In a 10-minute video of the concert, the band were performing their 2005 hit 'Move Along' when bandleader Tyson Ritter told his bandmates and the crowd, 'Alright guys. Whoa, whoa whoa. We've gotta stop it.'
'The cops just shut us down,' Ritter, 41, added. 'Sorry, y'all. We just got kicked off campus.'

The crowd booed as the band stopped their performance and Ritter disappeared from the backyard.
As the audience chanted 'f–k the police,' Ritter returned and told everyone, 'They said we can play one more f—ing song! We get one more song!'

After the crowd cheered, Ritter said, 'I haven't done this in a long time, but I'd really like to thank the local police for letting us f—ing keep carrying on.'

'Holy s–t. How often do you get a blessing from an officer?' Ritter continued. 'Well, I guess we've got one more song for you, and I'll give you 1 million guesses to guess which one. You might recognize it.'

The band then performed their 2008 hit 'Gives You Hell' for the final song of the night.

'Thank you so much for coming out you guys,' Ritter told the crowd. 'Get home safely because the man let us keep playing. You take care, Columbia. Congrats on the graduations.'
Mark Fitzgerald, the Columbia Police Department's assistant chief of police, told CNN that the band, their security staff and the crowd were 'very cooperative' with officials — despite that the concert was 'in violation of several local ordinances.'

Fitzgerald said that the officers who responded to the scene 'listened to a couple of songs' before the patrol sergeant told the band of the rules they were breaking.
But the sergeant also informed the band that they could play one more song before they ended the concert.
'The Sergeant told me that he knew exactly who the band was and listened to them a lot while he was in college,' Fitzgerald shared. 'The Police Department would be happy to have the All-American Rejects return and play in Columbia, hopefully with the proper permits and approval.'

Most Popular Cat Names in the US Revealed
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 new study dove into the most popular pet names of 2025, and in the cat world, one name remained on top for a second consecutive year. TrustedHousesitters, a pet-sitting platform, gathered data from the 100,000 dogs and cats registered to the community in July 2025 to find the most popular names for our furry friends. Earning the most popular cat name in 2025, among males and females, is Luna, which also earned the title the previous year. Rounding out the Top 5 are Charlie, Lucy, Bella and Leo. The name Charlie gained in popularity, coming in at number two after just missing the Top 5 a year prior. The rest of the top 25 monikers included a mix of cat classics—Pepper, Coco and Shadow—as well as using traditionally human names.

Names then transformed to mirror a pet's personality. As people began treating their pets as family members, human names rose in popularity, and pop culture has since become a major influence on names. From movies and food, pet parents are drawing inspiration from all around. BookTok, a community on TikTok for literary enthusiasts to share and discuss books, especially gave owners name ideas this year. The study found that the Fourth Wing book series by Rebecca Yarros sparked a 318 percent increase in the name Violet and a 320 percent increase for Onyx, among both cats and dogs. The names Feyre, Azriel, and Rowan, from Sarah J. Maas's fantasy universe, also gained popularity as pet names. Do Cats Know Their Names? As owners obsess over finding the perfect moniker for their pet, they might begin to wonder whether or not cats actually know their names. Pet experts found that not only can felines recognize their names, they can also differentiate them from other household pets' names, according to an article from PetMD. The recognition is likely due to positive reinforcement and a cat's association of their name with attention, food or play. Cats can also differentiate between their owner's voice and that of a less-visited guest. They recognize tones of voices, influencing how likely they are to pay attention to us. To test if your cat understands their name, see how they respond. Chances are, if they turn their head or orient themselves toward you, they recognize their name. But, as independent creatures, don't get offended if they don't listen.

Carrie Bradshaw's complete relationship history in ‘Sex and the City': Mr. Big, Aidan, more
It's raining men. Over the course of 'Sex and the City' and its spinoff show, 'And Just Like That,' Sarah Jessica Parker's iconic fashionista sex columnist, Carrie Bradshaw, had countless dates and flings. Some of the men in her life made an impact, and others were lessons to learn from. Advertisement 17 Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw in 'And Just Like That.' HBO 17 Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall in 'Sex and the City' in 2002. Getty Images Her story began when the show premiered on HBO in 1998, following Carrie and her friends Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Samantha (Kim Cattrall) as they took New York City by storm. Advertisement The show ended in 2004, but they returned for movies in 2008 and 2010, and then returned again (sans Cattrall) for the spinoff show 'And Just Like That,' which premiered in 2021. Now that Carrie's story is finally over – as Sarah Jessica Parker abruptly announced that 'And Just Like That' will end when Season 3 concludes on Aug. 14 – here's a look back at some of the key men. 17 Sarah Jessica Parker Stars as Carrie in 'Sex and the City.' Getty Images Ben Played by Ian Kahn, Ben was a sweet magazine editor with a Tweety bird tattoo. He was in Season 2 of 'SATC,' and they met in a classic New York way, sitting by a fountain in Central Park. Advertisement Unfortunately, Carrie self-sabotaged their relationship. When Carrie set up his friend on a double date with Miranda, and his friend wasn't so impressive, she went through Ben's things out of concern that he wasn't as decent as he seemed. Ben caught Carrie snooping, putting the kibosh on their romance. 17 Ian Kahn as Ben in 'Sex and the City.' HBO Vaughn Wysel Advertisement Played by Justin Theroux, Vaughn was a fellow writer who Carrie met at a PEN America luncheon. (Oddly, Theroux also appeared in 'SATC' Season 1 as a different character: an author who bragged about his book's good reviews). In Season 2, when Vaughn took her home to meet his family, Carrie told her friends, 'The thing I like best about him is his family. They've got charisma!' In bed, however, he turned out to have an issue with premature ejaculation, which prematurely ended their relationship. 17 Justin Theroux as Vaughn and Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie in 'Sex and the City.' HBO Jeremy Played by 'The X-Files' star David Duchovny, Jeremy was Carrie's high school boyfriend, who she rekindled her romance with in 'Sex and the City' Season 6. Jeremy once described their relationship as: 'We were in a lip lock for most of 1982.' Carrie broke up with him the first time around because she said, 'I thought, come on, there must be better guys out there — turns out, there aren't!' They reconnected as adults after his divorce from another woman. A gleeful Charlotte told Carrie, 'You're marrying him!' Advertisement But, Jeremy didn't last, as it turned out that he was living in a psychiatric facility. 17 David Duchovony in 'Sex and the City.' HBO Bill Kelly Played by 'Mad Men' star John Slattery, this Season 3 love interest was a politician running for city comptroller. However, that ultimately became their downfall, as his team didn't think it wise for him to see a sex columnist close to election season. They may have had a point. Advertisement It didn't help that he also had some far-out sexual kinks, which Carrie wasn't into. 17 John Slattery and Sarah Jessica Parker in 'Sex and the City.' HBO Jack Berger Played by 'Office Space' star Ron Livingston, Jack was a fellow writer who Carrie dated in Season 6. That ultimately became their downfall, as his writing career stalled while Carrie flourished. Advertisement He was unable to handle this, and so he memorably broke up with her via Post-it note. The note said, 'I'm sorry, I can't. Don't hate me.' 17 Ron Livingston and Sarah Jessica Parker in 'Sex and the City.' Craig Blankenhorn Aleksandr Petrovsky Played by Mikhail Baryshnikov, Carrie's friends called this Season 6 boyfriend 'The Russian.' He was an artist in his 50s who dated Carrie when she was in her 30s. She described him as 'worldly and wise and very sexy.' Advertisement Carrie moved to Paris with him, but their relationship stalled there, as he ignored her for his work. 'I had a life in New York, I had a job and friends and I didn't give all of that up to come here and wander the streets of Paris alone,' an angry Carrie told him. To make matters worse, he slapped her during an argument. Things ended after that. 17 Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw and Mikhail Baryshnikov, as Aleksandr Petrovsky in 'Sex and the City.' WireImage Aidan Shaw Played by John Corbett, Aidan was Carrie's other big, memorable love (in addition to Big). Although Aidan was a good partner, Carrie violated his trust by having an affair with Big behind his back during 'Sex and the City' Season 3. Aidan also wanted a slower-paced life, while Carrie loved the city, so they had a fundamental disconnect. They rekindled their relationship in 'SATC' Season 4, but Carrie still had cold feet when he proposed. 'If you don't want to marry me right now, you'll never want to marry me,' he told her. 17 Sarah Jessica Parker with John Corbett in 'And Just Like That.' HBO MAX Following their split, he married another woman and had kids with her. But, Aidan still turned up in Carrie's life as they shared a steamy smooch in the second 'Sex and the City' movie in 2010 – so this time, Carrie is was cheating on Big with Aidan. In 'And Just Like That,' Aidan was divorced, and Carrie was a widow. They rekindled their relationship once again, but Aidan was still living in Virginia and wanted to keep raising his kids outside of the city. A frustrated Carrie told him, 'I moved mountains and apartments' to make their relationship work, referring to how she moved away from her iconic apartment. But, Aidan still had trust issues from the time Carrie cheated on him with Big. So, they split again in Season 3 of 'And Just Like That.' 17 John Corbett with Sarah Jessica Parker in 'And Just Like That.' Photograph by Craig Blankenhorn/Max Mr. Big Played by Chris Noth, he was the love of Carrie's life. Their on-again, off-again relationship lasted through the entire series, as he and Carrie had their 'meet cute' in the 'SATC' pilot. He was a stranger she literally ran into on the street. 17 Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie and Chris Noth as Mr. Big in 'Sex and the City.' Getty Images 'Big' stood for 'major tycoon, major dreamboat, and majorly out of [Carrie's] league,' as Carrie's friends said. It was a running gag that his real name – John James Preston – was not revealed until the series finale after six seasons. Their relationship had many ups and downs and 'off' periods, since he feared commitment and kept Carrie at arm's length. He always seemed to show up when Carrie was trying to move on from him. 17 Chris Noth and Sarah Jessica Parker in 'And Just Like That.' GC Images In Season 3, when he was married to another woman (Natasha, played by Bridget Moynahan) and Carrie was dating Aidan, Big and Carrie had an affair. They finally got their act together and tied the knot in 2008's 'Sex and the City: The Movie.' They were married for over a decade, until the controversial series premiere of 'And Just Like That,' when he died after suffering a heart attack following a Peloton class. 17 Chris Noth and Sarah Jessica Parker in a 1999 episode of 'Sex and the City.' Getty Images Fans slammed 'And Just Like That' for that plot point. One fan wrote on X, 'Me trying to process that Big died in the first ep of 'Sex and the City' reboot. Can Carrie never be happy or?? We literally went through 6 seasons and 2 films of pain, drama & happy endings now this?! I'mma pretend this show never existed for my own happiness.' Another fan said, 'AND JUST LIKE THAT…. They ruined 'Sex and the City'….Thanks for destroying Big and Carrie!' Big's death also prompted Peloton's stock to drop as it scrambled to recover, as sexual assault allegations emerged against Noth just days after the Season 1 premiere of 'And Just Like That.' 17 Sarah Jessica Parker and Chris Noth in 'And Just Like That.' Photograph by Craig Blankenhorn Duncan Reeves Played by Jonathan Cake, Duncan is Carrie's downstairs neighbor in Season 3 of 'And Just Like That.' He's a British biographer who splits his time between London and New York City. Initially, he and Carrie butt heads, as he objects to the sounds of her heels on the floor, and she protests about a 'woman's right to shoes.' She even texted Samantha (Kim Cattrall) about him. Naturally, when Carrie tells Samantha via text message that he's 'living under me,' Samantha quips, 'I wish he was under me.' Samantha also assures Carrie, 'They say he's a lot of fun.' Eventually, Duncan and Carrie connect over their writing and find mutual respect there, before spending a steamy night together. 17 Jonathan Cake as Duncan and Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie in 'And Just Like That.' HBO 17 Jonathan Cake as Duncan in 'And Just Like That.' HBO Unfortunately, Duncan didn't stick around in The Big Apple, so he wasn't a lasting man in Carrie's life.
