Welcome to The List,

Disney just dropped a hundred million dollars yes, million for Taylor Swift’s new Eras Tour documentaries. Netflix and Amazon tried to throw their wallets at her too, but Disney won the bidding war by giving her total creative control and ownership. They didn’t just buy a concert film — they bought a piece of history. Taylor’s not just a singer anymore… she’s a full-blown empire, and Disney just paid the toll to enter the kingdom.

Yesterday we told you about Reid Perry from The Band Perry well, that’s officially the end of the band as we knew it. Reid just quit, leaving big sis Kimberly Perry and her boyfriend Johnny Costello as the only two left standing. The original trio was Kimberly, Reid, and their younger brother Neil who was already replaced by Johnny earlier this year. So now, it’s basically “The Band Kim and Johnny.” Doesn’t quite roll off the tongue, does it?

Here we go again Super Bowl halftime drama! Fans are furious that Bad Bunny’s headlining this year and want him replaced with George Strait. There’s even a petition with over 4,500 signatures saying the show should “honor American culture.” Meanwhile, Bad Bunny’s like, “You’ve got four months to learn Spanish.” Yeah, no..not going to do that…

Eric Church is taking country to the big screen with his new IMAX concert film, Evangeline vs. The Machine. It’s him, a full band, a horn section, and a choir because subtlety’s overrated. It hits theaters February 13th, 2026, just in time for Valentine’s weekend. Nothing says romance like surround sound, whiskey, and Eric Church belting “Springsteen” so loud your popcorn starts vibrating.

Welcome to The List,

Nicole Kidman’s stepping straight into her villain era! Sources say she’s plotting a little “revenge dating” after her split from Keith Urban and her friends are lining up young, hot distractions while she pretends she’s “not ready for anything serious.” Sure, Nicole, we’ve all said that before sending a 2 a.m. “u up?” text. She’s keeping it classy… for now. But if you really want revenge, don’t settle for a model  go back and date Tom Cruise. That’ll break the internet and possibly the Richter scale.

Taylor Swift is in full “wedding world domination” mode already planning the vows, menu, and probably the next double-platinum album: Till Death Do Us Chart. Word is she’s inviting 300 A-list guests to a top-secret location that’ll drop last-minute. Because nothing says “true love” like a classified wedding itinerary. But hey, when your ex-list is longer than a CVS receipt, you’ve earned one perfect wedding. Get ready, Swifties the royal wedding of pop is officially loading.

Russell Dickerson is living his best life his single “Happen to Me” just hit number one, and fans are calling it RussellMania! The tour’s wild, the crowds are losing their minds, and the man’s bouncing around like he main-lined Red Bull and sunshine. Honestly, if confidence were cardio, he’d be ripped. Russell’s proven you don’t need pyro or dancers just a killer hook, tight jeans, and enough charm to make the crowd scream your name.

-----

It’s official Reid Perry’s leaving The Band Perry to become an artist manager. The family group chat just got real quiet. That leaves Kimberly Perry flying solo and honestly, she’s giving Beyoncé “I’m better alone” energy. So now The Band Perry is just… The Band Adjacent. Family drama aside, the music lives on and you know the breakup ballad is already halfway written.

Welcome to The List,

Looks like the Dancing With the Stars crew got their wish! Insiders say everyone was “quietly relieved” when Hilaria Baldwin got voted off. Apparently, she took every rehearsal like it was the Olympics demanding perfection, filming everything, and driving poor Gleb her dancing partner nuts. She worked hard, but let’s be honest, the show’s a lot more fun now that the drama’s left the ballroom.

Someone in Hoboken, New Jersey turned Taylor Swift’s dating history into a Halloween yard display called the “Graveyard of Heartbreak.” It’s got tombstones for Harry, Joe, John, Jake, Matty, and Joe again but not every ex made the cut. I guess tombstones aren’t cheap when you’ve dated half of Hollywood. Oh, and yes there’s a skeleton Travis Kelce proposing to a skeleton Taylor. Too real.

-----

Eric Church just proved the “Clark Kent” effect is real. Before his show Friday night, he walked around the arena with no sunglasses and only one person recognized him! All it took was ditching the shades, and suddenly, The Chief became just some tall guy in a ball cap. Who knew the man’s biggest disguise was… eyeballs?

Sad news from Hollywood actress Diane Keaton has passed away at 79. The Oscar winner was a legend with a career full of hits: Annie Hall, The Godfather trilogy, The First Wives Club, Something’s Gotta Give, and Father of the Bride. One of the most iconic leading ladies of all time her charm and wit will be missed.
