Welcome to The List,

We start today with sad news from Hollywood. Robert Redford the iconic actor, director, and the man who gave us Sundance has died at the age of 89. A statement says he passed away at his beloved home in Utah, surrounded by family. Redford wasn’t just a movie star, he was a storyteller, an activist, and one of the last true legends of cinema. He will be deeply missed.

So rumor has it Carrie Underwood wants to dust off her acting chops and head back to Hollywood. But here’s the kicker: insiders say it’s less about Oscars and more about one-upping Taylor Swift. Supposedly Carrie wants the satisfaction of doing what Taylor hasn’t— a serious acting role. Their rivalry? Oh, it’s alive and well. Sounds like Hollywood could get a new sequel: “Country Queens: The Petty Years.”

Apparently, Travis Kelce is feeling the heat not just from the defensive line, but from dating Taylor Swift. Sources say every fumble isn’t just a football oops, it’s a global headline. And that pressure’s starting to get to him. Taylor’s worried, she loves him, but even she sees the toll. So, the big question: is the cookie starting to crumble… or are they just baking under the spotlight?

Over the weekend, video popped up of Zach Bryan literally climbing a fence… not to save a cat… but to get to country singer Gavin Adcock. Looked more like a “hold my beer” moment than a good decision. Gavin responded saying Zach was “absolutely wasted” and he had a show to do, plus, “everyone knows how that would’ve ended.” Translation: Zach, buddy, that was not your highlight reel.
