Morgan Wallen posted a photo of himself in the studio the other day with the caption, “Locked in.”  Given that it’s been almost two years since he released his last album, “One Thing at a Time”, most people are guessing a new one should be on the way this spring.

The List for Wednesday, April 2nd 2025

Welcome to The List,

Country star Cole Swindell just admitted something we can ALL relate to—he used to hate the sound of his own voice. In a recent interview, he said, “Nobody really likes hearing themselves talk.” Well, Cole, join the club. If you've ever cringed at your own voicemail or nearly thrown your phone across the room after hearing yourself in a video, you get it. Luckily for Cole, he powered through the awkwardness and now has multiple hit songs. The rest of us? Still avoiding voice memos at all costs.

-----

Kelsea Ballerini fans are dedicated—but one took it to the next level at her recent concert in Salt Lake City. The fan asked her to sign his actual divorce decree, thanking her for helping him through his breakup. Ballerini politely declined (probably a smart legal move), but the interaction quickly went viral. The real question is: Was his ex there, and did she demand joint custody of the concert tickets?

-----

Kelly Clarkson is reportedly considering leaving The Kelly Clarkson Show to take over for Hoda Kotb on The Today Show. Why? Because talk show hosting is exhausting, and she wants more time with her kids. Honestly, fair. Running a daily talk show is like throwing a dinner party every single day—but with celebrity guests and an audience judging your every move. An NBC insider says the switch is a real possibility, meaning morning TV could soon have more Kelly and possibly… fewer impromptu Hoda dance breaks?

-----

A new Netflix rom-com is doing the unthinkable—convincing people to make major life decisions. The Life List, starring Sofia Carson, follows a woman completing her late mother’s bucket list, and apparently, it’s inspiring real-life viewers to dump their toxic partners and quit their terrible jobs. So if you see a co-worker watching it on their lunch break, brace yourself—they might be handing in their two weeks’ notice by the end of the day.

----

People magazine says Val Kilmer, known for Top Gun, has passed away at 65 from pneumonia. The actor had battled throat cancer. Kilmer leaves behind his daughter, Mercedes, and son, Jack.

The List for Tuesday, April 1st 2025

Welcome to The List,

CMA Fest is back, taking over Nashville from June 5-8 with ten stages, surprise collaborations, and country music’s biggest stars. Or, as locals call it, four days of honky-tonk traffic jams—but hey, at least the soundtrack’s good!

-----

Parker McCollum just shook up RODEOHOUSTON by announcing his most personal album yet, dropping June 27. Meanwhile, Luke Combs hinted on Instagram about new music. Country fans, prepare yourselves—your playlists are about to get real emotional, real fast.

-----

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reportedly "practicing for parenthood" by getting a puppy together. Because, as we all know, babies and dogs are basically the same—minus the teething, tantrums, and college tuition. Solid plan, guys!

-----

John Cena is retiring… kinda. The guy whose motto is "Never Give Up" is, well… giving up wrestling—but let’s be real, he’s probably just suplexing into another career. He’s calling it “closing a chapter,” but knowing Cena, that book’s getting a sequel. Meanwhile, catch WrestleMania 41 in Vegas, April 19th and 20th, streaming on Peacock!

Coco and Leila 4/1/2025

Our KIX Critters of the week are two cats who have found they like to hang around each other. Coco and Leila.

Leila is a  sweet and playful cat who loves to spend her time chasing her favorite mice toys and snuggling up in her cozy bed. She enjoys having space to roam around and explore, but her favorite moments are when she gets some chin scratches – they’re sure to make her purr! She’s not too fond of being picked up, but Leila is a friendly, affectionate girl who loves attention and will happily hang out with you once she feels comfortable.

Coco

Coco is a sweet and playful 2-year-old cat She enjoys spending her time with her favorite scratchers and cat trees, and she’ll appreciate a cozy perch to call her own!

While she’s cat-friendly, Coco can be a bit selective with her feline friends, so she’ll do best in a home with either no other cats or with other laid-back cats. She’s also good with children, but she thrives in a calm, adult environment where she can relax and build trust. Coco loves to play, especially with balls, and she’ll entertain herself for hours. When it comes to affection, she has a special way of showing her love—giving sweet little “love nibbles” and gentle licks. Her soft meow will melt your heart every time.

Our KIX Critters are two for one!! total adoption fee $50!! that includes everything including the microchip. Find out more
