    Katy Perry's 2025 The Lifetimes tour kicks off in Houston

    Pop star Katy Perry will hit the road in 2025 with her The Lifetimes Tour, which will begin in Houston at the Toyota Center on Wednedsay, May 7.

    Perry will also perform in Austin on May 20 and in Dallas on May 21.

    The three Texas dates are among nine U.S. stops that come in between international dates in Mexico and Australia on the oddly-structured tour that will last for almost seven months.

    After spending June down under, Perry will finish off her tour with 24 more concerts across North America through August 23. She'll then head to South America and Europe to finish the year.

    The tour is in support of her new dance-pop album, 143 (representing the phrase "I love you"), which was released in September 2024. The seventh album of her career, it was her first album since Smile in 2020.

    Perry served as a judge on American Idol from 2018 to 2024, but it would seem that this tour — her first since 2018 — precluded her participation for the upcoming season.

    Tickets for the U.S. dates will be available starting with Citi and Verizon presales beginning on Tuesday, January 28.

    The artist presale will begin on Wednesday, January 29 at 10 am ahead of the general on-sale starting on Friday, January 31 at 10 am at KatyPerry.com.

    Top-rated Texas pitmaster headlines new Food Network barbecue show

    Ernest Servantes (in denim jacket) is among the judges of a new Food Network series.

    Ernest Servantes already knows what it takes to win $50,000 from Food Network; now the Seguin pitmaster is the one handing it out. The Burnt Bean Co. pitmaster, who won a big check on Chopped Grill Masters in 2012 and took the No. 1 spot on Texas Monthly's 2025 list of the state's top 50 barbecue joints, is one of four judges on Pitmasters, a new series that puts elite barbecue teams through a week of live-fire competition.

    The series puts the teams through the wringer with a breakneck schedule of challenges ranging from whole-hog cooking to a four-protein showdown. The premiere episode drops the contestants straight into a "Big Burn" challenge, giving the pitmaster pairs nine hours to build a family-style platter of two meats and a side that defines their style.

    But it wouldn’t be a Food Network show without a twist. This time, Servantes and his fellow judges — Andrew Zimmern, competition barbecue great Moe Cason, and Austin-based barbecue personality Jess Pryles — throw the cast a 60-minute "Flash Burn" curveball that asks them to create the perfect barbecue bite.San Antonio talent won’t just be behind the judges' table. Three teams will feature well-known names in the local smoked meat scene.

    Grecia and Esaul Ramos, the proprietors of San Antonio’s 2M Smokehouse, might have an advantage. After all, the duo is not only married; they work together in the kitchen every day. But they’ll face stiff competition from two other locals with their own live-fire superpowers.

    Boerne’s Al Frugoni, paired with Louisville, Kentucky influencer Jeremy Yoder, is known for his Argentine asado-style cooking and self-named line of seasonings sold at Walmart and H-E-B. Also representing Boerne will be Ruben Santana, paired with Palmira Barbecue pitmaster Hector Garate from Charleston, South Carolina.

    That Santana is listed as a hometown pitmaster may raise a few eyebrows. He’s best known as the founder of Brooklyn’s Bark Barbecue, a project that has gained him national recognition for fusing Dominican and Texas styles. We’ll have to wait to see if he is firing something new in Texas.

    Pitmasters premieres July 13 on Food Network. Episodes will air on Mondays and be available to stream on HBO Max the following day.
