Welcome to The List,
In case you missed it at the ACMs: Jessie Murph showed up with a literal pig on the red carpet—because why not make “farm glam” a thing? Cody Johnson and his wife announced baby number 3, congrats to them and their future sleepless nights! And some folks thought Kelsea Ballerini was lip-syncing… but maybe her voice is just that smooth? Or maybe it was the pig. Who knows.

Morgan Wallen ditched the ACM Awards to toss a football with Tom Brady. Yup, instead of music’s big night, he played catch with the GOAT and posted it on Instagram like a flex. And even though he had a bunch of nominations, he didn’t win any awards. Coincidence? Probably not. But hey, when Brady calls—you go. Trophies are cool, but Brady’s spiral? Legendary.

Taylor Swift got dragged into a legal mess between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over the movie It Ends With Us. And Tay’s rep basically said, “Yeah… no.” She wasn’t on set, didn’t cast it, didn’t score it, didn’t even see the movie till weeks after it dropped. All she did was license one song. So why the subpoena? Probably just to slap “Taylor Swift” on court documents for clickbait. Next.

Word is Ben Affleck’s feelin’ a little salty that Tom Cruise is dating his ex, Ana de Armas. Sources say Ben’s a jealous guy, and seeing Ana happy with Ethan Hunt is kinda weird for him. But don’t worry—he’s also “happy” for Tom. I mean, who wouldn’t be thrilled to watch their ex fall for a millionaire action star who still does his own stunts at 60? Totally normal feelings….as long as her CURRENT boyfriend doesn’t mind that is….Yeah, she has one….

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.
