The List for Wednesday, October 13th 2021

Welcome to The List,

At the beginning of a music career, it’s not always an easy one.. Just ask Maren Morris she once played to an empty bar… “I definitely remember a few mental breakdowns along the way. Like, in a bar, where no one showed up for our show. And wondering, ‘Can I do this? Am I suppose to be doing this?’ And yeah, looking back, I’m so glad I went through the struggles and the highs and the lows because it makes me so much more appreciative of what’s happening now.”

Tim McGraw shocked fans in Reno, Nevada last weekend when he jumped off stage to confront a heckler. He was getting booed by some in the crowd because he  forgot the lyrics to his song “Just to See You Smile.” McGraw hopped off the stage to get in their faces.  He later explained he had been working 48 hours straight shooting the new Yellowstone prequel series, 1883. He asked the audience to forgive him if he didn’t sound his best or if he missed a few lyrics, and in general, they seemed to do so.

Garth Brooks will present Randy Travis with the Artist of a Lifetime Award tonight at the CMT Artist of the Year ceremony 8pm on CMT

The Rock tells Vanity Fair magazine that he has spoken to several politicians about running for president IN 2024.  But tells the magazine “At the end of the day, I don’t know the first thing about politics, I care deeply about our country. And—there’s no delusion here – I may have some decent leadership qualities, but that doesn’t necessarily make me a great presidential candidate. That’s where I am today.”

Ron Howard tells Female First that Fonzie caused him to lose his hair. “The biggest stressor of all was Fonzie. Not Henry, but Fonzie. It did not escape my notice that as the season went on, the Fonz was getting more and more screen time. I didn’t handle my stress particularly well.  My hair started thinning.

The List for Monday, March 23rd 2026

Welcome to The List,

Keith Urban is officially boarding the yacht rock cruise. The country star says a full covers album is coming. It will feature classic yacht rock songs and only one original track. He even teased fans with a smooth cover of Stephen Bishop’s “On and On.” No release date yet. But apparently Keith brought boat shoes.

-----

ABC may be ready to dump The Bachelorette for good. Insiders claim executives now call the franchise “toxic.” Critics say the show stopped being about love and started chasing messy drama. Ratings have been sliding for years. The big question inside ABC now is simple. Is it finally time to pull the plug.

-----

Travis Kelce is apparently running an investigation. Someone has been leaking details about his wedding plans with Taylor Swift. Sources say Travis is trying to figure out who is talking. He is also trying to keep Taylor calm about the chaos. Because nothing says romance like a celebrity leak hunt.

-----

Luke Combs just turned Las Vegas into a country concert record book. His show at Allegiant Stadium pulled in 70,921 fans. That breaks the stadium record previously set by a massive boxing match. Country music just beat prize fighting in Vegas. Luke Combs basically threw the knockout punch.
