Terminal bash to zsh terminal prompt

I get a pop-up "terminal bash 80x24" message, which is a nuisance and I don't want to deal with it. Does it need to be addressed? How can I make it go away?


Since converting to Big Sur and Music (from iTunes) and having also introduced a Sonos Amp using Airplay, iTunes Music has had issues. This feels like another example of that. The message I receive follows:


"The default interactive shell is now zsh.

To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.

Is there a quick fix to this issue? Thanks!
