Welcome to The List,
So Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski told GQ he wants to do a crossover between “Days of Thunder” and that new F1 movie with Brad Pitt. Because apparently NASCAR and Formula 1 need a cinematic multiverse now? Oh—and he teased Top Gun 3 where Maverick faces a “crisis bigger than himself.” Probably high cholesterol!

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have ended their engagement after nearly ten years. A source says it’s “amicable” and “not contentious.” Yeah, well, if your engagement lasts longer than some marriages… were you planning a wedding, or just hoping the other person would blink first?

Travis Kelce hosted a surprise nightclub concert in Nashville Tuesday, and who jumps on stage? Taylor Swift and Kane Brown—singing Shake It Off. Travis wore camo, gold chains, and a cowboy hat like a fashion fever dream. Raise your hand if you’re one more duet away from needing a break.

Zach Bryan was in a Dublin bar when he heard a staffer say he’s working late nights to pay for college. So Zach left him a $7,000 tip. Which is incredible, inspiring, and a reminder that I too am available for eavesdropping—especially if you’re rich and generous.

Welcome to The List,
Carrie Underwood is back for her 13th season of belting out the “Sunday Night Football” theme and honestly, at this point, she should be listed on the injury report as a starting vocalist. If you watched the Hall of Fame game last night, you got a sneak peek. First official SNF matchup? September 7th. Set your DVRs and your expectations.

WELL WHATCHA GONNA DO, BROTHER—when you find out you’ve got a surprise $4 million in the bank?! Hulk Hogan’s buddy randomly discovered a hidden account at a Bank of America ATM linked to old merch deals and even Hogan himself didn’t know it existed. Meanwhile, his ex-wife Linda is somewhere flipping furniture.

Eric Church says he avoids social media so his fans can do the talking for him. Because apparently nothing says “rock and roll rebel” like crowd-sourced tweets. He told Billboard it’s always been about the music not memes, not threads just music. Let the fans tweet, he’ll stick to guitars and sunglasses.

Diddy wants his verdicts tossed out or a new trial altogether. His legal team says the charges don’t fit under the Mann Act and that the women involved chose to participate. The courtroom is now a remix of legal jargon, past behavior, and high-stakes lawyering. Stay tuned, because this legal drama has more twists than a Bad Boy beat.
