Welcome to The List,
What do YOU think of Eric Church cancelling a concert to watch the Final Four this Saturday….Jason Aldean is weighing in…“I feel like people buying a ticket to come see your show, you have to hold up, you know you’re in the deal on that. I don’t think I would feel good if I did that so I don’t think I could pull it off.” Adding he understands somewhat were he’s coming from he just doesn’t think he could do it. What do YOU think of all this? Go to our Facebook Fan Page at Iowa’s Best Country KIX 101.1 and leave a comment. Look for the ‘Cancelled Show’ pic and tell us what you think?

Thomas Rhett is nominated for a Grammy for his song, ‘Country Again’. He says winning a Grammy for this song would be really special. “I don’t know, maybe the stars have aligned on this one. But, this one in particular would be very special to win.” This was a song he wrote during the middle of the pandemic and never thought it would see the light of day…Thomas Rhett’s new album ‘Where We Started’ comes out today

One last thing about the Eric Church Cancellation…Bud Light will be buying a round of beer at the River Walk in San Antonio on Saturday at 8:00 P.M. That’s the exact day and time the canceled Eric Church concert was supposed to happen.

The guy who produced the Oscars says the LAPD was ready to arrest Will for battery, and laid out various options to Chris, but he kept telling them no. TMZ is reporting that 66 viewers felt compelled to fire off emails to the FCC regarding the violence they witnessed on the Oscars…I guess some parents had some uncomfortable conversations with children that were watching.

Welcome to The List,
Keith Urban just gave fans exactly what they’ve been begging for. His brand-new live album “High And A(live)” is officially out now, recorded straight from the High And Alive World Tour. You get 11 number-one hits, plus his cover of “You Get What You Give.” This isn’t a watered-down live album either it’s basically front-row energy without paying arena prices.

Brad Paisley just confessed what every guy already knows… he’s a last-minute Christmas shopper. Brad says he ends up at the mall on December 24th, panic-buying gifts he doesn’t fully understand. He admits it’s a waste of what should be a fun day, but somehow he still does it every year. Buying mystery gifts and hoping for the best… truly a man of the people.

Cher is catching heat for allegedly lip-syncing during her Saturday Night Live performance. Some fans compared it to Ashlee Simpson’s infamous 2004 moment which feels a little dramatic. Cher is 79 years old, it’s a taped show, and lip-syncing has been happening on SNL longer than the cold open.

Jake Paul revealed he had surgery after getting knocked out by Anthony Joshua. He says doctors had to install two titanium plates on each side of his jaw and remove some teeth. Jake says the surgery went well, but he’s on liquids only for seven days. Nothing humbles a YouTuber faster than being on a smoothie diet.

Welcome to The List,
Mike Tyson says he’s open to a rematch with Jake Paul after Jake’s recent loss to Anthony Joshua. Tyson claims this time he’s cracked the code on training, saying he went too hard before and “left most of the fight in the gym.” RadarOnline says Mike thinks a smarter camp would change everything. Which is wild, because the man is still Mike Tyson. If this happens, somebody hide the ear protection… literally.

Taylor Swift reportedly used to be hesitant about dating athletes until Travis Kelce showed up. A source says her mom encouraged her to give Travis a chance, and now Taylor’s outlook has completely changed. Not only that, insiders claim the relationship has boosted the Chiefs’ global presence. Turns out the tight end also unlocked international brand expansion.

Lainey Wilson told CMT she stays grounded by remembering where she came from. She said it’s about planting your feet, knowing who you are, standing up for what you believe in, and keeping your people close. Which explains why she can win everything, host award shows, and still sound like the most normal human in Nashville.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are reportedly still neighbors in Nashville as they focus on co-parenting their daughters. Nicole stays in the family home, Keith lives nearby, and they’re even spotted shopping at the same stores…just separately. A source says their dedication to the kids is unwavering. Awkward? Maybe.
