Welcome to The List,
Zach Top told Bobby Bones the story behind his hit “I Never Lie,” and called it one of his proudest songs. He wrote it with Carson Chamberlain and Tim Nichols after tossing out that opening line. We now have proof that sometimes one simple spark can turn into a career-making fire.

The Star says Taylor Swift is switching up her game plan for the 2025 NFL season. A source says she wants to support Travis Kelce but stay out of the spotlight. Quote: “Neither of them wants their engagement to overshadow the game.” Basically, Taylor doesn’t want Swifties blamed if the Chiefs choke.

Geo TV says Tom Cruise allegedly laid down an ultimatum to girlfriend Ana de Armas: stay away from Ben Affleck. Apparently Ben’s been reaching out, looking for “closure.” But Cruise? He’s territorial. And fellas, you and I both know give a woman an ultimatum, and watch how fast you lose.

Welcome to The List,
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are allegedly hitting a rough patch not over romance, but over the prenup. An insider claims the financial talks are “cold-hearted,” mostly because their bank accounts look like they’re from two different planets. Travis wants to play another season or two and eventually jump into broadcasting, and apparently Taylor’s not thrilled with that plan. The source says there is supposed to be a wedding this offseason… but right now the negotiations look less like love and more like Shark Tank.

Willie Nelson is fed up with the internet declaring him dead every other week and he finally said something. He posted a photo of himself snoozing on a couch with the caption, “If you believe those A.I. death stories one more time.” For months, fake AI posts claimed he collapsed, was hospitalized, or worse. None of it true. Willie’s still here, still laughing, still alive… and more coherent than some of the people posting about him.

Diddy allegedly thinks someone in his own family sold him out after 50 Cent got access to leaked footage for the Netflix documentary ‘The Reckoning’. The footage shows him distressed on a phone call and Diddy is reportedly determined to figure out who leaked it. He believes only family had access to something that sensitive. And after watching parts of the doc myself? Yeah… “eye-opening” is putting it lightly. This story gets messier by the hour.

Luke Combs told ESPN he wants to headline the Super Bowl halftime show and watch his Carolina Panthers win that same game. Bold. Very bold. He said he grew up in Charlotte when the Panthers became a team, so it’s “in his blood.” Look, we love the confidence but asking for a halftime slot and a Panthers Super Bowl victory is what scientists call “a miracle.”
