Welcome to The List –
Somebody’s having a birthday!! The Grand Ole Opry celebrates its 95th birthday next month, and the famed institution is marking the occasion with a television special hosted by two of country music’s biggest stars. Brad Paisley and Blake Shelton. Grand Ole Opry: 95 Years of Country Music, is a two-hour special that will air Sunday, Feb. 14 at 8 p.m. on NBC.
Luke Bryan On “Down To One” is currently at number 2 on the Country Music Charts and looking to take over as his 26 number one. First time I heard it — it’s written by one of my dear friends, Dallas Davidson, who I’ve had a lot of success with as a co-writer with through the years — it just sounds like a big ole hit. Guy and a girl out there, in the middle of nowhere enjoying a moment together, a romantic moment, and I always feel like you gotta have those on an album.”
Is Kanye going for it in 2024? Hollywoodlife.com thinks so. They’re reporting Kanye West will start thinking about a 2024 Presidential run in the next several days. A source tells the website, He’s working and focusing on music right now. The next time he wants to be in the White House is with him being the president himself.
The National Enquirer claims Chris Hemsworth and Jason Momoa are allegedly feuding as both are filming new movies in Australia. A source tells the magazine, “They both have huge egos, and they’ve been sniping at each other since Jason has been making himself comfortable on Chris’ home turf in Australia. Now things are getting a little personal. Chris has gotten a little miffed of all the attention Jason’s gotten in his own backyard.”

Welcome to The List,
Rumors are flying that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have allegedly set a wedding date. A so-called source says the planning is “military-level precise,” which tracks, because Taylor hates surprises and Travis runs NFL playbooks for a living. Pop music, professional football, and Hollywood elite all in one room. Locked down, protected, unforgettable. Basically the most intense group project ever attempted.

Former Bachelor host Chris Harrison is launching a new dating show for people who want a “traditional, marriage-minded partnership built on commitment and shared values.” Which apparently is now considered edgy programming. Somewhere, reality TV just gasped. This is not roses and drama. This is compatibility and emotional maturity.

Before Luke Combs made it big, he had $200 left in his bank account. That money went toward mastering one song, “Hurricane.” He releases it, sells about 10,000 copies the first week, and uses the cash to finish the rest of the album. Then pitches it to labels. And that, kids, is how you bet on yourself and win.

Toby Keith, Kenny Rogers, and Ed Harris are being inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. The ceremony happens in April in Oklahoma City. They’re joining legends like George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Kurt Russell, and Burt Reynolds. That is a hall with serious swagger. Cowboy hats optional. Legends required.
