The List for Tuesday, March 17th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Carrie Underwood has a regret bigger than bad bangs. She says during American Idol, she barely took photos. Now fans show up wearing outfits she once auctioned. She literally tried buying her own jeans back. Carrie says document everything, even denim.

-----

Ella Langley just tied Taylor Swift. Yes, THAT Taylor. Her song Choosin’ Texas ruled the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs at the same time. Both women logged three massive weeks at number one. Texas apparently chooses chart domination.

-----

Oscar night chaos went fully Hollywood fever dream. Sean Penn skipped awards to visit Ukraine instead. Michael B. Jordan reportedly celebrated with In-N-Out burgers. Timothée Chalamet allegedly coached sister on Kylie manners. Hollywood remains beautifully weird as ever.

-----

Jennifer Lopez rumor mill just hit turbo mode. Sources say she’s eyeing romance with Bad Bunny. She believes the pairing could boost her popularity. She also feels proud of his Puerto Rican success. Love or marketing plan, you decide…This womans love life has more ups and downs than a yo-yo.

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

Stanley 3/17/26

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK IS STANLEY!!Stanley was found outside and brought to the shelter. He’s a sweet, gentle boy who is still a little unsure of his new surroundings, so he may be a bit shy at first. With some patience and kindness, Stanley will start to feel more comfortable and show his loving personality.

He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, FIV/FeLV tested, and microchipped, and he’s ready to find a calm home where he can settle in and blossom. Since Stanley is the KIX Critter his adoption fee is only $25.00!!
