Welcome to The List,
Taylor Swift’s concert film, “The Eras Tour”, premieres October 13th at AMC Theatres. It’s already earned $10 million in ticket presales. It has so much hype that Universal moved the release of “The Exorcist: Believer” so it doesn’t have to compete.

This summer, a LOT of people got a kick out of the #Barbenheimer meme, which went viral as “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” opened on the same day. And one of those people was: Barbera Oppenheimer, a 68-year-old grandma in Massachusetts. That IS her real name . . .

Famous people with kids will tell you they HAVE to hire nannies because they’re so darn busy. Well, maybe that’s just an excuse. Luke Combs and his wife are expecting their second child very soon. He says the plan is to raise the kids without nannies and give them a real home life. Quote, “I’d rather them be riding bikes than riding a tour bus.”

If I asked you to name the worst job you’ve ever had AND the most boring job you’ve ever had . . . would they be the same? They were for Jon Pardi. He punched the timeclock at a grocery store when he was 15 and hated when they “sent him down the aisles to pull cans and turn ’em around.”

Labor Day reminds Nate Smith of his very first job, which was working on an alfalfa field where he moved pipes in the morning to make sure everything got watered properly. As for Labor Day weekend, he says, quote, “That just means a lot of drinking. Party on.”

And lastly, Contact Music reports Halle Berry was doing an Instagram chat with fans when she vowed to fight aging…get in line girl! She says she’s of course aging but she’s going down swingin…
You can catch The List, weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
Welcome to The List,
Keith Urban is reportedly planning a Bahamas getaway with Nicole Kidman and their daughters to reconnect as a family. Because nothing fixes family tension like sunshine, ocean views, and drinks with tiny umbrellas. Sources say the Bahamas is neutral territory, not tied to Nashville, LA, or lawyers.

AJ McLean says it’s time for a ‘90s pop Super Bowl halftime show featuring Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, NSYNC, and 98 Degrees. Basically, he wants the halftime show to look like your middle school dance playlist. And honestly, I’m not mad. One “Bye Bye Bye” dance break and half of America is throwing out a knee.
-----
Megan Moroney is doing something shocking in 2026…charging affordable ticket prices. Her new “Cloud 9” pop-up tour is nine shows in nine cities for just nine bucks a ticket. Nine dollars. That’s less than a beer, less than parking, and definitely less than your emotional support concert hoodie.
-----
Hollywood legend Robert Duvall has passed at 95, and Tim McGraw paid tribute to his Tender Mercies co-star and friend. Tim said they even texted each other over the years about movies and memories. Which is wild, because somewhere out there was Robert Duvall…just casually texting Tim McGraw like, “Hey man, Tender Mercies is on again.”
You can catch The List weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
