Taylor Swift, the renowned singer-songwriter, has unveiled five carefully curated playlists on Apple Music, each representing a different stage of heartbreak. The playlists serve as a celebration of her existing discography and a teaser for her upcoming 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, set to release on April 19.

The playlists, named "Denial," "Anger," "Bargaining," "Depression," and "Acceptance," feature tracks that reflect the emotions experienced during the various stages of heartbreak. Released on Friday, each playlist is named after a track from Swift's forthcoming album.

The first playlist, "Denial," is titled "I Love You, It's Ruining My Life," and features songs like "Lavender Haze," "Style (Taylor's Version)," and "Treacherous (Taylor's Version)." Swift described this collection as a representation of getting lost in the idea of something, sometimes leading to denial and a touch of delusion.

The second playlist, "Anger," titled "You Don't Get to Tell Me About Sad Songs," includes powerful tracks like "Vigilant S**t," "Bad Blood (Taylor's Version)," and "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (Taylor's Version)." Swift explained that these songs were all written during moments of anger, and that channeling this emotion into her music has been a healthy outlet for her.

"Bargaining," the third playlist, is titled "Am I Allowed to Cry?" and features songs such as "Soon You'll Get Better," "Say Don't Go (Taylor's Version)(From the Vault)," and "This Is Me Trying." Swift explained that these songs represent a stage of trying to make deals with oneself or with someone they care about, often accompanied by a sense of desperation.

The fourth playlist, "Depression," titled "Old Habits Die Screaming," includes heartfelt songs like "Champagne Problems," "We Were Happy (Taylor's Version)," and "Forever Winter (Taylor's Version)." Swift revealed that writing and listening to songs that explore feelings of depression have helped her navigate through challenging times, offering a way to process intense emotions and eventually move past them.

Lastly, the fifth playlist, titled "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart," represents the stage of acceptance. Swift stated that these songs signify making room for more positivity in one's life and choosing to move forward from loss or heartbreak. Tracks in this playlist include "You're On Your Own, Kid," "Closure," "Now That We Don't Talk (Taylor's Version)(From The Vault)," and "Long Story Short."

Swift's heartbreak-themed playlists come as a preview of her highly anticipated album, The Tortured Poets Department. The singer-songwriter has expertly crafted a musical journey that resonates with her own experiences and offers solace to fans going through similar emotional journeys.

In recent news, Swift's romantic life appears to be blossoming with her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Kelce shared in a recent interview how Swift's music taste has influenced his own, describing her as amazing and talented. He expressed his enjoyment in discovering her creative influences and gaining new perspectives on music through her.

As the release date of The Tortured Poets Department approaches, fans eagerly anticipate the collection of songs that will undoubtedly captivate hearts and solidify Taylor Swift's standing as a musical icon.
