Welcome to The List,
Today we start with Russell Dickerson as he talks about his country roots and how he was brought up in country music. “Being raised on country like old Garth Brooks is what I was raised on. The first time I sang in public was in my fourth-grade talent show, singing ‘Standing Outside The Fire’. So, obviously country is my roots.” Russell has released ‘Studio 900 Sessions’ which are his songs with a new spin on them stripped back to THEIR roots you can check it out on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes or wherever you stream music.

Keanu Reeves was on last night with Stephen Colbert…we found out Keanu’s favorite movie growing up was ‘Rollerball.’ He’s a dog person and Steven Asked him to describe the rest of his life in five words. “Ok well then I’m going to be hopeful.

As far as hangover cures…and there’s A LOT of them…I kinda like Jon Pardi’s approach…he says a ‘Bloody Mary’ does the trick…but adds a warning…“My hangover cure is Bloody Mary’s, but be careful – because once you have a couple, don’t go to beer, because if you go to beer, you’re gonna start drinking again and you’ll end up a morning drunk. OR if you want to go the non-alcoholic route, there’s nothing you can do for hangovers. [laughs] You just go deal with it.” And by deal with it means Tylenol and sleep…

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.
