Waymo's robotaxis add better beats to the backseat
The partnership, unveiled this week with the help of American rapper Saweetie, is sure to be warmly welcomed by Spotify users who ride Waymo robotaxis in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, where the feature is currently available.
.@Saweetie says #boffum, and we think so, too. 🎶💖 @Spotify is now integrated with the Waymo app. Connect your accounts and vibe today. Learn more: https://t.co/OkhIEe8CP7 pic.twitter.com/q2ESM6oLkl — Waymo (@Waymo) August 12, 2025
The new option means passengers can now easily link their Spotify accounts to listen to their favorite music or podcasts during rides, making the backseat experience more enjoyable and relaxing.

For the one-time setup, all you do is open the Waymo app (make sure you have the latest version) on your phone, go to Account, and select Music. Next, tap on Spotify to connect, and you'll be prompted to log in to your Spotify account. Finally, follow the on-screen instructions to allow your Waymo and Spotify accounts to connect.
Now, when you take your next Waymo ride, tap Spotify from the menu that slides out from the right on the in-car display. Scan the QR code, follow the steps on your phone, and simply select what you want to listen to.
A nice touch is that you can use an equalizer to fine-tune the sound coming through the robotaxi's speakers. To find it, open the Waymo app and go to Account, then Music and Adjust audio settings. You can also access the equalizer through the Settings icon at the bottom right of the 'now playing' screen.
Your Spotify account will remain connected for future Waymo rides, though should you ever want to disconnect it, you can do so in a few taps via Settings in your Waymo account. Be assured, too, that your music selection will automatically stop playing at the end of your trip, with the system resetting for the next rider.
For now, users of other popular music streaming services such as Apple Music and Amazon Music will have to continue with Waymo's limited in‑car audio options, or rely on a clunky workaround — via Google Assistant or casting through multiple apps — to access additional music content. If that sounds like a lot of messing around, then just stick your earphones in.

Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl Alleged Leaked Track List Includes a Feature With an Eras Tour Opener
TS12 is finally here! Swifties have been snooping around for clues on Taylor Swift's upcoming release The Life of a Showgirl, and they might have just found the tracklist. Taylor Swift announced her new album The Life of a Showgirl on August 12, at 12:12 a.m. The 'Lover' artist is also set for an appearance on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast New Heights, to reveal the album cover. 'So I wanted to show you something,' she said in a trailer with Travis' brother Jason screaming and Travis exclaiming 'TS12!' More from StyleCaster Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl Will Allegedly Address Her Beef With Donald Trump & Blake Lively Here's How Taylor Swift Really Feels About Matty Healy's Mom Saying She's 'Glad' to Not Be Her Mother-in-LawThe singer also teased a Spotify playlist via several billboards that had the same color scheme of the album. The playlist is titled 'And, baby, that's show business for you,' which many Swifties think is lyrics from her album. The playlist contains songs that were produced by pop producer legend Max Martin, who has collaborated with Swift on a number of her songs, like 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,' 'Bad Blood,' and 'Shake It Off.' He also had a hand in her transition from country to pop, so it's safe to say that he might be a big influence on this album. But what are the tracks on the album? What's in Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl track list? Below is the alleged tracklist that several internet users leaked. It contains 12 tracks, which makes sense with all the number 12 motifs. The Fate of Ophelia Elizabeth Taylor Opalite Father Figure Oldest Daughter Ruin The Friendship Actually Romantic Wish List Wood Cancelled! Honey The Life of a Showgirl featuring Sabrina Carpenter The tracklist stems from an image that looks like the inner vinyl cover of the album. However, take this with a grain of salt since it could be AI. What may be a damning piece of evidence that the tracklist could be real is that Taylor's official accounts posted a photo carousel of the Eras tour. While most of the photos shown were of Taylor wearing the color orange, the last photo of the carousel is Taylor singing a duet with Sabrina Carpenter. While it might just be an Eras photo, people have been speculating that a collab between the two artists was on its way. Swifities also pieced together that Sabrina might have a hand in the album after she posted on X, 'Go put on some clothes!' which is the same phrase Taylor used when she called Sabrina to perform with her at The Eras Tour. When is Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl going to be released? The Life of a Showgirl's release date hasn't been announced yet. However, pre-orders for the album say that the album will be shipped out on October 13. A disclaimer from the shopping site does say 'This is not the release date, official release date to be announced,' but we can infer that the album will be coming out around that time.

‘Broke' Priscilla Presley Accused of ‘Burning Through' Millions With ‘Lavish Lifestyle' in New Lawsuit
Priscilla Presley has been slammed with a $50 million lawsuit accusing her of fraud, overspending, 'flaunting' a false 'persona' to garner public favor and even pulling the plug on her own daughter against her wishes. On Wednesday, August 13, Priscilla's ex business associates, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, submitted a court filing that claimed she did 'anything she could to control her image.' '[She] ultimately wanted one thing, power, no matter the cost,' the lawsuit — obtained by the National Enquirer — reads. 'Despite her doting public persona, Priscilla had an obsession with being known, like Elvis [Presley],' the legal filing continues. 'She led a lavish lifestyle, ultimately burning through the $6.5 million she was able to extricate from the estate, despite Elvis' wishes in their divorce that she not use his name.' While Priscilla, 80, allegedly continued to live her 'fast-paced glamorous life,' she reportedly 'owed $700,00 to the IRS and was broke' by 2021. In 2022, Kruse and Fialko's lawsuit alleged that they both 'worked feverishly to maximize the value of Priscilla's name' to the detriment of their own businesses which 'suffered financially' during that time. Around the time of the Golden Globes in January 2023, Priscilla's daughter, Lisa Marie, was allegedly 'noticeably' becoming 'ill' and had been 'complaining' to her mother about her health issues. The lawsuit claims Priscilla ignored the 'warning signs.' On January 12, Lisa Marie 'suffered cardiac arrest' and was transported to West Hills Hospital in L.A. County. 'Priscilla, who knew that Lisa was in the process of taking steps to remove her as the sole trustee of Lisa's irrevocable life insurance trust, saw an opportunity to regain control,' the court documents allege. 'Despite Lisa's clear directive to 'prolong her life,' Priscilla pulled the plug within hours of Lisa being admitted, and before her granddaughter, Riley [Keough], was able to get to the hospital, demanding that Kruse issue a statement to the media, so she could control the narrative.' Priscilla's attorney, Marty Singer, has since denied the allegations and called the lawsuit 'shameful, ridiculous, salacious and meritless.' Solve the daily Crossword
