The List for Wednesday, March 19th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The guitar Michael J. Fox absolutely obliterates at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance? In Back to the Future? Yeah, it’s been missing since 1985—poof, gone, like Biff’s dignity. It’s a cherry red Gibson ES-345 and Gibson’s basically playing musical “Wanted” posters to get it back. Even Marty himself is pleading for its return in a video. Bonus fact: the guitar’s from the '60s, even though the scene was set in '55. So not only is it missing—it’s a time-traveling anachronism. Perfect...

Jason Aldean just torched the whole encore charade. He said, “I’m not gonna leave the stage, make you beg, then stroll back out like it’s a surprise.” No, sir—he plays it all, drops the mic, and that’s it. Respect. None of this “Oh gee, did you really want to hear ‘Dirt Road Anthem?’” Dude, we know it's coming. This ain’t a magic show. It’s country music, not Criss Angel.

Allegedly, Blake Lively just got booted from Taylor Swift’s inner circle, and she’s forming her own squad—less pop stars, more...whoever’s available. Sources say Taylor’s over the drama, and Blake’s out here auditioning new friends like it’s The Real Housewives of Manhattan. No tears, just a chilled glass of “watch me glow up without you.” The pettiness? Vintage. The revenge arc? Chef’s kiss.

Headed to CMA Fest? Buckle up, honky-tonk hero. First, it's a clear bag only situation—so unless your purse is see-through like your ex’s promises, leave it at home. Ditch the cowboy boots too unless you’re into blisters and bad decisions. Oh, and plot twist—you don’t have to pay to see music. There’s free music all over the place. It’s like Coachella, but with more denim and less judgment.

Welcome to The List,

Things just keep going so well for Meghan Markle, She tried to book Dolly Parton for her Netflix show With Love, Meghan... and Dolly’s team basically said, “Bless your heart, but no thanks.” Apparently, they didn’t want to “risk Dolly’s reputation” by being associated with Meghan. Basically: we're not trading rhinestones for royal drama, sweetie.

Lainey Wilson owns well over a thousand pairs of bell-bottoms. A new pair for every show—for the past 15 years. Meanwhile, Luke Combs is out here reppin' the Columbia fishing shirt like it’s couture. One of them’s living in a fashion show, the other’s living in a Bass Pro Shop catalog. It’s all about balance…

-----

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s youngest daughter Audrey is stepping into the music biz, and the parents are all in their feelings. Word is, she looks and sounds exactly like Faith. So basically, they’ve created a clone with vocal cords—and now they’re just trying not to cry through every rehearsal. Adorable and mildly terrifying.

Mike Flanagan is remaking Carrie AGAIN—this time as an 8-part Prime Video series. Yes, again. Carrie’s had more reboots than Batman at this point. Summer H. Howell is our new blood-soaked prom queen, and production starts this summer. No release date yet, but don't worry... she’ll be back. She always comes back.
