== Trivia ==
*This is the second ever episode, consecutive, after "[[Moho House]]", where the [[couch gag]] comes before the [[title screen]], this time though the [[HD opening sequence|opening sequence]] is shown half-fully.
**The chalkboard gag refers to the [[season 28|28 seasons]] of the show; Taylor Swift is also around the same age as the show; being born only 4 days before the airing of "[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]".
**When Homer is driving home from his shift at the [[Power Plant]], instead of throwing the rod to [[Otto]], he gets stuck in the traffic and opens up the ''[[EZcape]]'' app to help him get through, thus starting the episode.
