In anticipation of Taylor Swift’s new album, fans have noticed a pattern in one of the 34-year-old singer’s new playlists, wondering if there’s a connection to her split from Joe Alwyn.

Her upcoming album The Tortured Poets Department featured five separate playlists, representing the various stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance.

However, the fourth playlist, titled Old Habits Die Screaming talks about the concept of depression.

Commenting on the nature of her songs in the said playlist, the Antihero hit maker said in a voice message: [This playlist] the feelings of depression that often lace their way through my songs.”

“In times like these, I’ll write a song because I feel lonely or hopeless. And writing a song feels like the only way to process that intensity of an emotion.”

“And while these things are really, really hard to go through, I often feel like when I’m either listening to songs or writing songs that deal with this intensity of loss and hopelessness, usually that’s in the phase where I’m close to getting past that feeling.”
