Welcome to The List,

Luke Combs says Garth Brooks just casually bought him a Ford Bronco Raptor… for singing ONE song at the Songwriters Hall of Fame. ONE! Luke thought his manager was giving him his own car, but nope “Surprise, it’s from Garth.” Meanwhile, I can’t even get my neighbor to loan me his lawnmower without leaving a $20 security deposit.

So apparently Travis Kelce regrets partying with Taylor Swift after losing the Super Bowl last year. Sources say all that spotlight and distraction messed with his focus and now he’s laser-focused on getting that edge back. Basically he realized you can’t win rings if you’re too busy making friendship bracelets with the Swifties.

Big win in Texas this weekend the “Band Together Texas” benefit concert raised over 8.5 MILLION dollars for flood relief. Huge! And the moment everyone’s talking about? Cody Johnson belting out “How Great Thou Art.” Goosebumps, tears, and probably a few folks suddenly calling their mama.

Remember Mama June? Yeah, she’s trending again, but not for anything good. She’s bragging online that she never tips more than 5% on DoorDash or Instacart. FIVE percent. She said she paid $176, gave the driver five percent, then complained about a $60 “convenience fee.” First off, drivers aren’t showing up to your house for a slice of pizza crust and a pat on the back, Mama!

Welcome to The List,

Geo TV says Sean 'Diddy' Combs is allegedly considering pursuing a law degree. An insider reveals he believes his legal strategy helped dismantle the case against him.  An insider told the outlet, "He thinks he's got a legal mind. He's convinced that his strategy is what helped dismantle the case. He wants the degree, the title – and the power that comes with it. Diddy doesn't just want to beat the system. He wants to own it.’’ THIS is what we call “Delusions of grandeur”…

Taylor Swift could soon reign supreme in Las Vegas with a record-breaking residency offer. A source reveals, “This isn’t just a residency. This would make her bigger than Elvis in Vegas. She’d own the city. She could sell out months in advance and that’s before international fans book a single flight. This is the crown jewel. If she says yes, she instantly becomes the biggest act the Strip has ever seen.”

Brittany Aldean had one of those “parent weekends from hell”  waiting hours at Urgent Care with her six-year-old daughter Navy, only to be told, “Yep, it’s just a virus, let it run its course.” Navy spiked a scary fever, but she’s already bouncing back even made it to a pool day with her brother Memphis. Brittany posted the whole saga with a sarcastic thumbs up and a wine glass, because let’s be honest… every parent’s been there. Oh, and the Aldean kids? Back to school Memphis in second grade, Navy starting first!

You don’t usually expect a Brad Paisley show to come with a lightning special effect but that’s what fans got in Florida when Mother Nature struck the stage not once, but twice! Mid-song, Paisley’s mic fried, the giant LED screen went full “Poltergeist,” and the crowd jumped out of their boots. Even Floridians  who eat thunderstorms for breakfast flinched at that second strike. Brad’s “Truck Still Works” tour? Yeah, but the sound system sure didn’t for a few minutes.

The List,

 “CAT FIGHT!! Meghan Markle thought she was about to own the internet with her Netflix trailer ‘With Love, Meghan’. And she might’ve… until Taylor Swift came in like a rhinestoned wrecking ball and dropped her new album news. Sources say Meghan’s convinced this wasn’t just bad timing oh no this was her comeback moment, and Taylor took all the oxygen out of the royal room. Meghan loves being the headline, but this week, she was page two!

“When Blake Shelton was 17, he asked music legend Mae Axton for career advice. She said, ‘Move to Nashville, get a job.’ So, he got a job… painting her house. Which is how he met her son, Hoyt Axton. And Hoyt just casually shows him a little song he wrote called ‘Ol’ Red’. That’s like going to mow somebody’s lawn and they hand you the recipe for Chick-fil-A chicken! Total life-changer.”

-----

“Sure, Willie Nelson is famous for puff-puff-passing, but did you know he’s also a fifth-degree black belt in GongKwon Yusul and a second-degree in Taekwondo? Luke Combs once saw it firsthand; he's at Willie’s compound in Maui, they’re playing poker, and Willie walks out, full Karate Kid mode, crane-kicking a punching bag at 84 years old… then just sits back down like nothing happened.

-----

“A 1978 Luke Skywalker action figure with a double-telescoping lightsaber, yeah, it’s as cool as it sounds is up for auction. Experts say it could sell for between $100,000 and $200,000 because it’s one of the rarest ‘Star Wars’ toys ever made. Current bid? Twenty-four grand. Somewhere out there, a grown man in Jedi robes is checking his couch cushions for loose change.”
