Welcome to The List,
Taylor Swift’s wedding guest list is already causing drama, and we’re not even at the cake yet. Apparently, Kim Kardashian is a hard no after all that Kanye chaos. Sources say Taylor wants zero bad vibes on her big day. Which honestly makes sense, nobody wants awkward small talk at the open bar. Moral of the story, bring a gift… not baggage.

Megan Moroney just proved pre-show routines don’t have to be all zen and candles. She says it’s loud, messy, and basically a backstage sleepover. Music blasting, friends everywhere, chaos level high. Because if it gets too serious, she starts overthinking everything. So yeah, sometimes the best prep is just controlled madness.

Jo Dee Messina is leveling up her tour snacks. Gone are the soda and basic chicken, hello protein everything. We’re talking shakes, bars, Quest chips, hydration. And yes, still a glass of wine because balance matters. Fitness goals…
-----
Julia Roberts might be heading back to rom-com land, and fans are ready. She and Richard Gere have said no to Pretty Woman 2. But a fresh romantic comedy reunion is back on the table. Because sometimes you just need that classic chemistry again.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
