Welcome to The List,
Post Malone finally released the full track list for his new album, “F-1 Trillion”, and he did it in a full-page ad in “The Tennessean”. It was also just announced that Posty will make his Opry debut on August 14th…The question is…how ‘country’ IS Post Malone…well, he’s from Texas….

Bill Maher is predicting Travis Kelce will ‘dump’ Taylor Swift. Maher called Swift “tacky” for singing about her past relationships. “I’m sure she’s a lovely person, but the whole thing with the football player. I just felt like 35 was a little old to be like, ‘My boyfriend’s a football player and I wear his jersey to the game with his number on it!’…Bill Maher is getting BLASTED online from Swift fans…

Luke Combs and Garth Brooks sat down recently and talked about the current state of Country music. Luke said Country has a little bit of everything now, quote, “You can have the trap beat and the acoustic songwriter Zach Bryan thing and they’re both doing stadium shows.” Doesn’t make it country….

Word has it that Carrie Underwood is joining “American Idol” this coming season to replace Katy Perry. Of course, Carrie won Season Four of “Idol” way back in 2005.

Welcome to The List,
Megan Moroney just proved she’s either the nicest person in country music… or she has zero bedtime. She told fans at her Meet Me on Cloud 9 pop-up show she’d sign something for every single person there. And she actually did it. CDs, vinyl, whatever you had, Megan stayed until the job was done. Meanwhile, if one person asks me for directions at Target, I fake a phone call and walk away.

Jelly Roll just announced his brand new tour and the name alone deserves a standing ovation. It’s called the ‘Little Ass Shed Tour’. Yes, that’s real. He just finished the Big Ass Stadium Tour with Post Malone, so now he’s downsizing… slightly. These “sheds” still pack in 10 to 15 thousand fans a night. So congrats Jelly, you’re officially too big for arenas, but still emotionally attached to lawn seating.

Travis Kelce might be taking a pay cut if he plays another NFL season. He made 17 million last year, but reports say next year could be closer to 13 million. Which means he may have to tighten the budget a little. Maybe fewer vacations, fewer commercials, and only one diamond-covered cereal commercial instead of two. Thoughts and prayers during this difficult financial hardship.

Tom Hanks is officially playing Abraham Lincoln in a new movie, and apparently it’s personal. Ancestry.com says Hanks is actually Lincoln’s 16th cousin. The movie will mix live action and stop motion animation, which sounds like Lincoln meets Toy Story. If Tom Hanks shows up in a top hat and says “There’s a snake in my boot,” I’m buying tickets.
