Welcome to The List,
The last couple of years have been quite a whirlwind for Jackson Dean, and he’s had the opportunity to check off quite a few things on his career bucket list, including several venues he’s always dreamed of playing. But are there other venues he still dreams of performing in? “I’ve already done the Ryman, I’ve already done the Opry, I’ve done Red Rocks. Now, the funny thing is like, where are we gonna go next? I mean, the next step is to headline these places for sure, but where’s the next place? It’s a really great question I haven’t been able to answer for a little while. And I’ve been thinkin’ about, you know, where’s the next goal? I’ve even thought about all the O2s over in Europe and stuff. And I’m sure there’s stadiums over there and places over there that I don’t know about that I’d love to go. But I mean, I’ve been three years tourin’ around this country and gotten to all the lower 48 and played so many places. But yeah, we’re gonna keep settin’ goals for ourselves, and we’ve just checked so many off at this point ,you know. It’s a funny little problem to have.”

With the New Year quickly approaching, a lot of people will be making resolutions to improve certain aspects of their life. Considering Tim McGraw is probably one of the fittest guys in country music, his resolution probably won’t have to do with working out or eating healthier. So, we wondered if there was something in Tim’s life that he feels could use some improvement. “Gosh, there’s way more things on my list that I need to get better at than there are things that I’ve gotten better at. You know, we’re all a work in progress and every day you’re trying to do something to make yourself a better person. Some days you fail at that and some days you don’t. It’s hard not to dwell on the things that you’ve done wrong, but if you dwell on those things you sort of get lost in the muck. And my philosophy, I don’t always accomplish it, but all you can do is try to do the next best thing. You know, if you do something wrong, just try to do the next best thing.”

Welcome to The List,
Rumors are flying that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have allegedly set a wedding date. A so-called source says the planning is “military-level precise,” which tracks, because Taylor hates surprises and Travis runs NFL playbooks for a living. Pop music, professional football, and Hollywood elite all in one room. Locked down, protected, unforgettable. Basically the most intense group project ever attempted.

Former Bachelor host Chris Harrison is launching a new dating show for people who want a “traditional, marriage-minded partnership built on commitment and shared values.” Which apparently is now considered edgy programming. Somewhere, reality TV just gasped. This is not roses and drama. This is compatibility and emotional maturity.

Before Luke Combs made it big, he had $200 left in his bank account. That money went toward mastering one song, “Hurricane.” He releases it, sells about 10,000 copies the first week, and uses the cash to finish the rest of the album. Then pitches it to labels. And that, kids, is how you bet on yourself and win.

Toby Keith, Kenny Rogers, and Ed Harris are being inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. The ceremony happens in April in Oklahoma City. They’re joining legends like George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Kurt Russell, and Burt Reynolds. That is a hall with serious swagger. Cowboy hats optional. Legends required.
