Welcome to The List,

Being star struck…it happens…when you meet Kenny Chesney or  Luke Combs, or Garth…it EVEN happens to the stars!! Take Carrie Underwood for example. In an interview she talked about HER moment…” Janet Jackson blew me a kiss, I was looking around to see who like who she…my friend who was with me was like blow one back!  I was like I froze!!! Now the moments passed, and it would be weird if I’m just over there like just waving or something like a weirdo.” The self-proclaimed ‘home body’ says she would never get out if it weren’t for her husband…so if you’re ever in Nashville try not to be to star struck!

Shark Week!! It’s back on Discovery, kicks off Sunday July 24^th .  The 34^th annual Shark week has for the FIRST TIME EVER a master of ceremonies Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.  Some of this year's crazier-sounding Shark Week specials include "Jaws vs. Kraken","Pigs vs. Shark", and "Mechashark Love Down Under".  No word on if there’s any of the Sharknado movies.

Tim McGraw says he is working on his 16^th studio album. Billboard magazine quotes him as saying, "I'm in the middle of it. I've probably mixed eight so far and will record a few more soon. I’m sure we’ll have something off the new album here before too long. I don’t know when the album will drop."

It seems Walker Hayes is ALWAYS on Tik Tok or doing some kind of dance video with his kids…that’s something you’ll NEVER see Country Star Randy Houser doing.  Saying he HATES the idea of posting stuff on TikTok just to go viral.  He’s ok with posting on social media, one look at his Instagram and you’ll see he does it all the time..but draws the line at Tik Tok.

Olympian Simone Biles was mistaken for a child on her flight home after receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom.  A flight attendant even tried giving her a coloring book.  Probably because she's 4-foot-8.

Yeah,  Sounds hilarious!
