Welcome to The List,
The best moments for an artist, if you ask them, may say it was the first time they got on stage…the energy they felt from the audience…others may say the first award or first number one single…but Luke Bryan HE has a few… “The top three moments in my career musically I would say is when I got my record deal, winning Entertainer of the Year from the ACMs and CMAs and probably first time I got to play on the Grand Ole Opry.” Luke just turned 45 Saturday, if you want to see how they celebrated ‘on the road’ you can check out their Instagram his wife Caroline documented the whole thing…
Dolly Parton had reason to celebrate this week, as her Netflix holiday film, Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square, earned two nominations at the 2021 Emmy Awards. The film, which was released in November, was nominated for Outstanding Television Movie and Outstanding Choreography for Scripted Programming.
Garth Brooks played a concert for 900 fans at a Salt Lake City dive bar on Friday. He wanted to warm up for his Saturday night show at Rice-Eccles Stadium…The man needs to drop in somewhere here in KIX Country
”Space Jam: A New Legacy” topped the box office over the weekend and that has director Malcolm D. Lee thinking about ANOTHER Space Jam movie only THIS time with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson!! He says it’ll be different…we’re not exactly what the skill set would be. Maybe he goes back to wrestling that might be interesting.
Get out the poodle skirts and hair cream A new Grease prequel series, is in the works ”Rise Of The Pink Ladies”, is going to stream on Paramount+ in the near future
Good Will Hunting is one of Matt Damon’s most beloved films, he tells CBS Sunday Morning that his 15-year-old daughter, Isabella, refuses to watch it. “You know, my 15-year-old refuses to see it. She doesn’t want to see any movies that I’m in that she thinks might be good.”. “My daughter said, ‘Yeah, remember that movie you did, The Wall?’ I said, ‘It was called The Great Wall.’ She goes, ‘Dad there’s nothing great about that movie,’ ouch!!

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.
