A few days ago, it was announced that Taylor Swift will be appearing on a new album from Big Red Machine, a group led by two of her Folklore/Evermore collaborators, Aaron Dessner and Justin Vernon. Before the news was made official, though, Swift fans picked up on an Easter egg in a teaser video, that Easter egg being Swift’s handwriting. Swift’s buried treasures for fans to find have become the stuff of legend, so naturally, Dessner was happy to be involved in that side of Swift’s career.
Speaking with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Dessner said:
“It’s funny because I feel like I’m also searching for the Easter eggs when she drops them because there’s so many. I’m such a fan of what she does, but I think she has a sort of mystical, mythical elements in her songwriting just kind of are there as a constellation in her mind. She sees things, patterns, that she then drops in different ways. And so sometimes I know, and sometimes I don’t know, but it’s fun. And I think her fans are just incredible, the details that they’re interested in. I love it, it’s super fun. I feel like I got invited into the best club or something.”
He also spoke about the strong collaborative chemistry he and Swift share, saying:
“Whatever wildfire happened last year creatively for Taylor and I… we didn’t want to stop writing songs together, and still don’t, really. It’s kind of like somehow I ended up on the team with the best player, so you just want to keep passing the ball to her. Big Red Machine was a great opportunity because she really fell in love with a lot of the music that Justin and I were working on because I would share it with her. A lot of this music, right before Taylor approached me last year, Justin and I had been in Texas to work on these songs. And so they were pretty far along, and I shared a bunch of them with Taylor and she really was inspired by them, and she knew the first record, so it just kind of was in the air when we were working on Folklore and Evermore.
Some of the songs, some of the instrumental ideas, there were some where she felt like, ‘Well, this might be Big Red Machine.’ And so it just kind of happened naturally after we finished Evermore, she wrote ‘Renegade’ and it was just like, again, getting hit by a bolt of lightning or something. When you get the chance to work with someone like her, she’s just… she’s a savant and just this incredibly hardworking and wonderful person, so it was just special.”

The less-fun part of being a drinks writer is following sales, tariffs, mergers, and the overall business of the whole industry. It’s not always flashy and rarely interesting to the passive beer drinker or whiskey sipper. Still, following the business side of the drinks world does offer insight into what people actually spend their money on. In today’s case, that means which beers people around the world actually like to drink (based on how big those brands are).
The numbers we’re using today come from Brand Finance’s Alcoholic Drinks 2021 report. Please don’t fall asleep. We know that title is like a shot of hot milk at two-in-the-morning. It gets interesting, we swear.
Pretty much every major beer or spirits brand lost massive amounts of cash in 2020. Corona, as a brand, lost 27% of its value last year. That’s catastrophic from one point of view. From another point of view, Corona was able to remain the world’s most valuable beer brand in 2021, despite that downturn. In fact, Grupo Modelo (which produces Corona) has three of the world’s biggest beer brands in the top ten. Viva Mexico!
Instead of looking at the sales or P&L statements of each of the top ten brands (we have to care about the business side but that doesn’t mean you do!), we’re going to look at their taste. We knew all these brews, of course, but re-tasted them to be sure. That said, they’re ordered based on size, not our preference (as you’ll see, we liked very few of them).
If you haven’t already tried any of these tasty and popular beers, click on the prices to give them a shot yourself!
This Japanese rice lager is all about being a “dry” sip of beer. The brew starts out with high-starch barley mixed with rice that’s thrown in the tank with Asahi’s own dry yeast strain. The brew is then hopped with an array of noble hops.
Tasting Notes:
This has a grassy and yeasty nature on the nose that drives into the palate. There’s a thin layer of barley cake maltiness next to the effervescent fizz of the beer. The hops are barely present and lean slightly towards floral and grassy.
Bottom LIne:
This is a pretty thin lager. It’s great when it’s super cold and you’re diving into a massive sushi menu or watching something on the grill under the hot summer sun.
Miller Lite is the O.G. lite beer that was developed by a biochemist back in the 1960s as a “diet beer.” The light lager is based on Miller’s pilsner roots but, if we’re being honest, it strays pretty far from those roots. At the end of the day, this would be called a “low-cal” beer today.
Tasting Notes:
This is notably thinner than Miller High Life. The maltiness is almost gone with the main thrust of this beer being a hint of hop “aroma” next to a dry fizz and… not much else. There’s a tinniness to the whole sip that’s accentuated by a faux-sweet undertone.
Bottom LIne:
With so many craft “low-cal” beers on the market today, why even bother with this? That being said, this is a very easy beer to crush when it’s freezer cold.
This Japanese import is actually an American lager when it comes to the style of beer it is. That means the hops are very drawn back with more emphasis on bready malts and fizz.
Tasting Notes:
This is a little maltier than the other beers on this list but more in a Saltine cracker way. The beer carries that cheap metallic note next to a hint of hop aroma, but only if you’re stretching to find it. The essence of this brew is its light body and dry, fizzy end.
Bottom LIne:
Who hasn’t crushed a sixer of these while eating sushi? There’s something about that very mild touch of salt that goes a long way to make this a pretty good pairing lager to have on hand.
This adjunct lager from Mexico leans into the corn over the barley in its base. The yeast, water, and hops are more of a supporting cast for that corn at the end of the day.
Tasting Notes:
There’s a bit more going on in this beer’s taste than just corn-fueled sweetness. The sip has a crusty white bread maltiness with an almost orange flower hop twinge. The sweetness of the corn manifests more like watered-down floral honey with a hint of hop dank lurking far in the background.
Bottom LIne:
This might only be the seventh most valuable beer brand in the world but it’s close to number one in our hearts. This is just a really drinkable adjunct lager that’s easy to access and goes down almost too easily.
This is one of the most imbibed beers on the planet, which may shock you. Technically a European pale lager, this beer is a very commodity-driven beer of the people. The brew is a mix of rice and barley in the base with hop aroma, yeast, and water making up the rest of the recipe.
Tasting Notes:
This is thin. This leans so watery that it’s almost like you’re drinking a plain hard seltzer that was poured into a glass that once held a regular lager. There are memories of malts somewhere lurking under the fizzy mineral water. As for the hops, the character is more like some said the word near the brewing tank, as opposed to actually putting them in the beer.
Bottom LIne:
I grabbed a sixer of these for my motel room the last time I was in China. I drank two and left the rest.
This light lager came around about a decade after Miller’s entry into the “lite” beer pantheon. This light lager also utilizes rice in its base with a little barley. Hop aromas are added to give that “beer” sense.
Tasting Notes:
Again, this is more like plain hard seltzer that was poured into a used beer glass. That’s really all there is.
Bottom LIne:
It’s almost offensive how watery this beer is. It doesn’t even reach the mild maltiness of a Miller Lite, which really isn’t saying all that much.
This Vienna lager from Mexico is a pretty solid hot-weather go-to. The beer is brewed with non-malted cereals, malted barley, and corn. A touch of hops is added to the mix and that’s about it.
Tasting Notes:
This is light but not listless. There’s a real malty character with a touch of floral, almost bitter, hops. The sip, overall, is very dry and effervescent with a mild touch of dry yeastiness and a distant orange oil brightness.
Bottom LIne:
This manages to be low-ABV without sacrificing character or flavor. Yes, it’s a thin lager but at least there’s something there. Plus, this is a fantastic beach beer or food-pairing beer for spicy, bitter, or cheesy foods.
Classic Budweiser is made with a recipe of malted barley, rice, yeast, and water with a touch of hop aromas. The beer is still carbonated naturally and rested in beechwood casks while it’s lagering.
Tasting Notes:
This isn’t hard seltzer but it’s close. You do get a sense of wet grains with a note of floral hops buried in the body of the beer… somewhere. There’s a tininess at play with a hint of an empty rice bag.
Bottom LIne:
You’re not a beer snob if you find this hard to go back to after getting into the run-of-the-mill German beers it was based on. It’s just so thin and lifeless while not really offering anything that makes it taste as a classic lager should.
Heineken keeps things simple. It’s made with malted barley, yeast, hops, and water. That’s it. Heineken’s A-Yeast strain is what gives the brew its signature fruity body and dryness.
Tasting Notes:
This is relatively sweet in the sense that apples are sweet sometimes. The taste does lean into the fruitier aspect of the maltiness while the hops are more floral and kind of bitter. This leads towards a light, bright, and thin end with a crisp apple edge and salted crackers.
Bottom LIne:
This tends to be a cheap go-to when you want a dive bar or grocery store beer with a little something to it. It’s still pretty thin, but at least there are flavor notes to pick up.
This is the ultimate vacation or beach beer. It’s also pretty ubiquitous in bars around the world. The brew is a mix of corn, malted barley, hop aroma, yeast, water, and vitamin C, or ascorbic acid. Propylene glycol alginate is also added as a stabilizer.
Tasting Notes:
The corn really shines on this beer. It’s sweet, grainy, and a little bit dry. The floral hops are barely present on this light sip. For an adjunct lager, there is a bit more depth than the average American one. The real draw is the soft end to this beer with a mild salinity, especially when a lime wedge is added.
Bottom LIne:
I’ve been drinking a lot of these over the last year. I don’t know if it’s nostalgia or what, but they still hit the spot. There’s a certain tang to this beer that hits just right on a hot day.

It’s a big day to be Blood Orange: an unreleased song of Devonté Hynes’ soundtracks the just-released trailer for Netflix’s new John David Washington vehicle, Beckett. Titled “Born To Be,” the ominous, atmospheric track plays over a chilling first look in which the film’s main character (Washington) gets sucked into a political conspiracy while traveling abroad.
In other Blood Orange news, Hynes has directed a new video for his collaboration with Mykki Blanco, “It’s Not My Choice.” In a statement, Blanco said of working with Hynes, “Creating with Dev Hynes as director of this video was as effortless as creating the song together. I have long admired that Dev has never compromised along his musical trajectory, offering us songs that play between disciplines and genres at the wave of a hand. This video was carefree and captured what I feel to be some quintessential summer moments — being with friends, being in nature, and having a sense of poise no matter your own personal thunderstorm.”
In recent weeks, Hynes also popped up at a special re-opening concert at New York City’s Irving Plaza featuring The Strokes, John Mulaney, and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. While there, Hynes helped The Strokes out with a collaborative performance of “One Way Trigger,” from the rock staples’ 2013 album, Comedown Machine.
Have a listen to “Born To Be” via the Beckett trailer above, and check out Dev and Blanco’s video for “It’s Not My Choice” while you’re at it. And finally, Beckett arrives on Netflix on August 13.

Typically when we write about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, it has to do with one of the poor decisions he has made. Like calling for flags in the Sunshine State to be lowered following the death of bloviating monster Rush Limbaugh, declaring the WWE an “essential” business, or requiring cruise ships to allow unvaccinated passengers aboard. On Thursday, however, he did something wholly unexpected by praising President Joe Biden.
Biden spent the bulk of the day in Surfside, just above Miami Beach, where he met with first responders and families of the residents and victims of last week’s deadly condominium collapse. During a briefing later in the day, DeSantis publicly thanked the president for the support he has given the governor and Miami-Dade County in their search and rescue efforts and noted how Biden had “recognized the severity of this tragedy from day one.” He added that:
“This is the first response in Florida’s history outside of a hurricane where all of our urban search-and-rescue teams were mobilized. So, they’ve been going in and out of the rubble, searching, trying to find people, trying to rescue people, at a minimum trying to identify anyone who may be deceased to bring closure to the families, which is very important, but they’re tired. … This is grueling.”
While it seemed like a genuine show of appreciation—and very well could be—some people noted that DeSantis, who isn’t known for his frequent bouts of heaping praise on people, is also in the midst of a tiff with Donald Trump, of whom he’s been a vocal supporter. And one can’t help but wonder if his commendations of the Biden administration weren’t partly meant for Trump to hear. The issue at hand is the former president’s decision to go forward with a rally he has scheduled for this weekend in Sarasota, Florida. The Washington Examiner reports that DeSantis made “a direct plea” to Trump’s camp to reschedule their event, as the state mourns the tragedy.
An unnamed Florida Republican said that “the governor is getting tested here as to how far he’s going to be pushed before he breaks ranks with President Trump. And he has to be very careful because this is Trump country. The base loves the president. But they equally love Ron. It’s a showdown going on right now.”
As for where the anonymous source stood on the matter of Trump going ahead with his event as planned? They said he needs to “read the room.”
The first (non-pilot) scene filmed for Game of Thrones was a conversation between Ned Stark and Cersei Lannister. It’s an innocuous beginning for what would become one of the biggest shows of all-time. But HBO’s latest big-ticket adaptation kicked off production with a more essential moment than Cersei talking sh*t about her husband.
The Last of Us star Gabriel Luna has shared a behind-the-scenes image from the first day of filming in Calgary, Canada for the video game-turned-television show. “Already love these folks. #MillerTime #thelastofus,” the actor, who plays Tommy, wrote, referring to his on-screen family, Joel (played by Pedro Pascal) and Sarah (Nico Parker).
They’re smiling in the photo, but the scene they’re shooting is not a happy one. The Last of Us largely takes place 20 years after a fungus has turned the world into a post-apocalyptic nightmare full of clickers, cannibals, and rat kings. But the first game (a sequel was released in 2020) begins with a scene from the before times, where Joel is living in domestic bliss with his daughter, Sarah. One night, Sarah wakes up to a panicked phone call from her Uncle Tommy: the world has gone to hell. Before long, Joel, Tommy, and Sarah are in a car to flee whatever is happening. The escape attempt is interrupted after they get sideswiped, and while on foot, Joel and Sarah run into a solider who’s tasked with killing the infected. They’re fine, but the soldier still shoots Sarah, killing her and setting up Joel’s emotional arc in the game. And soon, show.
What a fun way to start a new job!
The Last of Us does not currently have a premiere date.
Life is good for Billie Eilish right now. The young pop star is riding the wave for her second album, Happier Than Ever with lots of support for her singles and even an Amazon Prime Show to introduce her new work in a dreamy visual setting. Though she’s already shared quite a few songs off the new record, due out at the end of this month on 7/30, she revealed on Instagram earlier today that yet another new single is coming next week.
The fifth single off Happier Than Ever is called “NDA,” and Billie will be releasing the song along with a video next week. “‘NDA’ SONG AND VIDEO OUT NEXT FRIDAY JULY 9TH JSHVKSJCIKSHCJSKCBUSKSK PRE-SAVE IN BIOOOOO,” she wrote, clearly excited about the news. “NDA” will follow up earlier singles like “Therefore I Am,” “Everything I Wanted,” “Your Power,” and “Lost Cause.” The music has been a bit of a shift from the sound on her debut album, and her new blonde hair has been a major aesthetic shift, but the real buzz around songs like “Your Power” has focused on Billie’s past relationships. With a title like “NDA,” it seems likely this new single will have some drama associate too, so stay tuned for the drop next Friday.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a massive effect on just about every aspect of life. We all felt the devastating effects that the nationwide shutdowns had on the economy. Those early days of lockdown really tested the resilience of small businesses. That struggle pushed some people to completely change the trajectory of their lives, awakening a kind of perseverance that helped them fight through.
“It was a really surreal time to be working in a restaurant; we both lost our jobs and at that point realized we wanted to make something happen on our own,” says Bonnie Hernandez and Shea Montanez, the owner and chef of Happy Mediums, a deli pop-up that operates out of their home. The foundation of the pop-up is bolstered by a sense of culinary creativity and the belief that “food is love.”
“Luckily, I think we both have a pretty good fighting spirit in us to shift this ‘oh god what are we going to do panic’ into ‘hey maybe this is an opportunity’ says Hernandez, “We wanted to, from the very beginning, make sure that we were building into that a model that supported our community. We’re part of a broader movement taking care of each other. You feel more proud because you made it happen all on your own.”
Watch the above video to learn more about Hernandez and Montanez’s triumphant against-the-odds story, their love of food and community, and how Happy Mediums is making a difference. And keep an eye out for additional episodes from our Salud To Summer series, created in partnership with Modelo.
Top Chef Portland had its finale last night, and I’m already distraught. All I can think about are the weeks and months of drudgery ahead, with no cooking competitions or Padma entendres or incredibly specific food criticisms from Tom Colicchio to leaven the load. I’ve just been sitting in the middle of my living room wearing my Ed Lee Replica Statement Hat rocking back and forth crying, muttering about gaper clams.
Bravo
I can’t believe they let him in wearing that thing. I would’ve been afraid that he’d flip a table over, claim the dinner for the country’s peasantry, and carve a Z on the wall with a saber. Even Gregory Gourdet looked glum.
NBC Universal
Poor guy, just sitting there thinking “I was led to believe that I would be the jauntiest one.”
Anyway, this was a three-way, four-course battle (that’s 12 course-ways!) between Shota Nakajima, Dawn Burrell, and Gabe Erales. It pitted Shota’s tasting menu experience against Dawn’s potential for transcendent greatness and Gabe’s steady consistency and elite sauce making. There’s a lot of room for error in four courses, so perhaps it was fitting that the win, in the end, went to the chef who throughout the competition just seemed to make the fewest errors — Gabe Erales, aka Big Fozzy, the Man of 1000 Moles.
Some of the readers gave me a hard time about not being moved by all the crying in episode 11. It all came back around this episode. I admit it, watching Maria shout “Que te dije, cabrón!” and hugging Gabe after the win had me legitimately moved. Maybe it’s being from the San Joaquin Valley, but I really relate to hearing “cabrón” used a term of endearment. “I love you, guey.” “I love you too, puto.”
The margin seemed razor thin. Dawn forgot a few components in dish one (shocker!) and had superfluous seafood in dish two. Shota had a slightly underwhelming vegetable dish and poorly plated (insufficiently cheffy!) dish three. In the end it was a pretty satisfying finale. It felt like the winner deserved it, even if either of the other chefs could’ve won on any given night. Next year we should make t-shirts of our favorite contestants. Sitting in my living with giant foam chicken legs and shit. Then Rob Lowe could show up in a hat that just says “FOOD.”
In lieu of a traditional ranking this week, I thought we could run through the contestants’ dinners dish by dish, reliving that magic.
1. Gabe Erales
NBC Universal
AKA: Good Gabe. Canelo. Fozzy. The Foz. The Masa Father. Jamón. Steady Eddie. Susan Lucci. The Winner.
Tough choice, but I have to go Dawn. If I saw gumbo, “jerk beef cheek,” and yam bread pudding on a menu, I’m ordering that one (even the tendon seems intriguing). Shota might be at a natural disadvantage here, since Japanese tends to sound much simpler than it tastes.
Dish 1
Shota: Sashimi 3-Ways
Bravo
Dawn: Lamb Tartare With Beef Tendon Puff
Bravo
Gabe: Fried Pibil Head Cheese
Bravo
Viewer’s Verdict, Dish 1:
Slight edge to Dawn. Again, everything looks amazing, and Shota might be at a slight disadvantage because it’s hard to judge something as simple as sashimi purely on looks. True, like the judges said, Dawn probably doesn’t need all that stuff on there — definitely could’ve gone honey bread OR tendon puff, not both. But it all sounds and looks so good… I guess it’s the maximalist in me, but I’m fine with “too much.”
In the end, she left her bread off two plates and a tendon off of one anyway, all but ensuring that she lost this round. Without that, I think she takes it.
Dish 2:
Gabe: Scallop Aguachile, etc.
Bravo
Shota: Octopus Karaage
Bravo
Dawn: Green Gumbo With Seafood and Rice Fritter
Bravo
Viewer’s Verdict:
Gabe in a walk. That looks amazing and I don’t even like scallops. Even based on looks alone, I have to agree with the judges that Dawn sabotaged a potential winning dish by adding too much stuff to it. With Shota’s, I have to plead ignorance on “water spinach.” That’s a real thing? Come on, you made that up. I kid, but it does look a little like a pile of garnishes.
Holy hell, this course was a murderer’s row. I didn’t think anyone could top Shota’s fried-then-braised beef tongue curry, and then Gabe comes in with short rib and black mole (the best mole, imo). And then Dawn flies off the top rope with jerk beef cheek and buttered turnips. This is the strongest dish for all three, but I give the razor-thin edge to Dawn. “Buttered turnips?” I’ve never even had that but it sounds amazing. Every single syllable sounds sexual. You wouldn’t be allowed to serve that at a convent.
The judges ragged on Shota for his overly rustic plating, and even worse, his “crunchy” rice. How many times have people screwed up rice on this show? I think the secret is to never, ever cook rice on Top Chef.
Course 4
Dawn: Yam Bread Pudding
Bravo
Gabe: Candied Squash With Cafe Mexicano Ice Cream
Bravo
Shota: Hoji Tea Cheesecake with Cedar Smoked Gelato
Bravo
Viewer’s Verdict:
Dawn in a walk. Yam bread pudding? Yeah, no one’s beating that. Gabe loses for putting flowers on the plate — FOH with that. I also don’t really understand squash. You cook it and the texture barely changes, and it’s all spongey… I just never know quite what to do with it. Shota’s looks amazing, but again: yam bread pudding. You’re not going to beat it.
—
All in all, I have Dawn winning three rounds. I have to assume forgetting a component in the first dish and then following that with her weakest dish was just too deep a hole to climb out of with two dishes to go, especially when Gabe was right there with a solid, composed dish in every round. Shota’s crunchy rice in the round when the other two had their showstoppers was the nail in his coffin. No quibbles with the decision at all.
Congratulations to Big Fozzy, the Man Of A Thousand Moles. You done good, cabrón. You’re so good at conceptualizing dishes — can you tell me what to do with my life now that this show is over?

Never one to spare anyone’s feelings, this week 50 Cent decided to get a joke off at Lil Kim’s expense. The rapper shared a side-by-side comparison of Lil Kim’s look from the BET Awards and an owl to his Instagram, clowning on her in his caption, then using the virality of the meme to plug his own projects. A little corny, anyone would admit. “Who did this sh*t,” he wrote. “This ain’t right. LOL catch FOR LIFE on IMDb Tv now !”
Well, Kim’s husband, Jeremy Neil aka Mr. Papers didn’t take kindly to the rapper bullying his wife and went in on the comments: “Leave my wife out the jokes ya heard,” he wrote.
Instagram
But once Kim herself jumped in, the joke was definitely on 50. She brought up a date she curved him on and was able to laugh at herself at the same time. Oh and the date incident? It’s all laid out in her forthcoming book, in stores this November. Check out her response below.

Sh*t like this don’t move me one way or another cause I’m still a bad *itch that n—–, b*tches, mommies, daughters, and aunties still want to be till this day and I love it!! @50cent I see u still in ur feels about that dinner date u asked me on that I had to turn down.
