The Seattle Seahawks have won Super Bowl LX, defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday.

Kenneth Walker III was named the game’s Most Valuable Player, for good reason — the running back managed to get 135 rushing yards and 27 attempts, racking up significant yardage for the Seahawks.

The first three quarters of the game were largely uneventful, with both teams focusing on defense rather than making any big moves. It took until the fourth quarter for the Seahawks — who were leading, thanks to some impressive field goals — to even score a touchdown. But things managed to pick up after that, with the Patriots scoring two touchdowns to avoid a shut-out. Still, the Seahawks were able to maintain a solid lead, eventually taking the game home for their second Super Bowl win in the franchise’s history.

The Seahawks were favored by 4.5 points heading into the game, and their win caps a remarkable run under third-year coach Mike McDonald. The Seahawks were the top seed in the NFC, going 14-3 in the competitive NFC West before trouncing the division rival San Francisco 49ers and edging out the division rival Los Angeles Rams in the playoffs. They then exorcised the demons from the gut-wrenching loss to the Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX back in 2015. All in all, it couldn’t have been a more satisfying conclusion for Seahawks fans.

The Seahawks were led by quarterback Sam Darnold, a former top draft pick of the New York Jets who bounced around the league before breaking out with the Minnesota Vikings in 2025, leading them to a 14-3 record before losing to the Rams in the first round of the playoffs. The Vikings weren’t convinced Darnold was their quarterback of the future, though, declining to give him a new contract and pinning their hopes on their own top draft pick, J.J. McCarthy. Well, McCarthy didn’t impress in his first season behind center, and the Vikings only went 9-8. Darnold, meanwhile, is a Super Bowl champion.

Record Industry Proposes Adding Labels to AI-Generated Music

Over 35 years after the introduction of the Parental Advisory sticker, the record industry is now weighing whether to place labels on music that utilizes AI.

In a joint announcement from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the Grammys, SAG-AFTRA and other organizations in the music community, the groups declared “a unified approach to voluntary track labeling to give fans clearer information about the use of generative AI (GenAI) in sound recordings.”

Jay-Z Rocks Yankee Stadium Till 3 A.M. at Epic ‘Extra Innings’ Show

Sinatra was playing over the speakers at Yankee Stadium, but the night wasn’t over, not quite. No, as Frank’s voice rang out at 2:30 a.m., in the wee small hours of Monday morning — “I want to beee a part of it …” — Jay-Z still had a few more verses left in him.

Seeing Jay live is a rare enough treat in these days when the man who was once rap’s most prolific hitmaker is more or less retired, for real this time, emerging only when he wants to say something to the generations of hip-hop fans who still revere him like no other. This past weekend, he celebrated two milestones by looking back with a pair of concerts dedicated to full performances of his 1996 debut, Reasonable Doubt, and his 2001 high point, The Blueprint. Those albums are turning 30 and 25 this year, but they’re only the tip of Iceberg Slim’s unparalleled catalog. So, when those two shows sold out instantly, he added a third night at the stadium and called it “Extra Innings.”

Shania Twain Taps Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme for Country Rock Bop ‘Faded Blue Jeans’

Shania Twain is rocking again. The country-pop queen has released a bluesy rock track “Faded Blue Jeans,” and even tapped Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme to lend vocals. The song is steeped in gritty nostalgia, as Twain recalls a trusty pair of jeans, and the past relationship they remind her of.

“Faded blue jeans, big holes in the knees,” Twain and Homme harmonize on the chorus. “Rolling in the grass in ’em, trying to get your hands in ’em,” they sing over booming drums and crash cymbals.

Scout Willis Majestically Moves On After a Breakup in New Song ‘Honey, I’

Scout Willis belts a powerhouse kiss-off to a faithless lover on her grandiose, new gospel-rock song, “Honey, I.” “Honey, I … I don’t have to, I don’t have to love you to love me,” she sings in the chorus. Her voice sounds playful, vulnerable, and brash at times, reflecting the lyrics as she affirms her self-worth as her voice climbs with the melody. The song will appear on an upcoming album, which will come out via 10K Projects, part of Atlantic Music Group. The song follows the release of her songs “It Ain’t Nothing” and “So Many Ways.”

Willis filmed the “Honey, I” video for the song at Los Angeles’ historic, 102-year-old Highland Theatre, which her friend Kristen Stewart recently bought to preserve it. The movie house’s marquee bears her name and she dances among the seats, alone, which is the point of the song.
