Brad Paisley talks to Ellen about his ‘No I In Beer’ video..to rescuing donkeys during the pandemic…and recalling the last concert he played before the pandemic shut everything down…“We were up in Saskatchewan, the day after they shut down all of America. Which was really weird because I feel like we got one pass the goalie. I was able to really soak it in with that audience, and I think we all knew.. ok, this is it for a long time.”
Each audience member for Saturday Night Live’s season premiere walked out with a surprise $150 check. New York’s COVID-19 guidelines prohibit live audiences at “media production activities,” unless the audience is made up of paid cast, crew or employees. so, by paying the audience…NBC was able to count them as employees which put the show in compliance with the state’s COVID-19 restrictions.

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.
