KIX-KLASH RE-HASH

Thursday 21st August 2025
Welcome to The List,
In case you missed it at the ACMs: Jessie Murph showed up with a literal pig on the red carpet—because why not make “farm glam” a thing? Cody Johnson and his wife announced baby number 3, congrats to them and their future sleepless nights! And some folks thought Kelsea Ballerini was lip-syncing… but maybe her voice is just that smooth? Or maybe it was the pig. Who knows.

Morgan Wallen ditched the ACM Awards to toss a football with Tom Brady. Yup, instead of music’s big night, he played catch with the GOAT and posted it on Instagram like a flex. And even though he had a bunch of nominations, he didn’t win any awards. Coincidence? Probably not. But hey, when Brady calls—you go. Trophies are cool, but Brady’s spiral? Legendary.

Taylor Swift got dragged into a legal mess between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over the movie It Ends With Us. And Tay’s rep basically said, “Yeah… no.” She wasn’t on set, didn’t cast it, didn’t score it, didn’t even see the movie till weeks after it dropped. All she did was license one song. So why the subpoena? Probably just to slap “Taylor Swift” on court documents for clickbait. Next.

Word is Ben Affleck’s feelin’ a little salty that Tom Cruise is dating his ex, Ana de Armas. Sources say Ben’s a jealous guy, and seeing Ana happy with Ethan Hunt is kinda weird for him. But don’t worry—he’s also “happy” for Tom. I mean, who wouldn’t be thrilled to watch their ex fall for a millionaire action star who still does his own stunts at 60? Totally normal feelings….as long as her CURRENT boyfriend doesn’t mind that is….Yeah, she has one….

Welcome to The List,
Luke Combs says Garth Brooks just casually bought him a Ford Bronco Raptor… for singing ONE song at the Songwriters Hall of Fame. ONE! Luke thought his manager was giving him his own car, but nope “Surprise, it’s from Garth.” Meanwhile, I can’t even get my neighbor to loan me his lawnmower without leaving a $20 security deposit.

So apparently Travis Kelce regrets partying with Taylor Swift after losing the Super Bowl last year. Sources say all that spotlight and distraction messed with his focus and now he’s laser-focused on getting that edge back. Basically he realized you can’t win rings if you’re too busy making friendship bracelets with the Swifties.

Big win in Texas this weekend the “Band Together Texas” benefit concert raised over 8.5 MILLION dollars for flood relief. Huge! And the moment everyone’s talking about? Cody Johnson belting out “How Great Thou Art.” Goosebumps, tears, and probably a few folks suddenly calling their mama.
-----
Remember Mama June? Yeah, she’s trending again, but not for anything good. She’s bragging online that she never tips more than 5% on DoorDash or Instacart. FIVE percent. She said she paid $176, gave the driver five percent, then complained about a $60 “convenience fee.” First off, drivers aren’t showing up to your house for a slice of pizza crust and a pat on the back, Mama!
