We kick off with an intro-music meltdown (ft. cursed AI jingle) before diving into Taylor Swift album week—no leaks, only joy. Then Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco’s whimsical wedding, the viral Taylor “toast” rumor, and Super Bowl halftime buzz. Sister Wives returns with Cody & Robyn’s monogamy vows and chaos, followed by the shock split of Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban, Reese’s spot-on impression, and our call to rename the fandom (RIP Pop Apostles 😅).
