The Greenville County Coroner’s Office has released Hayden Panettiere’s official cause and manner of death. Her death was ruled an accident caused by the toxic effects of fentanyl and several other substances. I break down what officials confirmed—and what the finding does not establish about earlier reports involving a potentially fentanyl-laced pill.

Then, Taylor Swift announces The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, featuring four new songs, along with her new single, “Patient Zero.”

Also yappening: Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” makes Billboard history after spending 23 weeks at No. 1, and Lionel Richie is recovering after undergoing a heart procedure to treat atrial fibrillation.

It’s a short and sweet hotel-room edition of It’s All Yappening.
