Welcome to The List,
Reba McEntire is hosting the ACM Awards again—and she lives for the chaos of live TV. She said, “I love it!” Of course you do, Reba… you thrive on awkward jokes and camera mishaps like it’s your cardio. Meanwhile, Rascal Flatts—yes, the band that retired before my last oil change—somehow got nominated for Group of the Year. And here’s a twist: George Strait, the literal King of Country, has been nominated for Entertainer of the Year 14 times… and only won twice. That’s not a stat—that’s a roast. The ACMs air tonight at 8pm on Amazon Prime!

Some cardinals who will help pick the next Pope are reportedly watching the movie Conclave… to figure out how conclaves work. Yes—grown men in red robes are binge-watching a film for research on how to choose the Pope. What’s next? Picking a new Dalai Lama based on a BuzzFeed quiz?

The Diddy case just got even messier. Prosecutors might go to trial without a key witness—“Victim-3”—because they can’t find her. Yikes. But no worries, they’ve still got other witnesses, including his ex Cassie. So the courtroom might be short one witness, but it’ll have plenty of tea.

Chris Stapleton’s Traveller just hit its 10-year anniversary—and somehow, it’s STILL on the Billboard 200 after 500 weeks. That’s right, half a thousand weeks. That album’s got more staying power than your uncle’s ‘temporary’ garage couch. You can now pre-order the 10-year vinyl edition… and pretend you’re cooler than you actually are.

Welcome to The List,
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are allegedly hitting a rough patch not over romance, but over the prenup. An insider claims the financial talks are “cold-hearted,” mostly because their bank accounts look like they’re from two different planets. Travis wants to play another season or two and eventually jump into broadcasting, and apparently Taylor’s not thrilled with that plan. The source says there is supposed to be a wedding this offseason… but right now the negotiations look less like love and more like Shark Tank.

Willie Nelson is fed up with the internet declaring him dead every other week and he finally said something. He posted a photo of himself snoozing on a couch with the caption, “If you believe those A.I. death stories one more time.” For months, fake AI posts claimed he collapsed, was hospitalized, or worse. None of it true. Willie’s still here, still laughing, still alive… and more coherent than some of the people posting about him.

Diddy allegedly thinks someone in his own family sold him out after 50 Cent got access to leaked footage for the Netflix documentary ‘The Reckoning’. The footage shows him distressed on a phone call and Diddy is reportedly determined to figure out who leaked it. He believes only family had access to something that sensitive. And after watching parts of the doc myself? Yeah… “eye-opening” is putting it lightly. This story gets messier by the hour.

Luke Combs told ESPN he wants to headline the Super Bowl halftime show and watch his Carolina Panthers win that same game. Bold. Very bold. He said he grew up in Charlotte when the Panthers became a team, so it’s “in his blood.” Look, we love the confidence but asking for a halftime slot and a Panthers Super Bowl victory is what scientists call “a miracle.”
