Welcome to The List,
Tom Brady can’t catch a break even his card shop got sacked. A guy in lower Manhattan strolled into Brady’s store called ‘Card Vault’, convinced an employee he’d paid, and walked out with ten grand in baseball and Pokémon cards. Brady’s an investor, so technically… it’s his biggest loss since that Super Bowl with the Eagles. NYPD’s on it maybe check eBay for “slightly deflated Pikachu.”

Jackson Dean told CMT he’s addicted to his morning coffee. He says he loves getting up early, brewing a cup, and sitting outside before the day starts. So basically, Jackson’s just like the rest of us except his view doesn’t include a barking neighbor and an overgrown lawn.

Apparently, AC/DC’s concert in Melbourne literally moved the earth just not as much as Taylor Swift did. Scientists recorded minor quakes during their show, but Taylor’s Eras Tour shook the same stadium even harder. Moral of the story? Rock might roll, but Swifties bring the seismic drama.

Lainey Wilson played a little country “superlatives” game, and her answers were chef’s kiss. She said Miranda Lambert’s the one most likely to own a peacock, Zach Top would be the first to go streaking, and Ella Langley would crush a hot dog eating contest. So basically, the next CMT Awards just became a county fair.

Welcome to The List,
Meghan Markle allegedly thought she could jump the royal line. A new book claims she believed she should be queen next. Said she was smarter, better, and worked harder than Kate. That’s not confidence, that’s skipping the entire family tree.

Two Blackhawk helicopters hovering over Kid Rock’s house raised eyebrows fast. Army pilots got suspended while the investigation played out. Then the Defense Secretary stepped in and shut it down. Suspensions lifted, no punishment, case closed just like that.
-----
Keith Urban might be ready to say a little more. A report claims he felt iced out of Nicole Kidman’s interview. She talked family and life but didn’t mention him once. Now there’s talk he could finally tell his side. Nothing says romance like a possible press tour response.

And if you saw Jason Aldean storm off Colbert… relax. That viral story is completely made up from top to bottom. Wrong show name, bad details, zero credible sources behind it. The internet really said “let’s just create chaos today.” Moral of the story, not everything trending is actually true…I know…surprise right??
