I Can Do It With a Broken Heart Songs
When Taylor Swift announces an album, the world takes an interest. That’s certainly what happened in the days after she unveiled <i>THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT</i>, as intrepid Swifties began hunting and assembling and pinning clues to digital corkboards, eventually landing on the theory that her 11th studio album is sure to explore the five stages of heartbreak. And when Swifties agree upon a theory, Taylor takes an interest—so, naturally, she’s responded by crafting a series of exclusive playlists, choosing songs of her own that fit each stage. The fifth and final stage is acceptance, when we fully come to terms with our loss—and maybe even find peace. The mind springs immediately toward songs like “You’re On Your Own, Kid” and “closure” (both in attendance here), as well as a wealth of similarly cathartic material from <i>1989 (Taylor’s Version)</i> (hello, “Now That We Don’t Talk [Taylor’s Version]”) and <i>evermore</i> (so nice to see you again, “long story short”).

Am I Allowed to Cry? Songs
When Taylor Swift announces an album, the world takes an interest. That’s certainly what happened in the days after she unveiled <i>THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT</i>, as intrepid Swifties began hunting and assembling and pinning clues to digital corkboards, eventually landing on the theory that her 11th studio album is sure to explore the five stages of heartbreak. And when Swifties agree upon a theory, Taylor takes an interest—so, naturally, she’s responded by crafting a series of exclusive playlists, choosing songs of her own that fit each stage. The third stage is bargaining, where we often negotiate—asking questions of the universe and ourselves in an attempt to feel better. Kind of a complicated feeling to capture in song, but Taylor’s got you covered, zeroing in on a selection that includes “Soon You’ll Get Better,” “Say Don’t Go,” and <i>folklore</i>’s “this is me trying.”

You Don’t Get to Tell Me About Sad Songs
When Taylor Swift announces an album, the world takes an interest. That’s certainly what happened in the days after she unveiled <i>THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT</i>, as intrepid Swifties began hunting and assembling and pinning clues to digital corkboards, eventually landing on the theory that her 11th studio album is sure to explore the five stages of heartbreak. And when Swifties agree upon a theory, Taylor takes an interest—so, naturally, she’s responded by crafting a series of exclusive playlists, choosing songs of her own that fit each stage. The second stage is anger, and it’s fair to say that some of her best and most beloved songs boast an edge. You’ll find that in abundance here, coursing through the likes of “Vigilante Shit,” “Bad Blood (Taylor’s Version),” and, of course, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (Taylor’s Version).”

I Love You, It’s Ruining My Life Songs
When Taylor Swift announces an album, the world takes an interest. That’s certainly what happened in the days after she unveiled <i>THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT</i>, as intrepid Swifties began hunting and assembling and pinning clues to digital corkboards, eventually landing on the theory that her 11th studio album is sure to explore the five stages of heartbreak. And when Swifties agree upon a theory, Taylor takes an interest—so, naturally, she’s responded by crafting a series of exclusive playlists, choosing songs of her own that fit each stage. First up is denial, as heard (and felt) in a huge swath of her catalog, from the love-drunk oblivion of “Lavender Haze” to the starlit collision courses that are “Style (Taylor’s Version)” and “Treacherous (Taylor’s Version)” and beyond.
