Levitt area restaurants looking forward to season
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Levitt at the Falls kicks off its new season Friday night in downtown Sioux Falls.
50 free concerts will entertain crowds throughout the summer.
'It's something we look forward to every year,' Swamp Daddy's Cajun Kitchen Owner and Chef Del'Inkka Beaudion said.
Divided reaction to passing of reconciliation bill
Swamp Daddy's is inside the Jones 421 building, which is close to the Levitt.
'We definitely see an influx of customers that come and get dinner with us with the family, and then walk over to the Levitt and enjoy the concerts,' Beaudion said.
While Swamp Daddy's has been serving Levitt fans for years, a new restaurant in the area is getting ready for its first Levitt season.
The Lodge Bar & Grill at Jacobson Plaza opened less than a month ago.
The restaurant is managed by the Washington Pavilion.
'We've already been staffing up, we're extending our hours this week to accommodate for Levitt, so we've been preparing for this since we opened,' The Lodge Bar & Grill General Manager Andy Wolf said.
Last year's season attendance at the Levitt was 90,000 people.
'It's just important to get the community down and start to see what this area and this part of town is expanding into, what we have to offer as far as shops and food and beverage and just places you can relax, patio spaces, the park,' Wolf said.
'As a small business owner, I can speak for us all downtown that we appreciate the business and the influx of traffic, foot traffic that we have coming downtown,' Beaudion said.
Friday's season opener is Grammy-nominated Divinity Roxx, who has played bass for Beyoncé.
The music starts at 7:00 pm.

Review: ‘FUBAR' Season 2 wastes Arnold Schwarzenegger's star power
When 'FUBAR' premiered on Netflix in 2023, its biggest draw wasn't the plot or action — it was Arnold Schwarzenegger. And for a moment, the novelty of watching the Governator tackle scripted television — like a blockbuster giant squeezing into a Roku-sized streaming box — was enough. Throw in Oscar-nominated Monica Barbaro for some snappy father-daughter banter, and it sounded like the makings of a compelling show. It wasn't. Now we're back for round two, and instead of evolving, creator Nick Santora's series doubles down on action movie cliches and strained punch lines. The result is a new season that plays like a B-movie but thinks it belongs in a big-budget franchise. With about 90 minutes of story sloshing around in an eight-hour bag, the show again proves nostalgia alone isn't enough. Schwarzenegger's Luke Brunner is still a CIA agent with a messy personal life, now under the same roof as his recon team and ex-wife Tally (Fabiana Udenio), with whom he's trying to rekindle a romance. But the relative peace is short-lived. Another global catastrophe looms, courtesy of Carrie-Anne Moss as a shadowy former flame of Luke's with unresolved business. It's a setup layered with intrigue and stakes, but the execution wobbles between sitcom shenanigans and save-the-world spectacle, landing uncomfortably in the middle. This tonal inconsistency is the show's fatal flaw. The eye-rolling quips and mid-tier gunplay could be forgiven if the story leaned into its absurdity or, conversely, its potential as an espionage drama. Instead, major action beats are consistently undercut by jokes, ensuring the threat level remains perilously low regardless of how many countdown timers or high-stakes missions are thrown into the mix. Where the show does flicker to life is in the chemistry between its cast. Schwarzenegger, well past his box office prime but still commanding with his signature steely charm and self-aware muscle, brings surprising pathos to Luke. There's a weathered quality here — not just age, but the burden of legacy. It's one of the few times the project understands the value of its star. Barbaro, meanwhile, remains a standout. The Bay Area native is effective with the action, yes, but even more so in the quieter moments. As Emma Brunner, her scenes with Schwarzenegger give the series rare flashes of emotional clarity, including an especially amusing one late in the season involving an adorable 'Sesame Street'-esque puppet of dad (trust me, it makes sense in context). Some of the side players earn their keep as well. Jay Baruchel and Andy Buckley, cast as Emma's boyfriend and Tally's boyfriend, respectively, are both used to delightful effect as everyday guys hopelessly adrift in the world of cloak-and-dagger chaos. Still, it's hard to escape the sense that 'FUBAR' is all concept, no conviction. 'I'll be back,' says Luke at one point, a meta wink at Schwarzenegger's most iconic catchphrase. It's a fitting reflection of the show as a whole: built on callbacks, but with little to call back to. Arnold Schwarzenegger headlining a TV series should've been an event — a streaming-era reintroduction of a cinematic icon — but it never finds something meaningful to do with him. After two seasons, the question isn't whether 'FUBAR' will come back, but whether anyone would even notice if it didn't.

Christian music star Michael Tait admits to ‘double life' amid sexual assault, drug abuse allegations: ‘Sadly, largely true'
Grammy award-winning Christian rock singer Michael Tait admitted the drug abuse and sexual assault accusations against him are 'mostly true,' in his first public comments since the bombshell claims surfaced. Tait, the former frontman for Newsboys and DC Talk, said he was living a double life as he allegedly abused hardcore substances with younger men before making unwanted advances toward them, according to Christian media outlet The Roys Report. The 59-year-old addressed the accusations in an Instagram post titled, 'My Confession — June 10, 2025.' Advertisement 'Recent reports of my reckless and destructive behavior, including drug and alcohol abuse and sexual activity are sadly, largely true,' Tait wrote. 'For some two decades I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way.' 'I am ashamed of my life choices and actions, and make no excuses for them. I will simply call it what God calls it — sin. I don't blame anyone or anything but myself. While I might dispute certain details in the accusations against me, I do not dispute the substance of them,' he added. 5 Michael Tait sings for the Newsboys during the 49th Annual Dove Awards on Oct. 16, 2018 in Nashville, Tenn. Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Advertisement The report, published June 4, featured sourcing from 50 people, including three men who claim they were targets of Tait's non-consensual sexual advances when they were in their early 20s. Tait allegedly befriended multiple people while on tour, including three men in 2004, 2010 and 2014, respectively. The men claim Tait offered them alcohol or cocaine and later touched them non-consensually, according to The Roys Report. 5 The 59-year-old addressed the accusations in a post to Instagram, titled 'My Confession – June 10, 2025.' @michaeltait/Instagram Advertisement Tait, who abruptly left Newsboys in January because he was 'living a double life,' said he split with the award-winning group 'to get help.' 'I was not healthy, physically or spiritually, and was tired of leading a double life,' he said.

Getty Images The Washington, DC native said he lied throughout his career as he kept his drug abuse and sex life a secret from everyone he worked and lived with. 'I'm ashamed to admit that for years I have lied and deceived my family, friends, fans and even mislef my bandmates about aspects of my life,' Tait said. 'I was, for the most part, living two distinctly different lives. I was not the same person on stage Sunday night as I was at home on Monday.' The current members of Newsboys — Jody Davis, Duncan Phillips, Jeff Frankenstein and Adam Agee — were left 'shattered' over the allegations against Tait. 'Last night our hearts were shattered when we read the news alleging drug abuse and inappropriate sexual actions by our former lead singer, Michael Tait,' the band wrote on Instagram Tuesday. 'First and foremost, our hearts are with the victims who have bravely shared their stories. If you are a victim, we urge you to come forward. We absolutely do not condone any form of sexual assault.' The band was aware of Tait's 'double life' but said they never imagined how bad it could be. Tait is a four-time Grammy winner, taking the award for Best Rock Gospel Album in 1994, 1997, 1998 and 2002. Advertisement He was a nominee for the award at the 2005 show. Tait joined Newsboys in 2009 after having been a founding member of the Christian rap trio DC Talk from 1988 to 2001. After the allegations were made public, Newsboys and DC Talk songs were pulled from the US's largest Christian radio network, K-Love, according to the Christian Post. 5 Duncan Phillips, Jody Davis, Peter Furler, Michael Tait and Jeff Frankenstein of Newsboys attend the red carpet for the 'God's Not Dead: In God We Trust' premiere in Southlake, Texas on Sept. 4, 2024.

'As the investigation proceeds, our prayers are with all those involved. In the meantime, our Programming Team is resting Newsboys and DC Talk music on our stream.' Tait admitted to being on a path of repentance and started a journey of healing with clinical health professionals, counselors and family. 'I have hurt so many people in so many ways, and I will live with that shameful reality the rest of my life. I can only dream and pray for human forgiveness, because I certainly don't deserve it,' he said. 'I have even accepted the thought that God may be the only One who ultimately and completely forgives me.'

Sabrina Carpenter sparks controversy with provocative 'Man's Best Friend' album cover
Sabrina Carpenter sparks controversy with provocative 'Man's Best Friend' album cover Show Caption Hide Caption Met Gala: Sabrina Carpenter wears bodysuit Sabrina Carpenter is giving "espresso" as she wears a stunning pinstripe bodysuit to the Met Gala red carpet. Sabrina Carpenter's next musical era doesn't have everyone wagging their tail. Following the release of her latest single "Manchild," the Grammy-winning pop princess revealed the title and release date for her new album, "Man's Best Friend," on her social media pages June 11. "My new album, 'Man's Best Friend' 🐾 is out on August 29, 2025," Carpenter, 26, wrote. "I can't wait for it to be yours x" The post also included an image of what appears to be the album's cover. The photo shows Carpenter, dressed in a black dress and high heels, kneeling on the ground in a dog-like pose while an unidentified individual stands off to the side and pulls her by the hair. "Man's Best Friend," Carpenter's seventh studio effort, follows the release of her breakthrough 2024 album "Short n' Sweet." The album, which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, spawned the hit singles "Espresso," "Please Please Please," "Taste" and "Bed Chem," as well as solidified the singer's playful pin-up girl image. Carpenter first teased "Man's Best Friend" with the release of "Manchild" on June 5. The music video for the synth-pop track drew buzz on social media for Carpenter's bold look, which consisted of a white button-up, baby blue heels and denim "micro" shorts. Sabrina Carpenter divides fans with 'Man's Best Friend' cover Carpenter's album cover for "Man's Best Friend" set the comments section ablaze, with fans online chiming in with their hot takes on the provocative image. "Love (you) Sabrina but in this political climate with Trump as president and women's control over their bodies being taken away in the US… this is kind (of) insensitive," Instagram user @taylorrram wrote. "This just set us back about 5 decades," @uhhhlexa_ wrote, while user @mgracegunderson weighed in, "Excited for new music but this cover is a big no from me, dawg. In this political climate?? Girls, get up!" However, other fans welcomed Carpenter's daring imagery along with the announcement of new music. "SUMMER OF SABRINA FOR A SECOND YEAR IN A ROW," Instagram user @aislinndalston exclaimed. Sabrina Carpenter teases 'Manchild' in 'micro' shorts, fans are in awe "Sabrina is coming for album of the year, artist of the year, pop vocal album, all of it and I'm here for it 😍," @erik_osterberg wrote. Responding to some of the criticism aimed at Carpenter, X user @wickednewshub offered a more analytical view of the album artwork. "For those of you who may lack critical thinking skills, the cover is clearly satirical with a deeper meaning, portraying how the public views her, believing she is just for the male gaze," the user wrote. What Sabrina Carpenter backlash says about changing views on sex Carpenter channels sexual desire unapologetically in nearly every song from her most recent album "Short n' Sweet." On "Juno," a cheeky track about wanting to become pregnant because of how much she adores her partner, she croons: "Wanna try out some freaky positions?" The singer's tour performance of "Juno," in which she flaunted a sequined mini skirt and pantomimed a sex position while singing the line "Have you ever tried this one?," sparked fierce debate among fans, with some defending Carpenter's saucy performance style and others criticizing it as "male-focused." This debate actually focuses on a "false dichotomy," Leora Tanenbaum, author of "Sexy Selfie Nation: Standing Up For Yourself in Today's Toxic, Sexist Culture," previously told USA TODAY. "(People) ask if she's trying to appeal to the 'male gaze' — appearing hot to cater to hetero men's sexual desires — or to the 'female gaze' — looking sexy on her own terms to make a point about women's confidence and sex-positivity." Sabrina Carpenter, hookup culture and why the way we talk about sex is changing In a changing cultural landscape, in which views on female sexual agency are being reevaluated, women like Carpenter are often scrutinized for their overt sexuality. "Carpenter's lyrics are sexually explicit and may not be appropriate for the Disney audience of children she used to cater to, but her sexual frankness is shocking in this day and age only if you believe that women who are open about sexuality are sluts," Tanenbaum said.
