CHICAGO, Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Four daring 70+ cougars out for a joy ride in a 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible show that this older generation can inspire people of all ages in this year's Big Game teaser spot for WeatherTech from longtime agency partner Pinnacle Advertising.
The music-video-inspired ad is set to the 1969 Steppenwolf rock ballad 'Born to Be Wild,' as it follows four audacious women of a certain age living it up around town in their classic convertible. The spot was directed by Grammy-winning film and music video director Joseph Kahn, known for his music videos with artists such as Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Beyonce, Post Malone, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey and many more.
'Our American-made story is well-known to the US consumer through our 12-year history of advertising on the Big Game and has helped us build brand recognition throughout the country,' noted David MacNeil, CEO of WeatherTech.

The audience knows the WeatherTech brand for its American-made messaging, so the chance to build on that heritage with a new approach was a fun creative challenge,' explained Michael Magnusson, Founder and CEO of Pinnacle Advertising.

On Saturday, Coco Gauff etched her name into tennis history as the winner of the 2025 French Open. The 21-year-old tennis phenom defeated Aryna Sabalenka in three sets, getting a huge comeback to win her first title at Roland-Garros, and her second Grand Slam. After Gauff's big win, the young American earned the praises of a number of big names, who applauded Gauff for her tenacity and talent. Advertisement Former First Lady Michelle Obama congratulated Gauff for her French Open run in a post on X, alongside a video of Gauff's championship point. "Your determination, strength, and grace throughout the French Open has inspired us all — and showed us what's possible. Proud of you!" Obama wrote.

‘Disgusted' Disney World fans fume that execs are ‘wiping out' park's original spirit as Rivers of America attraction closes down: ‘Canceling my trip'
They're sad about the happiest place on Earth. Disney World fans are fuming after the theme park announced the closure of three of its most iconic attractions: Rivers of America, Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat. The beloved destinations are set to shutter on July 7 to make way for Piston Peak National Park— a new attraction based on the Disney and Pixar 'Cars' universe. 3 The riverboat Liberty Belle sailing on the Rivers of America passes Tom Sawyer Island at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. TNS 3 Disney World, which has been in operation since 1971, is pictured. AP 'Imagine an awe-inspiring wilderness filled with towering trees, snowcapped mountains, breathtaking waterfalls, roaring rivers and impressive geysers,' the Disney Parks Blog enthused in a post promoting Piston Peak. 'While fictional, Piston Peak is inspired by the Rocky Mountain area and the history and iconic sights of the American Frontier and its national parks.' However, many Disney World visitors are dismayed that the new park will be constructed ot the expense of the other three attractions — all of which have been open to the public for decades. 'Canceling my trip in October and sadly, will never visit that park again,' one mourned. 'I am heartbroken at the loss of Tom Sawyer Island,' a Disney detractor declared on X. 'This is the WORST decision ever.' 'Walt's Rivers of America transports you to something ideal in American values of exploration, adventure, history, and scenery. A true park within a park,' an additional fan fawned. 'This is a HUGE mistake from Disney. Cartoon Cars will never last the test of time.' 3 However, other Disney lovers were far more upbeat about the upcoming changes, saying plans for Piston Peak appeared promising. A drawing of the future attraction is pictured. Wandering In Disney: A Disney Theme Parks Blog 'More wiping out of the Walt Disney era,' another spluttered. 'I'm disgusted with current leadership of Disney Corp. I'm done with them. Still love classic Disney, but I've lost all interest in anything about current 'Disney' (parks , movies, streaming). They are not part of my world anymore.' However, other Disney lovers were far more upbeat about the upcoming changes, saying plans for Piston Peak appeared promising. 'I showed this to my 10-year-old and he SQUEALED with joy and shouted 'PISTON PEAK?!' I'm thrilled that new generations are getting spaces in the parks that speak to them. Almost forgot this is the whole point,' one Disney defender posted on X in light of the news. 'Thanks for your insight,' one reader responded. 'I'm so tired of the negativity around this upgrade of the space. 'I like that they're incorporating the river & adding new water features to keep the same vibe,' another wrote on Facebook DW News Today shared the news.

Insiders Reveal Taylor Swift's Life With Travis Kelce in Florida Is a Total 180 From Her Usual Lifestyle
Taylor Swift might be one of the most recognizable faces on the planet, but in Florida, she's just another person out for a morning walk — with security in tow, of course. The singer has been quietly living in Boca Raton as boyfriend Travis Kelce trains for the upcoming NFL season, and according to insiders, their low-key routine is a far cry from the red carpets and arena tours Swift is used to. 'They're living fairly normally here,' a source told Life & Style. 'She hasn't been spotted much, but everyone is buzzing that she's here.' Despite the buzz, the couple seems to have found something close to peace in the Sunshine State. 'When they go out to eat or have drinks, people let them be,' the source added. More from SheKnows How Much Does a Meal Cost at Taylor Swift's Go-To Italian Restaurant? That includes a recent date night at Harry's in West Palm Beach, where Swift sipped white wine in an off-the-shoulder floral dress — perhaps part of Kelce's recent $80,000 wardrobe splurge on the 'Blank Space' singer — while Kelce opted for a cocktail and a casual button-down. The two were spotted holding hands and flanked by security, making it low-profile for them. The pair has kept things relatively under wraps since the Chiefs' 2025 Super Bowl loss, but reports suggest they've been living together in the Boca rental Kelce picked up this spring. On a May episode of the New Heights podcast, he slyly mentioned, 'We've got chimneys and we've got furniture,' prompting Swifties to translate 'we' into cohabitation confirmation. Insiders say this quieter chapter has only strengthened their bond. 'It's been a dream period that's only solidified that they're on the same page about their future,' a source told Life & Style, adding that the downtime 'allowed them to grow closer and be even more certain.' Of course, even Swift's soft-launch sabbatical has a backstory worthy of a rom-com. Gigi Hadid's sister Marielle recently claimed she gave Swift a nudge toward Kelce after a tarot reading — encouraging the pop star to go for it, even if it was just 'for a good lay.' Nearly a year later, the couple is still very much together, navigating the NFL off-season like two very famous homebodies. According to Daily Mail, their days include couple workouts, morning lattes, and yes — Kelce giving Swift massages after learning how to dial down the football strength. For now, it looks like they've traded in Eras-era chaos for domestic calm — and surprisingly, Swift seems just fine blending in.
