Welcome to The List,
The Sun says Carrie Underwood’s future on American Idol is “uncertain.” Basically, She realized L.A. traffic, network execs, and pretending to care about karaoke auditions isn’t worth the Botox. Word is she’s homesick and done with playing Hollywood Barbie. So don’t be shocked if she Carrie-underwhelms us with a dramatic exit.

The Tennessee Board of Parole wants to pardon Jelly Roll’s past felony. Yep, the guy who sounds like a breakfast menu item might soon be squeaky clean on paper! Jelly told the board, “I want to be an inspiration.” And he is—mainly for anyone who thinks face tattoos will ruin your job prospects. Spoiler: They don’t…

Morgan Wallen and Post Malone now have their own plush toys. Because nothing says “bad boy energy” like a $29.99 stuffed version of yourself. TikTok’s Country Plushie is selling them—and no one’s sure if Morgan or Posty even approved. But hey, who needs permission when you’ve got polyester and a dream?

Apparently, Meghan Markle’s podcast is getting the cold shoulder from A-listers. No Beyoncé. No Taylor. Not even a “Who dis?” from Hailey Bieber. A source says the show just isn’t landing. Which is Hollywood-speak for “We’ve all muted her number.” Yikes. Even the phone is like, new number, who Duchess?

Welcome to The List,
Lainey Wilson's getting her own exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame called “Tough as Nails.” It opens July 18th and runs through next June. From Louisiana farm girl to CMA queen — it’s like Cinderella, but with bell bottoms and a banjo.

Dolly Parton just roasted the real-life Jolene like a Thanksgiving turkey. She said, “She’s not so hot now... used to be a D-cup, now she’s in Depends.” I mean, dang Dolly — that wasn't shade, that was a total eclipse.

Word is Travis Kelce is cracking under the pressure of juggling touchdowns and Taylor Swift. He's trying to live two lives: NFL beast by day, Swiftie arm candy by night. And apparently? It’s catching up with him. Rumors say he might hang up the cleats early — or just pass out from exhaustion mid-rom-com marathon.

Troy Aikman just bought a place near Prince Harry and Meghan in Montecito — but don’t expect royal backyard BBQs. Troy says he hasn’t seen 'em, doesn’t plan to, and doubts they’re fans of light beer anyway. Translation: “I live near them, but I ain’t with them.” Iconic.
