Taylor Swift releases five playlists framed around the stages of grief ahead of new album

A fortnight remains until the release of Taylor Swift’s 11th album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” and the singer has created five new playlists on the Apple Music platform to correspond with the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

Following the announcement of her white, beige and black aesthetic album, fans theorized that the album may correspond to the five stages of heartbreak.

“So naturally, she’s created a series of exclusive playlists, choosing songs of her own catalog that fit each stage,” says a press release from Apple Music. Each of the stages include a narration from Swift.

First up is denial: I Love You, It’s Ruining My Life Songs. Here are some of the tracks included:

• “Lavender Haze”
• “Snow On The Beach (feat. More Lana Del Rey)”
• “Sweet Nothing”
• “Glitch”
• “Betty”
