OMFG #@!#$#% TAYLOR AND TRAVIS ARE ENGAGED!!! Of course our girl drops another Tuesday annoucement after a Monday recording so we had to cut in a segment on all things Tayvis Engagement.

Then, Hart pops off with some news about Millie Bobbie Brown and a rundown on the latest Taylor variants. For Shift Happens, Elizabeth delivers a history of swear words, with a particular focus on the extreme increase in cursing that has occurred within the last 10 years. This is an episode not to miss!
