Upon Swift’s announcement about her album, fans landed on the theory that ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ will explore the five stages of heartbreak.To celebrate the upcoming release, the ‘All Too Well’ singer has created a series of five exclusive playlists on Apple Music, choosing songs of her own catalog that fit each stage – Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance.The first playlist, titled ‘I Love You, It’s Ruining My Life Songs’, explores denial.

According to the singer, this playlist is “a list of songs about getting so caught up in the idea of something that you have a hard time seeing the red flags, possibly resulting in moments of denial and maybe a little bit of delusion.

Results may vary.” ‘You Don’t Get to Tell Me About Sad Songs’, is the second playlist and deals with the anger within heartbreak.
