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!

Welcome to The List,
John Wick: The Franchise That Won’t Die! John Wick may have bitten the bullet in Chapter 4, but like a bad ex, he’s back for more! Not only is Keanu returning for "John Wick 5," but we’re also getting an animated prequel and a spin-off starring Donnie Yen’s blind assassin, Caine. At this point, the only thing that can actually kill John Wick… is nothing.

Blake Shelton’s “No-Frills” Rider Some artists demand rose petals and private chefs—Blake Shelton just wants Sprite Zero, vodka, and ice. No fancy snacks, no ridiculous requests. Just a man, his drink, and a guaranteed good time. Honestly, respect.

Diddy’s Latest Lawsuit: What Even Is This?! A new accuser claims Diddy’s Miami “freak-off” party was more like a bad episode of Black Mirror. With big names like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and LeBron James allegedly present, we’re all wondering… was this a lawsuit or an Illuminati fanflic? Diddy’s legal team denies everything, of course.
