Welcome to the Monday edition of The List, I’m Jonathan Knight,

After two years of marriage…Kacey Musgraves has revealed that she and husband Ruston Kelly have split. The singer and her husband confirmed the news via their representatives on Friday, saying: “With heavy but hopeful hearts we wanted to put our own thoughts into the air about what’s happening. Though we are parting ways in marriage, we will remain true friends for the rest of our lives.”

Maddie & Tae Had A Hard Time Recording ‘Die From A Broken Heart’ … The song has many life experiences they relate to. Maddie cried recording the vocals. “When we put vocals on ‘Die From a Broken Heart’ there are just so many life experiences that we relate to with that song. Even as 23 year old women now, there are times that we are so broken and we call out parents because that’s all you know how to do. But just in the vocal, you can hear..I cried while recording that song because it just…I don’t know It does something, maybe because it was that day it was so fresh and vulnerable. That was a good day but hard…”

Congratulations to Kevin Harvick in his number 4 Ford, taking the checker at the Brickyard yesterday the Big Machine Hand Sanitizer 400…and speaking of NASCAR Jimmie Johnson has tested positive for the virus on Friday. He missed yesterday’s Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway He says, ‘This is not a position I thought I’d find myself in. Where I sit now it’s hopefully keep your guard up. We thought we were very diligent in our household and it still found a way in. I can also expand that testing takes many days to get your results. If you do feel symptomatic, do the right thing. Just stay in, bring your family indoors. This really caught us off guard.” Jimmie and his wife have tested positive for the virus. He feels great and has zero symptoms. Jimmie’s main concern is for his children. They have tested negative for the virus. Jimmie wants everyone to take the coronavirus seriously. Jimmie thought he was being careful.

Kanye West is running for President.

The List for Thursday, April 2nd 2026

Welcome to The List,

Horror fans, buckle up, because nightmare fuel just got a backstory. That creepy Aunt Gladys from Weapons is getting her own prequel. The same witch who basically ruined recess forever. Now we’re diving into her origin story. Cool, cool… just what we needed. Sleep is officially canceled this fall.

-----

ABC went full chaos for April Fool’s Day, announcing Miss Piggy as the next Bachelorette. Twenty-five men competing for love, drama, and probably karate chops. Jesse Palmer hosting, roses flying, egos bruised. And yes, they even joked about criminal records. Finally, a dating show where someone might actually get slapped on night one.

-----

Garth Brooks might be hitting the road, but apparently his nerves got there first. Reports say he’s stressed about touring and not having Trisha by his side. Because even country legends need emotional support spouses. Between legal drama and stage jitters, it’s a lot. Moral of the story, even Garth gets the pre-show butterflies.

-----

Taylor Sheridan says if critics are mad, he’s doing his job right. The guy behind Yellowstone is basically trolling reviewers on purpose. He wants them fired up, writing angry think pieces. Because nothing sells like outrage and cowboy drama. Imagine getting paid to annoy people… oh wait, radio.

The List for Wednesday, April 1st 2026

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??
