Welcome to The List,
The CMAs are a week from tomorrow and that means a lot of celebs are going to rub elbows…and we asked Luke Combs what he would say to Garth if he run into him. “So, I don’t know what I would say to be honest. I’ve thought about it before and it’s just kind of like ‘what do you say’ you know? You try not to be weird about like how much of a fan you are. I don’t know obviously it’s an awkward answer even saying it to you. so, I don’t know what I would really say if he was standing right here.” The CMA Awards Wednesday November 10th at 7 on ABC.

Adam Sanders was crowned the very first winner of The Road during the finale at the legendary Ryman Auditorium. And right after the big win, Keith Urban leaned in and whispered something Sanders says he’ll never forget: “You played this thing like a F’n fiddle.” Sanders beat out Cassidy Daniels and Channing Wilson and walked away with prize money, a record deal, a Stagecoach main-stage slot, and a Keith Urban quote that belongs in a frame.
