the end of 13. But I can't say more about how exactly that comes about or how that develops through those episodes, but it's worth tuning in for."

Read on to find out about Smitty's big episode, Kleintank's departure and more. 

How did you react when you found out what this episode would be revealing about your character?

It's delicious to find out about yourself. As actors, we really love backstory, so it's a challenge with this job sometimes. When you arrive on set, you know a certain amount about yourself but you have to bring something else as well as what's written. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough to fill up the character… Reading [this episode] as an actor, what it did was confirm what I suspected in terms of the relationship that she's had with her mother in particular. She hinted in Season 2 that her parents might have wanted her to go to Oxford or Cambridge and that she had some conflict with them growing up because she wanted to go off and do law enforcement and they wanted other things for her. Reading this deepened that for me, and it was quite satisfying to see that the writer, [Wade McIntyre] had given me some nice scenes with my parents that could show the complexity of that kind of passive aggressive subtext you can have with your parents at times, because you know each other so well. I quite enjoyed that.

We've seen Smitty save the day a few times, like when she kept Powell out of trouble a few episodes ago. What's it like when she can't be the one to swoop in?

I'm so glad to hear that you noticed that, because that's true. She does do that often, and you're right. As Europol, she often has a way of bargaining with people in other countries and finding loopholes and things for the team to get us out of trouble. In this situation, she's out of her depth because she can't have a level head in the same way and she can't use her tactical mind as much as she would normally. So that was a challenge for the character, but great for me as an actor to be able to define those new depths for her.

How does this experience affect her relationship with the rest of the team?

I think she works hard to try and do the right thing to maintain professionalism in the face of what is personally very difficult, but there are a couple moments in the episode where she questions what is the right thing to do. I think with all of the members of the team, whenever they have personal crises, ultimately they will turn to each other to find the right answers, and that's what she does.

Do you feel like this bonds Smitty with these American FBI agents more?

I think Season 3 has definitely compacted this sort of family unit that they have. I think in Season 2, she was really finding her feet, feeling like an outsider, trying to prove herself. And Season 3 is much more about the fact that she's got her feet firmly under the table and has made herself integral to the team. She needs them as much as they need her, and I think she'll continue to lean on them as long as they'll have her.

The Fly Team is going straight from this case into whatever is happening with Forrester, so can you talk about moving forward knowing you have to do it without Luke?

I mean, Luke Kleintank is one of those people you meet in life who is so entirely authentic and he only needs to know you for five minutes before he'll take you under his wing and listen to you, give you strength and ask nothing in return. He is an incredible actor to work with. I personally will miss him so much, but I am very glad that him and [wife Christina Vignaud] get to have some time to spend for themselves and for their beautiful family. We will all miss him, but FBI keeps things interesting, and we'll have to see what happens in Season 4.

After 115 years of being called the Boy Scouts of America, or just Boy Scouts, the well-known organization will officially change its name.

The BSA announced the move on May 7, saying in a press release that it was rebranding to be known as Scouting America, with the new name officially going into effect on Feb. 7, 2025, the Boy Scouts' 115th anniversary.

"Though our name will be new, our mission remains unchanged: we are committed to teaching young people to be Prepared. For Life," Roger A. Krone, president and chief executive officer of Scouting America, commented.

"This will be a simple but very important evolution as we seek to ensure that everyone feels welcome in Scouting," he added, likely referencing the organization allowing girls to join in 2019. February of this year marked the fifth anniversary of the change.

The organization claimed it currently includes more than 176,000 girls and young women. Before the admittance of girls was official in 2019, the BSA also changed the name of its flagship program from Boy Scouts to Scouts BSA to be more inclusive. 

"Scouting America provides a welcoming, safe environment where youth can become the best version of themselves by learning from and respecting each other. I encourage everyone to join us and experience the benefits of Scouting," concluded Krone.

The focus on inclusivity and big changes such as this one comes after the organization faced a wave of sexual assault claims, with the topic covered in the much-talked-about 2023 Netflix documentary Scouts Honor: The Secret Files of the Boy Scouts of America. 

While there has been some negative response to the name change to Scouting America on social media, many current and former Scout members—and people not directly involved in the organization—have applauded and celebrated the move.

There's been another cast shakeup in the OneChicago universe. According to Deadline, Chicago Fire original cast member Eamonn Walker will step down as a series regular with the conclusion of the show's current 12th season. 

Related: 'Chicago Fire' Loses Another Firefighter From Firehouse 51

Walker has played Wallace Boden, the strong and respected leader of Firehouse 51, since Chicago Fire began. His character, who's currently up for Deputy Fire Commissioner, is on a brief leave of absence to tend to a personal matter, but will be back for the Season 12 finale, "Never Say Goodbye," airing May 22. Given the episode's logline, which reads in part, "Boden makes a decision that impacts the race for Deputy Commissioner," it's safe to assume Walker's scaled-back role on the series will be established in the finale.  

Deadline further reports that Walker's decision to shift gears was one he made on his own; he won't be killed off of the series and will instead return in a recurring capacity down the line. 

Meantime, Severide (Taylor Kinney) has been in charge of the battalion in Boden's absence. Does Walker's exit mean there's a promotion in store for Severide? That's hard to imagine, considering how off-putting our aspiring arson investigator finds the restrictions that come with the job. But, hey, where there's smoke, there's fire!

"How did I live without it," another shopper asked. "Makes life so much easier and gets my cat to let me sleep in. She was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so I had to start really controlling her feedings and portions rather than just leaving food out. She was a nightmare constantly bugging me for food until I got this and she learned that it is the keeper of the food, not me."

Ian Gelder, the actor who played Kevan Lannister in several episodes of Game of Thrones, has died. He was 74. 

Gelder's passing was confirmed by his longtime husband, Ben Daniels, who shared the devastating news in a social media post on Tuesday, May 7. According to Daniels' post, Gelder died after a brief battle with bile duct cancer. 

"It is with huge huge sadness and a heavy heart broken into a million pieces that I’m leaving this post to announce the passing of my darling husband and life partner Ian Gelder," Daniels wrote on Instagram, alongside a selfie of the pair taken just months before Gelder's death.

A post shared by Ben (@bendanielsss)

"Ian was diagnosed with bile duct cancer in December and yesterday he passed at 13.07 [1:07 ET]. I’d stopped all work to be his carer but neither of us had any idea that it would all be so fast," his grieving husband wrote. "He was my absolute rock and we’d been partners for more than 30 years. If we weren’t together we spoke to each other everyday."

Daniels went on to call his late partner the "kindest, most generous spirited and loving human being." He also called him a "wonderful wonderful actor" and said that "everyone who worked with him was touched by his heart and light." 

Fans will recognize Gelder from HBO's Game of Thrones, in which he appeared as Kevan Lannister for 12 episodes. Aside from that, Gelder had a vast number of TV credits under his belt, including roles in I Thought You'd Gone, The Bill, Torchwood, Doctor Who, EastEnders, Snatch, His Dark Materials, Casualty, Fifteen-Love and many others.  

Rest in peace #IanGelder. A fantastic actor. I was very lucky to meet him and work with him back when we did Twelfth Night in 2021. Really admired his work. Very sad to hear this news and thoughts are with his family. pic.twitter.com/cjZA6za07d

— Sebastian Storey | Actor | (@sebstorey2) May 7, 2024

Most recently, Gelder appeared in an episode of Father Brown, and according to TV Insider, he will appear in Interview With the Vampire Season 2, as well as Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2. 

In his husband's Instagram tribute, Daniels wrote, "I honestly don’t know what I’ll do without him by my side. He coped with his dreadful illness with such bravery, with no self pity. Ever. He was remarkable and will be so missed." 

"Rest well my sweet Chianni. Xxxx," the emotional message concluded.

Millie Bobby Brown paid tribute to her love, Jake Bongiovi, as her fiancé turned 22 on Tuesday, May 7. 

The Damsel actress shared personal photos from the two's time together on Instagram with the adorable message, "the day u were born is my favorite day. i love you ❤️." In the first snap, Brown took on the role of photographer for Bongiovi, snapping a photo of him wearing a cowboy hat while she rocked a red and white checked dress.

In the second photo, the lovey-dovey couple sat in a convertible with Bongiovi driving and Brown in the passenger seat. Someone took a pic of the two as they held hands, with Brown's huge engagement ring shining in the sun on her left hand.

Brown's Florence by Mills Fashion brand commented, "cuteness x 10000000000," in support of the actress' sweet post, while a fan wrote, "u guys r actually the cutest couple out there💗."

"Best couple !!" said another, as a third fan couldn't help but admit, "We getting jealous with this one 🗣🗣🗣🔥."

With the ring on display, fans in the comments wondered when the couple was getting married. The two have remained mum on the timing, and even Bongiovi's father, Jon Bon Jovi, hasn't shared any details about his son's upcoming nuptials.

"It's been really an unbelievable journey. Every time we have a new wedding meeting, Jake and I take a picture to capture the moment of the planning process," Brown told Elle UK about how the wedding plans are going. "I haven't been met with a stressful time yet, and I think that's just a reflection on how ready and excited we are to do it."

Brown and Bongiovi announced their engagement in April 2023, around two years after they started dating.

Netflix is rolling out an all-new mobile game for Virgin River fans, allowing players to live out their small-town fantasies in a "choose your own adventure"-style game that's free to anyone with a Netflix subscription.

As shown in the trailer (yes, there's a trailer), users choose an avatar, then set them forth to visit places from the show, like Jack's bar, with hand-selected outfits, dates and storylines. It's the "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" for Robyn Carr lovers, and if that sounds like an odd pairing to you, you're not alone. 

“Escape to the comfort and beauty of Virgin River to find romance and camaraderie where you least expect it,” the streamer's official description reads. “Stuck in a dead-end job and nursing a broken heart, you know you need to make a change. When fate leads you to Virgin River, what starts as a short trip blossoms into much more. Interact with your favorite characters and make choices that help you discover what’s been missing in your life: community, fulfillment and, ultimately, true love.”

The game, Netflix Stories: Virgin River, will launch May 29 (no in-app purchases necessary). Meantime, the show has yet to announce a Season 6 release date since its fifth season wrapped with a two-part Christmas special in November. What sort of game is that, Netflix?!

With its latest harrowing case, FBI is bringing up some hard memories for Special Agent OA Zidan (Zeeko Zaki). In "No One Left Behind," the team investigates a kidnapping case that quickly gets political as the missing person is a member of the Taliban, and he's been taken hostage by soldiers in the hopes of trading for a POW in Afghanistan. While Maggie (Missy Peregrym) is taking some time off to focus on the young girl she's now guardian of, OA and his own Army Ranger past take center stage. We also get to go home with him and his girlfriend, Gemma (Comfort Clinton), which might be the most shocking development at all. How on earth are those two still together? She does cocaine, he inadvertently got her friend killed when she worked as an informant to take down the mob running the nightclub they liked to go to. It feels like there's no way this relationship is still working, and yet it clearly is. Zaki chalks it up to the fact that maybe Gemma and her dead friend simply "aren't as close as they seem to be." 

"I like to think of it as a true opposites attract relationship," Zaki told Parade of OA and Gemma. "I definitely would have never thought the writers would have given him a relationship with, you know, a girl who does coke, so it's been nice to play it slightly on screen, mostly off screen. It just kinda shows the line in the sand between my personal and professional life. OA hopefully seems to be handling it really well."

Zaki also pointed out that Gemma seems to have been purposely "very far away" from his work partner, Maggie, meaning the two women are never going to be "butting heads."

"It's kind of nice that it feels like a totally different world," he added.

We'll get to see a bit of that world in the episode, which reveals a lot of new information about what OA has been through and how to approach it with the people in his life. "We get to see him struggle with opening up to his girlfriend, and we see all of it coming to a head by the end of the episode where he does become extremely vulnerable with her, and it was extremely fun to play."

Read on for the rest of Parade's interview, in which Zaki shares his feelings on the sensitive topics addressed in this episode and teases a dramatic end to the season.

Can you talk about the line between personal and professional and how that's changing for OA, thanks to Gemma?

Zaki: Well, I think what we've seen with OA is he carries a lot on his own shoulders, and in moments throughout the series, you'll see that there are these breaking points. A few seasons ago, he started going to therapy, and I think what it reinforces is that no one can do this alone, no matter how hard you try. It's nice to see a strong hero like OA have these vulnerable moments, have these dilemmas, and then see him actively seeking the healing of his traumas.

Do you think OA's experience with therapy helped him see that Maggie needed that time off?

I think that's a result of just our overall connection and the ability to see that both of us will do anything for the job and anything for the work, and being able to step in for the other person to give them what they need. It takes a very strong person to be perfectly balanced and to know when to draw the line and when to take care of themselves and when to sacrifice work for self and things like that. Sometimes, you do need someone else to push you over that edge. It shows you can't do this all on your own and no one is strong enough to carry the weight of the world.

Do you think there's a limit to what OA will do for this job, or how much he's willing to give up?

I don't know if there's a limit, but I think you see in this episode that the job or system that OA exists in isn't necessarily always as just and as honorable as he is. So you see this moment in this episode where the villains have kidnapped a terrorist to exchange for a prisoner of war, and there's a very fine line where, on a personal level, I understand doing whatever it takes to save your brother, but I do have to honor the system of rules that are in place. That is kind of what the show is all about. We are tied by the law, and we do have to honor this justice system even though it might not always be just.

What kinds of things does this case bring up for OA?

I think the easiest way to put it is that it just brings up some stuff that he's packed away, very, very deep down. Staring face-to-face with a prisoner of war really reminds him of this trauma, and the ability to be triggered by it and to deal with it immediately takes a lot of courage. Hopefully it plays as a courageous thing that he's doing by facing the darkness head on and communicating it with people and not trying to just pack it away even deeper.

It feels like there's a lot for this episode to deal with, both politically and personally, for OA. How do you feel about how much the episode managed to cover?

I love when we do these episodes that really pack a lot of sensitive subjects into one episode. To me it's like we have a show that, when it's just a case of the week episode, can feel very fun. It can feel like we're just creating an hour of escape. But then there's a few episodes where we try to turn the temperature up a little bit and remind people of the sensitivity and the realities that are going on in the world, and we build the trust with the audience to sit with us and hand over their time. It feels very valuable to be able to take these opportunities to just wake people up to the intensity and the darkness of the realities of war and the realities of our political situation.

When episodes like this come across, I take them very seriously because me running after a bomb or a kidnapped kid, like, everyone can relate to just trying to solve a puzzle. But when it comes to these moments where I'm truly standing on a platform representing prisoners of war and representing soldiers and representing the United States Army and representing the country and then also representing my religion and my faith, that is the glue that holds this whole world together. And if these moments are false and untrue, and if we don't do them and honor them correctly, I think the world can fall apart. So I am appreciative of how everybody really turns it on when we get into these sensitive topics.

What can you tease about the end of the season? What's coming up?

We get back into Jubal's storyline for a minute, and…you really get to see the team come together to honor losing one of their own, and whether it ends in a cliffhanger or not, we definitely get to experience a full circle moment and hopefully we honor it with some good scenes and a good episode.

Are you saying there's a cliffhanger?

There's always the potential for a cliffhanger, but I think we are going to satisfy the audience with this one.

Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.

It takes a lot of bravado to be as over-the-top as T.J. Maxx. While most retailers shy away from the chain’s brand of maxed-out whimsy and ultra-specific style, T.J. Maxx chooses to double down and deliver all the things you didn’t even know you needed. Looking for an orange-shaped chip and dip set? They’ve got it. How about a dish modeled after an adorable aquamarine sea turtle? You bet! If you can dream it, odds are, T.J. Maxx has got it.

Even better than the brand’s limitless imagination, of course, are the wildly low prices on items you’d pay a pretty penny for elsewhere. For instance, this stunning 4-pack set of heavy-based wine glasses will only set you back $29.99 at the maximalist's playground—but a similar 2-pack set from high-end brand Tom Dixon costs a whopping $150! Talk about sticker shock. Thankfully, the chain is known to price shop and negotiate the lowest prices of thousands of designer goods, and they don’t seem to be changing their approach any time soon.

T.J. Maxx

The latest stunning and out-of-the-box offering to make its debut at T.J. Maxx is a beautiful Bead Embellished Salad Fork and Spoon Set by Tiramisu that would look right at home on Queen Charlotte's table as she prepares to host the ton this season. Each piece is made of sturdy stainless steel and features elegant wire wrapping as well as purple and pink gems in various cuts scattered across the handle. Aside from the concentration of jewels and wire detailing, the utensils are decidedly simple and serve their intended purpose of getting salad on your plate, albeit in style.

In terms of care, it’s probably best to hand wash these to ensure the gleaming array of jewels stays intact, and you’ll want to dry them immediately to avoid any possibility of rust. Looks aside, the real kicker here is the cost, and you can snag this set for just $14.99! Of course, if these don’t happen to be your style, you can guarantee T.J. Maxx has something perfectly made to fit your unique taste. Even if it is just a little over-the-top.

The feud between Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun is officially getting the documentary treatment.

Discovery+ announced that the conflict between the singer and businessman, which began when Braun bought the music rights to Swift's first six albums in a $300 million deal in 2019, will be the subject of the new season of vs tentatively called Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood.

According to the season's logline, the show will have two episodes that explore both sides of the feud. One will focus on "Swift’s side that the sale was conducted without consulting her and that she has since been blocked from buying back her masters," while the other will explore "Braun’s allegations that Swift refused to negotiate and instead incited a public feud by pitting her fan base against him."

The show will reportedly feature legal experts, journalists and more, and is set to air on Discovery+ in June. 

As the series is sure to cover, after Braun made the huge purchase of Scott Borchetta's Big Machine Label in 2019, Swift slammed the entrepreneur in an honest post on Tumblr, writing that she only learned about the deal "as it was announced to the world."

She claimed that she endured "incessant, manipulative bullying" from Braun over the years and that "Now Scooter has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy. Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it." 

In the fall of the next year, Braun sold Swift's masters to Shamrock Holdings. He also alleged that he offered to sell the masters to Swift, although the singer claimed that there were unfavorable conditions surrounding the deal. After a time, Swift was allowed to re-record her music, leading to the series of Taylor's Version albums that have gone on to be huge successes.

Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood will join other seasons of vs like Johnny vs Amber, and Kim vs Kanye: The Divorce.
