Welcome to The List,
Over the weekend, we learned the Aaron Carter the younger brother of Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys was found dead in his bathtub Saturday morning…as of yet still no word on the cause. At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony this weekend, Dolly Parton was inducted and shared a microphone with Judas Priest singer Rob Halford which by it’s self is a show stopper.

Here’s a turn…Carrie Underwood’s fans will be furious if she doesn’t win CMA Entertainer of the Year [EOTY] on Wednesday. Country Now was checking social media posts and found this from a fan, quote, “EOTY or we riot.” Let’s hope they’re kidding. Carrie is up against Morgan Wallen, Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs, and Miranda Lambert.

George Strait was at Saturday’s World Series game. He signed a bunch of autographs, and there’s a pic of him GETTING an autograph from Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. He also did the traditional “Play ball” call before the game.

Black Adam is the number one movie in the country again…that make THREE weeks in a row…followed by some other movie…I just can seem to remember what they were…

Luke Bryan is going to join the Monday Night Football broadcast on ESPN tonight. He will talk with Peyton and Eli Manning and promote the CMA Awards, which take place on Wednesday on ABC.

Welcome to The List,
Lainey Wilson's getting her own exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame called “Tough as Nails.” It opens July 18th and runs through next June. From Louisiana farm girl to CMA queen — it’s like Cinderella, but with bell bottoms and a banjo.

Dolly Parton just roasted the real-life Jolene like a Thanksgiving turkey. She said, “She’s not so hot now... used to be a D-cup, now she’s in Depends.” I mean, dang Dolly — that wasn't shade, that was a total eclipse.
-----
Word is Travis Kelce is cracking under the pressure of juggling touchdowns and Taylor Swift. He's trying to live two lives: NFL beast by day, Swiftie arm candy by night. And apparently? It’s catching up with him. Rumors say he might hang up the cleats early — or just pass out from exhaustion mid-rom-com marathon.
-----
Troy Aikman just bought a place near Prince Harry and Meghan in Montecito — but don’t expect royal backyard BBQs. Troy says he hasn’t seen 'em, doesn’t plan to, and doubts they’re fans of light beer anyway. Translation: “I live near them, but I ain’t with them.” Iconic.
