A Nashville resident has delighted internet viewers by revealing the adorable four-legged "tourist trap" she recently discovered.
Caroline Clark was headed to her favorite wine bar in Nashville, Tennessee, when she spotted a colorful signpost reading "BEANZ" outside someone's yard. Indeed, there wasn't just one sign either, as there were multiple frames dotted along the fence.
Clark told Newsweek that she initially thought they were "growing beans in their garden" as it was all so pretty and serene. But then she noticed the actual tourist attraction that all the signposts were really for, and she couldn't get enough.
Indeed, it wasn't beans they were growing in their yard, but rather, an adorable golden retriever named Beanz. The colorful frames allow him to poke his head through the fence and receive all the fuss and attention from passersby.

"They had a lot of really lovely landscaping, and as I was admiring that, Beanz popped out of nowhere, and it all came together that his owners were giving him the opportunity to be social," Clark said.
Despite already running late for her plans at Butterlamp, a bread and wine bar, Clark said she couldn't resist staying with Beanz for several minutes. She happily stayed there chatting and petting the golden retriever, who certainly made her date night even more memorable.
Clark captured a video of her "fave tourist trap" in Nashville and shared it on TikTok (@themotleycaro). Needless to say, internet users are obsessed with Beanz, and the clip has gone viral with over 272,000 views and more than 52,000 likes on TikTok at the time of writing.
"He's an angel, and, since posting, so many neighbors have shared how much they love Beanz too and walk by just to say hi," Clark continued.
There is no doubt that the golden retriever loves all the attention he gets as well; Clark said she could tell how much of a "social love bug" he truly is.
From now on, every time she returns to Butterlamp, Clark will absolutely be on the lookout for Beanz.
She said: "Everyone is obsessed. Some are locals who are hoping to find him, and others are considering finding him when they travel into town. Hopefully, his newfound fame will bring him many more joyful interactions."
With over 215 comments on the viral TikTok video, internet users have praised this adorable idea, and many are desperate to visit the newest tourist hotspot in town.
One comment on the post reads: "wait I'll be in Nashville next weekend, where do I find Beanz!"
Another TikTok user wrote: "This is a tourist trap I can get behind!"
A third person posted: "Where is this golden opportunity?"
One comment added: "Now, for this, I'd wait in line for hours."

Vince McMahon Upset With WWE Over Hulk Hogan Incident
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In his first public interview in years, former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon appeared in a new documentary to pay tribute to the late Hulk Hogan. He used the platform to sharply criticize his former company for how they produced Hogan's final television appearance. The full comments aired in the new Fox special, "TMZ Presents: The Real Hulk Hogan," which premiered on Tuesday night. McMahon, who has been out of the public eye since his own controversial exit from WWE, did not hold back his frustration. "That's Not The Way I Would Have Done It" The documentary clarified that Vince McMahon's anger over Hulk Hogan being booed at the January 6th Raw Netflix premiere was directed at WWE's production of the segment. He felt the presentation was lackluster and did not give Hogan the special treatment he deserved. "Setting up, so to speak, this larger-than-life superhero, you don't just let him walk out there," McMahon said (H/T to CageSide Seats). "He deserved something very, very special. More than anyone, they owe him... I got angry because that's not the way I would have done it and he deserved much more." The Architect of Hulkamania Vince McMahon's comments come from a deeply personal place, as he was the promoter and creative mind most responsible for the creation of the Hulkamania phenomenon in the 1980s. It was McMahon's vision that turned the charismatic Terry Bollea into the red-and-yellow-clad superhero who became the face of wrestling for a generation. Sylvester Stallone, Hulk Hogan, inductee, and Vince McMahon Sylvester Stallone, Hulk Hogan, inductee, and Vince McMahon More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match For decades, McMahon was famous for his hands-on creative style and his fierce protection of his top stars. His critique can be seen as the creator of a legendary character feeling that the new leadership mishandled his masterpiece. A Fallen Titan On A Fallen Titan This interview was Vince McMahon's first since he was forced to resign from WWE and its parent company, TKO, in January 2024. McMahon's final comment in the documentary served as a final tribute to his friend and greatest creation. He referenced Hogan's famous catchphrase, stating, "One thing he said in character, which is 'Hulkamania will live forever.' Indeed, it is." More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

Amtrak President Roger Harris, in a news release quoted by CTNewsJunkie on Aug. 12, 2025: "NextGen Acela is more than a new train—it's an evolution of travel. In just a few weeks, history will be made with the debut of NextGen Acela as we launch a new standard for American train travel."

Taylor Swift Interview Goes Viral After New Album Announcement
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A resurfaced Taylor Swift interview has gone viral online following the pop star's new album announcement. The singer appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in November 2021 and spoke out about the subtle hints she drops to tease an upcoming project. Newsweek reached out to Fallon's representative via email for comment on Wednesday. Why It Matters Swift is the world's richest female musician, per Forbes, with a net worth of $1.6 billion. The 35-year-old wrapped her record-breaking Eras Tour in December, which was the highest-grossing concert tour in history. On Tuesday, Swift announced her highly anticipated 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, in a teaser for boyfriend Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce. Taylor Swift performs during the Eras Tour at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on May 29, 2024 in Madrid, Spain.

Xavi Torrent/TAS24/Getty Images for TAS Rights Management What To Know On August 12, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon shared a segment of Swift's 2021 interview on their official Instagram and TikTok accounts. In the clip, she tells host Jimmy Fallon that she has "fun" teasing her fans, affectionately known as Swifties. "I started to realize that it wasn't just me that had fun with this, that they had fun with it too, and I should never have learned that because then I couldn't stop," Swift said. "And then all I started thinking was, 'How do I hint at things?' Like, 'How far is too far in advance? Can I hint at something three years in advance? Can I even plan things out that far? I think I'm going to try to do it!'" Swift added: "The first time we did a crazy video like that was a video called 'Look What You Made Me Do,' and I started playing with doing nods to former musical eras I've been in in my career and all kinds of weird stuff for them to just go through the video and be like, 'That over there! What's that? What's that? What's that? Does this connect to that? What does that mean?'" "I do that!" Fallon said, to which she replied, "Really?" "Yes! I did that with Folklore," he shared. "I think that it is perfectly reasonable for people to be normal music fans and to have a normal relationship to music, but if you want to go down a rabbit hole with us, come along," Swift said. "The water's great, jump in. We're all mad here." At the time of publication, The Tonight Show's Instagram post racked up 3.1 million views and 167,000 likes. On TikTok, it had an additional 1.5 million views and 212,600 likes. The "Cruel Summer" artist is known for plotting Easter eggs, or hidden messages, in her music videos, lyrics, clothing and more. For The Life of a Showgirl, fans pointed out many of these Easter eggs online. On August 12, 2024, exactly one year before Swift's album announcement, she was photographed in an orange and mint green miniskirt and cropped jacket—which matches the color palette of the album, X user @CourtneySong_ shared on the social media platform. In October, the 14-time Grammy Award winner posted a video to her Instagram and TikTok standing in front of section A12 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. X user @corneliastagain called her "diabolical" for the move, which seemingly hinted at the August 12th announcement for her 12th studio album. As Swiftie @lexs_version said: "TS12 was basically slapping us in the face, [and] we had no idea." What People Are Saying In the comments underneath The Tonight Show's Instagram post, fans praised Swift's creativity. @sashatheunicornmom wrote in a note with 5,525 likes: "Love her or hate her she's a creative genius. And not just in her music or lyrics, but in her marketing, her life, her persona, her financials, her future and planning - she really is a brilliant mind." @allanpachino said in a message with 2,171 likes: "She's as big as she is for a reason. A good reason. Great artist." @oddly_audrey_1 shared in a reply with 1,570 likes: "Taylor is truly a mastermind." @ added in a remark with 770 likes: "I think she's a d*** genius. To have that kind of smarts." @n.t.9193 posted in a comment with 164 likes: "She is so amazing to make this fun for her fans, like playing a clue game finding out about her new albums!"
