Welcome to The List,
Lainey Wilson is a sucker for ‘throw backs” ‘Whether it’s a song or it’s clothes, whatever it is. I feel like, things that are throwback come with a good story and I think that’s why I love country music so much. So, Yeah, fresh but familiar.”
Do you ever wonder what goes into making a good song? Ask Dierks Bentley “The one’s that are more personal to you, the more personal you can make it, a lot of time that’ll make it more universally accepted. But, it has to be mixed in with the right hook, and melody and lyrics that touch your heart. You just have to trust your gut when you hear something and know something and believe in it and hope other people feel the same way about it as you do.”

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.
