Welcome to The List,
Congratulations to all of last nights ACM winners, the big winners of the night Female Artist of the Year Maren Morris, Male Artist of the Year Thomas Rhett and the big one Entertainer of the Year went to an obviously blindsided Luke Bryan who video chatted from L.A. “I go on stage every night, trying to be the best entertainer I can be. Trying to make every body in the crowd in the room sing and love one another, have fun. So, anytime the ACM’s recognizes me for that, it’s a dream come true.”
Gabby Barrett last night to performed her No. 1 single, “The Good Ones,” from Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe. Taking home the ACM New Female Artist of the Year award. She got the news of her award ahead of Sunday night’s show and celebrated the news in a decidedly lowkey way…after getting the news she went back and changed a dirty diaper from Baylah May who was born in January. She’s getting ready to tour this August in support of Thomas Rhett’s Center Point Road Tour.
Alma Wahlberg, mother of actors Mark and Donnie Wahlberg, and a regular on the reality show “Wahlburgers,” has passed. The news was shared on social media on Sunday by both Mark and Donnie on Instagram. The Boston-born mother of nine became a household name thanks to her appearances on the A&E series “Wahlburgers,” about the family’s burgeoning burger chain…she was 78.
Are there changes coming to The Voice…again?? After being the resident country coach for 20 seasons is Blake thinking about moving on? Fans seem to think so. Speculation has been swirling since an interview he did with Hoda Kotb on the TODAY show this month, when he admitted he hoped to leave the entertainment business behind and live a simple life with Gwen. When asked if he saw that happening in about 10 years, he said he’d like to see it sooner than later. The Voice airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC

Join us Thursday during the Drive at Five for ‘At The Movies” brought to you by North Grand Cinema in Ames..
This weekend…check out Netflix and 'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery'
“Wake Up Dead Man” drops Benoit Blanc (Ben-WAH Blanc) into another bonkers billionaire circus where everybody’s lying, nobody’s normal, and the murder victim apparently didn’t stay dead. It’s twisty, messy, and deliciously chaotic.

Stars: Daniel Craig, Mila Kunis and Jeremy Renner
AT THE MOVIES...Thursday’s at 5:40, brought to you by North Grand Cinema in Ames and IBC KIX 101.1….
Welcome to The List,
The Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly going out of their way to respect Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift. They haven’t monetized the romance, they don’t splash her on the big screens, and they don’t blast her music in the stadium. Travis says he appreciates it because when he’s on the field, “it’s all about the team.” Meanwhile, judging by how he’s been playing the last few games… it seems like his mind might be somewhere else. Maybe in a cardigan.

Tim McGraw stunned fans at a recent concert after stepping onstage in skin-tight suede pants with tassels down the sides. Parade Magazine says the Internet responded instantly with commentary like: “Dude raided Lainey Wilson’s closet,” “Lainey Wilson wore them better,” and my favorite — “Lainey McGraw.” I mean… if you’re gonna rock tassels, commit. Somewhere, Faith Hill is lighting a prayer candle.
-----
Jelly Roll just had the moment dreams are made of. While chatting on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Joe played him a recorded message from Craig Morgan officially inviting Jelly to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Jelly immediately broke down in tears. This is the kind of full-circle moment that hits harder than his songs. From jail cells to the Opry… man, that story writes itself.
-----
Sharon Osbourne revealed heartbreaking details about Ozzy’s final night. She said he asked her to kiss him and hold him tight, and that he was incredibly happy in his final weeks thanks to the “Back to the Beginning” concert. Say what you want about the Osbournes… but that man loved his music, loved his fans, and clearly adored Sharon until the very end. That’s a tough one.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
