Welcome to The List,
Luke Combs New Music
Well, Luke Combs just gave us the gift of hope for 2026 and some new tunes this Friday. He announced on X that three songs from his upcoming album are ready now, calling it The Prequel. We’re talking “Days Like These,” “15 Minutes,” and “My Kinda Saturday Night.” Bonus next year’s tour is named after that last one. So get ready: new music, new tour, new excuses to call in sick. Luke’s keeping us busy.

Nicole Kidman, Blake Shelton & Keith Urban Drama
Nicole Kidman’s friendship group is apparently convinced Blake Shelton knew about Keith Urban’s alleged cheating. Nicole says no one gave her a hint ..not Blake, no one… and now she’s seeing all the “signs” in hindsight. Oh, and the plot thickens: her prenup might cost her millions, with a clause paying Keith $600k per year they were together. So yes… heartbreak, betrayal, and a budget crisis all rolled into one Hollywood breakup.

Country Music & the Super Bowl
Twenty-two years without country at the Super Bowl halftime show. That’s how long it’s been since Shania Twain strutted onto the stage in thigh-high boots, blasting “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” and “Up!” with No Doubt and Sting backing her up. Since then? Silence. Nada. Country’s been ghosted from the biggest stage in America. Fans have been waiting, praying, and probably writing petitions. Twenty-two years later the drought is real.

In the trailer for Season 7 of “The Kardashians”, Kim says investigators told her that someone “extremely close” put out a hit on her life. There’s no word who did it . . . if it’s true . . . but people are thinking Kanye…Rating are that bad huh?

Welcome to The List,
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are allegedly hitting a rough patch not over romance, but over the prenup. An insider claims the financial talks are “cold-hearted,” mostly because their bank accounts look like they’re from two different planets. Travis wants to play another season or two and eventually jump into broadcasting, and apparently Taylor’s not thrilled with that plan. The source says there is supposed to be a wedding this offseason… but right now the negotiations look less like love and more like Shark Tank.

Willie Nelson is fed up with the internet declaring him dead every other week and he finally said something. He posted a photo of himself snoozing on a couch with the caption, “If you believe those A.I. death stories one more time.” For months, fake AI posts claimed he collapsed, was hospitalized, or worse. None of it true. Willie’s still here, still laughing, still alive… and more coherent than some of the people posting about him.

Diddy allegedly thinks someone in his own family sold him out after 50 Cent got access to leaked footage for the Netflix documentary ‘The Reckoning’. The footage shows him distressed on a phone call and Diddy is reportedly determined to figure out who leaked it. He believes only family had access to something that sensitive. And after watching parts of the doc myself? Yeah… “eye-opening” is putting it lightly. This story gets messier by the hour.

Luke Combs told ESPN he wants to headline the Super Bowl halftime show and watch his Carolina Panthers win that same game. Bold. Very bold. He said he grew up in Charlotte when the Panthers became a team, so it’s “in his blood.” Look, we love the confidence but asking for a halftime slot and a Panthers Super Bowl victory is what scientists call “a miracle.”
