Welcome to The List,
Taylor Swift allegedly regrets ever meeting Blake Lively—ouch. Word is, Tay’s done playing nice now that Blake’s dragged her into this Justin Baldoni lawsuit mess. Apparently, she and Travis think Blake and Ryan tried to use her in their drama. Taylor saw the red flags and said, “BYE bestie,” like it was a bad sequel to It Ends With Us. Savage.

Jennifer Lopez allegedly wants a Regular Joe after divorcing Ben Affleck. Like, a blue-collar guy who’s “secure in himself.” Awww. So basically, she’s looking for someone who owns a lunchbox and doesn’t have a Hollywood ego? That’s cute. But real talk… was Ben the diva in this relationship? ‘Cause this sounds like she’s throwing some serious construction-site shade.

Morgan Wallen’s grandma—Mamaw Kay—is the real star now. She says Morgan still won’t cuss in front of her, she calls him Mogi (adorable), and his fave dish is her corn. But best part? She claims Morgan got his crazy from HER side of the family. So if Mogi ever flips a stage or dates another pop star, blame Mamaw Kay and her spicy corn casserole.

Kenny Chesney played The Sphere in Vegas—it’s a residency and yes, it’s a huge deal. He was just chillin’ at a Jimmy Buffett tribute show when a buddy told him, “You should be the first country act at the Sphere.” And Kenny was like, “Heck yeah!” Now he’s bringing all the beachy vibes, heartbreak hits, and probably a truckload of tequila to the most high-tech venue on Earth.

Welcome to The List,
Shaboozey tells People magazine that his Nigerian parents shaped his hustle. His dad worked menial jobs in the U.S. after hardships in Africa, and his mom—who wasn't a fan of his music dream—now joins him onstage. From skeptical to stage mom? That’s a full-circle flex.

Rachel Brosnahan found out she was playing Lois Lane… in a public bathroom. She got a call from “Maybe James Gunn”—and prayed a toilet didn’t flush during the big moment. Honestly? That’s the most relatable superhero origin story I’ve ever heard.
-----
Allegedly, Kim Kardashian felt overshadowed by Sydney Sweeney at Jeff Bezos’ wedding—like invisible-level ignored. She had her eyes on Tom Brady, but he only had eyes for Sydney. Now Kim’s spiraling, thinking four kids and a 40-something birthday might be killing her ‘It Girl’ vibe. Spoiler: it’s not the kids, Kim.
-----
Dolly Parton is out here defying the laws of music and gravity—she just dropped a duet with Motley Crue. Yeah, THAT Motley Crue. They re-did “Home Sweet Home” for its 40th anniversary, and boom—it’s now #1 on the Classic Rock chart. Dolly said country roads? Nah, we’re taking the rock highway now!
