Will Taylor Swift be the next Super Bowl halftime performer? Here's why fans think so
Did Taylor Swift leave her fans breadcrumbs indicating she will be heading to her third Super Bowl in three years, but this time as the halftime entertainer? It's possible the timing could be right for the singer. In 2022, TMZ reported that sources with direct knowledge said the singer was asked to perform, but "she didn't want to perform until she finished rerecording all of her first six albums." In May, the "Showgirl" announced she had purchased her entire catalog from Shamrock Capital, telling fans all of her music belonged to her. And now fans think there were clues during her recent appearance on the "New Heights" podcast that pointed toward Miss Americana bringing her 12 eras to Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 8. Swift told Jason Kelce that she's "really talking about bread 60% of the time" before diving into the sourdough loaves she bakes and comes up with clever puns for like "Are you bready for it?" or "It's a loaf story, baby just say yeast," connecting her songs to the baked buns. Turns out the mascot of the 49ers is Sourdough Sam and this year the 49ers stadium will host Super Bowl 60. Taylor Swift at Super Bowl 59: Her outfit, her suite mates from Ice Spice to the Kelce fam When Swift explained her football knowledge prior to dating Travis Kelce, she mentioned the entertainment spectacle: "I've known every halftime show from the Super Bowls, but I didn't watch the sports." The singer-songwriter plans for events, album releases and Easter egg clues years in advance. Whether Swift hoped to have her rerecords finished by 2026 or buy back her masters, she wore an Erin Andrews jacket to Super Bowl 58 with the number "60" on the back. Plus, Travis Kelce is about to begin his 13th season in the NFL. The singer's team did not respond immediately to an email requesting comment. Last year, Kendrick Lamar was announced as the halftime entertainer in early September. Follow Bryan West, the USA TODAY Network's Taylor Swift reporter, on Instagram, TikTok and X as @BryanWestTV.

Tristan Rogers, who played super spy Robert Scorpio on 'General Hospital,' has died at 79
Tristan Rogers, who played legacy character Robert Scorpio on ABC's 'General Hospital,' died Friday, less than one month after he made a special appearance on the soap opera. He was 79. 'The entire 'General Hospital' family is heartbroken to hear of Tristan Rogers' passing,' said Frank Valentini, the show's executive producer, in a statement. 'Tristan has captivated our fans for 45 years and Port Charles will not be the same without him (or Robert Scorpio).' Born in Melbourne, Australia, Rogers' first foray into performing was in his early twenties and playing drums in a rock band with a group of friends. They weren't successful so Rogers turned to commercial work and modeling to earn some money. When the band dissolved, Rogers decided to give acting a try. After various roles in Australia, he also worked as a DJ and eventually moved to Los Angeles to try to break into Hollywood. He said casting directors were initially turned off by his accent but he eventually landed a two-day role on 'General Hospital' in 1980. 'I had no idea at the point how big the show was,' Rogers told fellow 'General Hospital' actor Maurice Benard on the YouTube show, 'State of Mind with Maurice Benard' in 2022. 'I had no name. I was brought in expressly to beat up the hero, Luke, (played by Anthony Geary), and then disappear,' Rogers said. His first day was half-over when then-executive producer Gloria Monty asked if he would like to stay on. They had no character written for him so for three weeks Monty asked him to just appear in scenes 'looking furtive, looking suspicious' until they came up with a storyline. It was decided he would play a spy known as 'CK8' and eventually he was given the name Robert Scorpio. The character would remain a fixture in Port Charles for the rest of Rogers' life, even when he wasn't a current cast member. Scorpio's on again/off again romance with Emma Samms' character, Holly Sutton, remained a favorite among fans. Scorpio also had a romance, and many storylines with another spy, Anna Devane, played by Finola Hughes. Scorpio and Devane shared a daughter, Robin, played by Kimberly McCullough. Samms returned to the show for a stint last fall where it was revealed that Scorpio was the father of her adult daughter, Sasha Gilmore (played by Sofia Mattson.) Rogers and Samms left the show together in November 2024 in scenes taped with a nod to 'Casablanca.' He returned to the show in July for one episode when Sasha arrived to his home in France with her new baby. It was then revealed that Rogers had lung cancer Rogers' other acting credits include 'The Bold and the Beautiful,' 'The Young & the Restless' and 'Studio City,' which won him outstanding supporting actor in a digital drama series at the Daytime Emmy Awards. He is survived by his wife, Teresa Parkerson, and a daughter and a son.

Minnesota Vikings Defends 2 Male Cheerleaders From NFL Fan Backlash
Originally appeared on E! Online The Minnesota Vikings are tackling some online criticism. Five days after the NFL team's cheer squad announced the addition of two male cheerleaders, Blaize Shiek and Louie Conn, the organization addressed an uproar from haters who didn't necessarily agree with the pair's addition. "While many fans may be seeing male cheerleaders for the first time at Vikings games,' the football team said in a statement to NBC News Aug. 14, 'male cheerleaders have been part of previous Vikings teams and have long been associated with collegiate and professional cheerleading." The team added, 'We support all of our cheerleaders and are proud of the role they play as ambassadors of the organization.' In response to claims that spectators would be canceling their season tickets due to the male cheerleaders, the Vikings told NBC News that no fans have done so. The Minnesota Vikings showcased the upcoming 2025 season's new cheer squad on Aug. 9 with an Instagram video that prominently featured Conn in the beginning. The caption read, 'The next generation of cheer has arrived!' More from E!

While many fans shared their support with positive messages, others responded negatively, like one user who wrote, 'I'm not a Viking fan no more.' Another commented, 'I just lost all of my respect for the Vikings.' On X (formerly Twitter), former NFL star Antonio Brown responded to the video by calling Conn a homophobic slur. Amid the backlash, two-time Super Bowl champ Torrey Smith chimed in with his support of squads featuring male cheerleaders. 'I started a youth football program in West Baltimore a few months ago,' the NFL alum wrote on X Aug. 13. 'We added cheer and I was asked if I would have a problem with a boy cheering. If he wants to cheer, let him cheer.' Smith added, 'Zero Bullying will be allowed!'
