Welcome back to Don't Alert the Stans!

For this week's episode, it is considerably shorter than usual due to technical difficulties but nonetheless Eden, Nic and Sope bring the same vim, hilarity and knowledge that you've come to expect.

Kicking off the news this week is Taylor Swift's decision to re-record her entire back catalogue as a way of combatting Scooter Braun profiting off her masters. Sope in particular ponders whether this will actually do anything in the grand scheme of things.

Next up, the boys delve deep into the ongoing and continued fallout from Jay Z's partnership with the NFL, breaking down the latest reactions from Cardi B, Freddie Gibbs, Dame Dash and Colin Kapernick's attorney. In what seems to be an occurrence of no research or vetting, the boys confusingly wonder why Rihanna will be honouring Shaun King at her next Diamond Ball Charity Event.

Rounding off the news is the announcement that Stormzy and Maya Jama have broken up and the allegations that a Jorja Smith affair was the catalyst.
