The List for Monday, April 11th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Kelsea Ballerini is co-hosting the CMT Awards tonight…she says she isn’t to worried about messing up the hosting…but there IS one things she worries about…“If I mess up reading a prompter, that’s not what I’m great at so that’s ok.  So, I feel less pressure with the talking part, it’s the singing part I’m like if I mess THAT up I’m firing myself!” That could be a little upsetting…The 2022 CMT Awards air tonight on CBS.

The Will Smith Jada Pinkett Smith drama continues as a clip from a past episode of Jada’s ‘Red Table Talk’ internet show has surfaces were Jada confesses she really didn’t want to get married. “When really I just wanted it to be the two of us on a mountain, cause this is serious business.  The wedding was horrible. ”That may answer a lot of questions…like Will being stressed, Jada’s boyfriend etc…

Speaking of the CMT Awards…Kane Brown has four nominations and is the most nominated artist this year. “Feels awesome to be nominated the most nominated artist at CMT’s. I love it for my fans as well because they always have my back and just feels good you know especially to share it with all those artists that we’re going up against so thank you guys.” The CMT Awards are entirely fan-voted.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are engaged again, and this time I just KNOW they’re gonna make it.  Jennifer teased a “major announcement” Saturday on Instagram, pointing fans to her online newsletter, OnTheJLo.com . . . where she posted a video of herself wearing her new engagement ring. It has a green stone with a silver band worth $10 MILLION.  Flowers are so overrated,  They have yet to set a date, but are considering March of 2024 for the divorce.

Congratulations Miranda Lambert and Elle King’s their song Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” has reached Number One on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.  That’s the first solo female duet to top that chart since Reba McEntire and Linda Davis did it in 1993 with Does He Love You”.

Jussie Smollett released a song proclaiming his innocence because that’s convincing.  It’s available on LIE-Tunes.

The List for Thursday, February 5th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Rumors are flying that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have allegedly set a wedding date. A so-called source says the planning is “military-level precise,” which tracks, because Taylor hates surprises and Travis runs NFL playbooks for a living. Pop music, professional football, and Hollywood elite all in one room. Locked down, protected, unforgettable. Basically the most intense group project ever attempted.

-----

Former Bachelor host Chris Harrison is launching a new dating show for people who want a “traditional, marriage-minded partnership built on commitment and shared values.” Which apparently is now considered edgy programming. Somewhere, reality TV just gasped. This is not roses and drama. This is compatibility and emotional maturity.

-----

Before Luke Combs made it big, he had $200 left in his bank account. That money went toward mastering one song, “Hurricane.” He releases it, sells about 10,000 copies the first week, and uses the cash to finish the rest of the album. Then pitches it to labels. And that, kids, is how you bet on yourself and win.

-----

Toby Keith, Kenny Rogers, and Ed Harris are being inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. The ceremony happens in April in Oklahoma City. They’re joining legends like George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Kurt Russell, and Burt Reynolds. That is a hall with serious swagger. Cowboy hats optional. Legends required.

Catch The List, with Jonathan Knight weekday afternoon at 4:20. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
