Welcome to The List,
Disney just dropped a hundred million dollars yes, million for Taylor Swift’s new Eras Tour documentaries. Netflix and Amazon tried to throw their wallets at her too, but Disney won the bidding war by giving her total creative control and ownership. They didn’t just buy a concert film — they bought a piece of history. Taylor’s not just a singer anymore… she’s a full-blown empire, and Disney just paid the toll to enter the kingdom.

Yesterday we told you about Reid Perry from The Band Perry well, that’s officially the end of the band as we knew it. Reid just quit, leaving big sis Kimberly Perry and her boyfriend Johnny Costello as the only two left standing. The original trio was Kimberly, Reid, and their younger brother Neil who was already replaced by Johnny earlier this year. So now, it’s basically “The Band Kim and Johnny.” Doesn’t quite roll off the tongue, does it?

Here we go again Super Bowl halftime drama! Fans are furious that Bad Bunny’s headlining this year and want him replaced with George Strait. There’s even a petition with over 4,500 signatures saying the show should “honor American culture.” Meanwhile, Bad Bunny’s like, “You’ve got four months to learn Spanish.” Yeah, no..not going to do that…

Eric Church is taking country to the big screen with his new IMAX concert film, Evangeline vs. The Machine. It’s him, a full band, a horn section, and a choir because subtlety’s overrated. It hits theaters February 13th, 2026, just in time for Valentine’s weekend. Nothing says romance like surround sound, whiskey, and Eric Church belting “Springsteen” so loud your popcorn starts vibrating.

In Theaters this weekend: ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’
Avatar: Fire and Ash picks up after The Way of Water and dives into darker territory, introducing a more aggressive Na’vi tribe tied to fire and volcanic regions. It cranks up the conflict, explores moral gray areas, and shows Pandora is a lot less peaceful than we thought.
