Welcome to The List,
Thomas Rhett says 2020 helped him slow down and appreciate what was in front of him. “This is the priority, my family, my babies like just kinda soak in these moments. That’s kinda where ‘Country Again’ the concept of that song come from. It really meant, how do I live simply again.”’ Country Again’ is available NOW on his ‘Side A’ album.
Mothers day is just around the corner and Blake Shelton says he doesn’t know where he would be today without his. “When she saw that I was becoming interested in music, I was singing in my room all the time she started talking me into performing in pageants and talent contests.” And look where those pageants got him…”Sexiest man alive.”
Mila Kunis says she and Ashton Kutcher started planting corn during the pandemic, “So, we didn’t plant an entire field of corn, because we won’t be able to harvest it. We’re like the Beverly Hillbillies of LA. ”Mila jokes that she planted the corn simply because it looked pretty.
Tomorrow is Star Wars Day. The Wrap says ESPN is planning a Star Wars-themed broadcast of their game between the New York Yankees and Houston Astros. The announcers will be dressed in Star Wars costumes. The broadcast will feature Star Wars graphics and music.

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.

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.
