Stanley Cups have generated a cult following for their aesthetically pleasing insulated drinkware that notably also fit in your car’s cupholder. The lifestyle brand has blown up in popularity with fans buying up new releases in just hours including its Mother’s Day styles and its statement-making neon collection — including a Barbie-like fuchsia pink cup. These tumblers are typically as much as $50, but that’s where Target’s Stanley Cup dupe comes in.

The online retailer dropped its own line of exclusive Owala FreeSip water bottles that come in six neutral and statement-making color combinations — and the collection is still in stock (for now).

Owala has quickly gone viral on TikTok as one of the most fashionable insulated tumblers, and at only $28, they’re selling fast. More than 58 million videos about the brand’s FreeSip Water Bottle have been made on the social media platform, with fans even going as far as to say the water bottle is “far better than Stanley.” Even Hilary Duff was spotted leaving the gym in 2023 with an Owala water bottle, according to People.

Target Exclusive Owala FreeSip 24oz Water Bottle
Target wants to keep you hydrated with a range of colorful Owala FreeSip water bottles that you can only get from them. There are six exclusive Target Owala shades to choose from including a trendy sage green style that features a cream mouthpiece and eye-catching hot pink edge on the lid. The design comes with a built-in straw to easily sip your drink throughout the day. Attached is also a lid that clicks into place and will seamlessly snap open with the push of a button.
TikTok user Lehandra Staude has captured more than 20 million views for a video comparing Owala’s FreeSip to the Stanley Cup. Within the video you see the user flip the Stanley Cup on its side and see water leak all over the counter, demonstrating how non-leakproof Stanely Cups can be. Owala’s FreeSip not only provides two different ways to drink from it, but even includes a retractable loop for easy carrying as well as a lid to prevent any spills.
“Out with the old, goodbye Stanley,” Staude says in at the end of the video.
It’s not uncommon for viral Target finds to sell out quickly either. The brand recently got attention for its new margarita insulated tumblers that sold out within a day, which means it’s only a matter of time before shoppers stock up on the exclusive Owala Target shades. Don’t worry though, if you miss out on Target’s Owala water bottles, Amazon, Walmart and Urban Outfitters carry the FreeSip and you can shop it below.

Beis has developed a strong following not only for being a celebrity-founded brand, but for creating sleek and trendy luggage that’s durable and easy to take on a plane. Its luxurious design and spacious interiors have landed it a price range in the $100s, but that’s where this dupe comes in to provide practically the same look and benefits for less than the designer price tag.

It’s no secret that quality carry-ons come at a higher price point, but Target is offering luggage deals that’ll give you enough space to pack all your travel necessities and then some. What caught our eye though, was a Target weekender bag that looks almost indiscernible from the Shay Mitchell brand’s viral bag.
The original Beis Weekender Bag is typically priced at $108+, but you can pickup Target’s version for only $80, which is basically a 26% off discount.

Open Story Signature Weekender Bag
Open Story’s Signature Weekender Bag comes in two colors — black or taupe — which you can mix and match to your luggage. The design has gathered a 4.7-star rating (out of five), with Target shoppers applauding how it “fits perfectly under the plane seat [even when] completely full.” The bag also comes with many pockets, including a main compartment that can fit 35L of items such as your clothes, as well as an interior zip compartment, padded laptop compartment, side slip pockets and an exterior zip pocket. Its versatile design enables it to go from a tote or duffle, while the built-in back slip can slide onto your carry-on handle to roll it from one place to another.
For those curious about the original style, it’s become popular for frequent travelers — especially for the bag’s standout bottom compartment, which can unzip to store shoes and toiletries, or for keeping your clothes separate.
Beis Weekender Bag
You can pick from nine shades ranging from neutral colors of beige, black and gray to statement colors such as pink, blue and green. The Weekender Bag is a functional carry-on, providing an easy-access tote opening and a trolley sleeve to attach to your rolling luggage to help keep your hands free.
The travel bag has earned a 4.8-star rating on the brand’s website from more than 12,000 reviews. Shoppers have praised its interior, with one person saying “it’s spacious, deep and functional.” In our experience, the compartment on the bottom of the bag is quite spacious too, and you’d be surprised just how much fits in this bag.

Taylor Swift‘s famous feud with Scooter Braun is getting the documentary treatment. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Discovery+ announced Tuesday (May 7) that its series Vs will spend its next season – titled Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood — exploring how it all went down, from the mogul’s acquisition of the pop star’s masters to the 14-time Grammy winner’s “Taylor’s Version” re-recording projects and every fiery blogpost in between.
In an effort to represent both parties’ sides equally, the two-part series will reportedly feature legal experts and journalists, as well as people close to Swift and Braun. It’ll examine the roles of gender dynamics, fandom influence and artist rights while dissecting the SB Projects founder’s $300 million purchase of the “Karma” singer’s catalog from Big Machine Records’ Scott Borchetta in 2019, as well as Swift’s allegations that Borchetta blocked her own attempts at acquiring the rights to her first six albums.
Trending on Billboard
Swift also claimed at the time that she was not informed of Braun’s acquisition before it happened — which Borchetta denied — writing in a Tumblr blogpost that she’d only learned of the news “as it was announced to the world.” “All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years,” she’d added of Braun. “This is my worst case scenario. This is what happens when you sign a deal at fifteen to someone for whom the term ‘loyalty’ is clearly just a contractual concept.”
Premiering in June, Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood follows previous installments that focused on Kim Kardashian’s divorce from Ye — formerly Kanye West — in 2021, and Johnny Depp’s defamation trial against Amber Heard in 2022.
“Taylor Swift’s dispute with Scooter Braun over the ownership of her music exploded into the mainstream, taking contract law from board room to social media and into public interest,” Charlotte Reid, vp of commissioning, networks & streaming at WBD U.K. & Ireland, said in a statement. “It’s a high-profile, high-interest story that opened debate on fandom and dominated headlines, one which will resonate with our viewers.”
In the five years since the initial fallout of Swift and Braun’s conflict, the musician has turned in four of her six planned re-records, with Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and Red (Taylor’s Version) both debuting atop the Billboard 200 in 2021, and Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) entering at No. 1 in 2023. The rollout of the re-records has gone hand-in-hand with Swift’s ongoing Eras Tour, which recently launched the star to billionaire status.
“I spent 10 years of my life trying rigorously to purchase my masters outright and was then denied that opportunity, and I just don’t want that to happen to another artist if I can help it,” she told Billboard in 2019. “I do want my music to live on. I do want it to be in movies, I do want it to be in commercials. But I only want that if I own it.”
There’s no such thing as a certainty, a guarantee, when NBC’s The Voice reaches the Live round.
That’s exactly where the contestants find themselves. The Top 12 singers have reached the Lives, the sweaty-palms moment in the season. It’s all nerves and sweaty-palms from here.
Asher HaVon wasn’t showing it.

On Monday night’s episode (May 6), the Team Reba standout stood up and delivered a cover of Boyz II Men’s ‘90s classic “I’ll Make Love to You,” a single that logged 14 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
HaVon did it justice, and made the song his own by blending power, pitch and soul.
Speaking in a package before the Lives, the Selma, Alabama native was glowing following rehearsals. “It was as big as I wanted it to be,” HaVon remarked. “I just hope that I make everybody proud, I just hope that you all feel my heart, and please, vote for me.”
Trending on Billboard
HaVon hit hard during this 25th season of The Voice.
With his commanding performance of Sia and David Guetta’s “Titanium” during the Playoffs, Shay Mooney of Dan +Shay remarked. “this felt like a Grammy moment for you, man.”
And McEntire enthused, “he could sing the phonebook and make it a hit.”
John Legend likened the effort to a religious experience. “There are certain things about you that remind me of Whitney Houston. She would take these songs that weren’t written for a soul singer and have that restraint and regal presence on the sound but also throw in a dope run that you would hear in church,” Legend said. “In church, we save a descriptor for certain vessels, we say they’re anointed. I just felt that anointing on you. That was divine.” Legend will be kicking himself; he’s the only coach who didn’t turn during HaVon’s Blind Audition.
HaVon is somewhat used to the big stage. His resume includes a spot singing for former President Barack Obama during one of his hometown’s Civil Rights commemorations.
Now everyone’s watching.
America has its chance to vote on the Top 12: Asher HaVon, Bryan Olesen, Josh Sanders, Karen Waldrup, L. Rodgers, Maddi Jane, Madison Curbelo, Nadège, Nathan Chester, Serenity Arce, Tae Lewis, and Zoe Levert. When the votes are tallied, the results will be revealed on Tuesday night. Three artists will eliminated, and next week the Top 9 will perform.

Kane Brown has been having quite a year.
He’s got an entertainer of the year nomination at next week’s ACM Awards plus a sold-out opening weekend for his In the Air Tour — which you can still buy last-minute tickets to through ticketing sites like Ticketmaster, StubHub, Vivid Seats (get $20 off orders of $200 with the code BB2024) and Seat Geek (first purchases get $10 off orders of $250+ with code BILLBOARD).

Walking into his dressing room, you can expect to find it stocked with Olipop tonic soda — especially in the flavor orange, the country singer’s favorite. “We drink a lot of Olipop in our house,” he said in an interview with Billboard about his partnership with the brand. The beverage aims to help with digestive health and also includes vitamin C, prebiotics and no artificial sweeteners.
