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.

AT THE MOVIES...Thursday’s at 5:40, brought to you by North Grand Cinema in Ames and IBC KIX 101.1….

Welcome to The List…
Hollywood’s biggest fear is officially here. Dead actors… still booking roles. A new movie is using A.I. to bring Val Kilmer back. Yeah. From the grave… straight to the premiere. The director says Val wanted this. His family signed off too. Which is great… until your Netflix suggestions start haunting you. Somewhere an Oscar just felt uncomfortable.

Tom Brady says he wears a disguise to his kids’ games. Not kidding. Hoodie. Hat. Full undercover quarterback mode. Apparently the kids don’t want attention on them because… you know… their dad is TOM BRADY. Imagine trying to sneak into a gym when you’re built like a superhero statue. Sir… we still know it’s you.

Rumor is Keith Urban might be going through a midlife crisis after the split. Sources say he wants to live the single life again. Totally different person now. Which honestly just sounds like every guy who suddenly discovers energy drinks and fitted jeans. Next step is obvious. Corvette. New Balance. Bluetooth headset.

Kenny Chesney just launched his own record label. Big move. Real boss energy. It’s named after his boat… because of course it is. And the first artist he signed…drumroll… Kenny Chesney. Man skipped the middleman and hired himself. HR meeting must be real smooth.
