Welcome to The List,
Tonight is the night…AWARDS night…and Luke Bryan talks about what you can expect “If you’ve never seen the CMA Awards, first of all, pray for the guy hosting and sit back and enjoy an example and microcosm of many, many flavors of music, the realness and relatability and the stories of the songs that you’re hearing and the uniqueness of the artists and how the artists gives you where they’re from, who they are through their music.” Yeah, it’s Luke’s first time hosting the show so don’t miss The 2021 CMA Awards tonight 7pm on ABC.

Ah…humility….it’s a good thing to hold onto once you’ve made it big. Old Dominion’s Matthew Ramsey tells WideOpenCountry.com that his wife keeps him grounded at home saying “It’s quite a switch! You get off the stage and it’s like ‘Ahh, I am the greatest man that ever lived’ and then you come home and the wife’s like , ‘Go take out the trash.’ She definitely keeps me humble.”

Ladies, if you ever thought of dating Brad Pitt was out of the question…well, your luck is about to change…US Weekly Magazine says Brad Pitt is done dating people in the Hollywood industry. A source tells the magazine “Brad is skeptical of most of the women he likes. And he doesn’t want to date anyone in the industry because of what he’s gone through. He doesn’t want another Angie.” I’m sure we can find a suitable replacement in Kix country!

People Magazine’s 2021 Sexiest Man Alive!! Is Paul Rudd? Yes Antman is SEXAY!!! And he says he’s getting business cards made…what does he REALLY expect to get out of this? “All of my friends will destroy me…and I expect them to. That’s why they’re my friends.” He thinks this will change his life A LOT..maybe get invited to some of the “Sexy Dinners’ with Clooney, Pitt and B. Jordan and figures he’ll be on a lot more yachts, get better at brooding under soft light and be more mysterious.

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.

Toby Keith, Kenny Rogers, and Ed Harris are being inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. The ceremony happens in April in Oklahoma City. They’re joining legends like George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Kurt Russell, and Burt Reynolds. That is a hall with serious swagger. Cowboy hats optional. Legends required.
