Welcome to The List,
Dierks Bentley received a Star on the Music City Walk of Fame. He jokes that his career has peaked. But for him, what song put him on his career path “When I was 17 my buddy Jack Brown, played me two songs one was Hank Jr’s ‘Man To Man’ which totally blew all the circuits in my brain. One was Marty Stewart ‘That’s Country’. Those two songs back-to-back, just totally, I just can even describe the certainty of knowing what I wanted to do.” So there were TWO songs and is it surprising at all that one of those was a Hank Jr song….

Today is the opening day for Baseball!!!…Brett Young always wanted to be a Baseball player…“Baseball was kind of always going to be the path for me since I was little. There started being professional scouts at games about junior year of high school, but I still made the decision to go to college instead. Baseball clearly wasn’t the plan for me.” Tonight you can catch The Cincinnati Reds taking on the Atlanta Braves on the Braves’ home terf on ESPN 2

Jada Pinkett Smith’s ex-boyfriend, August Alsina, is writing a memoir. Publishers are offering him a six-figure deal to talk about his relationship with Jada. Meanwhile, Will Smith’s biggest fear is that he is going to be canceled because he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars. He’s seeing many of his future movie rolls and projects being put on hold and there’s nothing he can do about it. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will meet April 8th to discuss possible sanctions for Will.

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.
