Welcome to The List,
Elle King has found that when the iron strikes…it strikes. Speaking about her number one hit with Miranda Lambert…she NEVER thought it would make the mark it has….“Never in a million years would I have ever thought that a song that I wrote when I was about 24 years old would ever have the life that it has. But for that song to go to number one means absolutely everything in the world to me. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I love you. I’m not going anywhere. I’m in country Elle King’s here to stay.”

Here’s something that might curl in your noodle…When Mitchell Tenpenny was young, he played drums in a hardcore Metal band. His mother supported him, because . . . moms. And then he grew up. In college he focused on acoustic guitar and songwriting. Mom didn’t have to pretend about liking that. The first time he played her one of his songs she started tearing up and crying, tears of joy of course because he wasn’t playing all that screaming Metal 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. 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.
