The List for Wednesday, May 7th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Luke Bryan just used Blake Shelton’s ticket sales as a punchline. While rehearsing in a giant arena, Luke joked, “We got this big building just to kind of show everybody what Blake Shelton’s ticket sales look like.” Then panned the camera to a sea of empty seats. Somewhere, Blake just spit out his beer and said, “That’s fair.”

Angel Reese’s mom threw some shade sharp enough to slice a basketball net. After fans pointed out Caitlin Clark’s preseason crowd was more than double Angel’s, Mama Reese clapped back on X: “Some people cheer for attendance, others cheer for championship banners. We ain’t the same.” Then she turned off the comments like, “Fight me—but silently.”

Kane Brown told Rolling Stone he’s embracing the “pop country” label, saying he wants songs on both pop and country radio. Translation: “You can argue about genres while I collect checks from both sides.” Honestly, smart move. It’s like being able to eat at Waffle House and Nobu.

In the Diddy trial jury selection, one potential juror straight-up told the court he can’t go a day without weed. Respect the honesty, but sir—this is not High Court on Comedy Central. He got dismissed and probably celebrated with a snack the second he hit the parking lot.
