Let's go through each of the 5 Stages of Grief playlists and run some numbers.  I added my guesses but tried to keep the stats separate for accuracy.

I Love You, It’s Ruining My Life

“This 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.”

• delusional = 18 to 36
• Lover and my guesses for Reputation have the most denial
• Interestingly the title of the denial list comes from Fortnight, which I actually put on the depression list.

You Don’t Get To Tell Me About Sad

“These songs all have one thing in common… I wrote them while feeling anger. *laughs* Over the years, I’ve learned that anger can manifest itself in a lot of different ways but the healthiest way that it manifests itself in my life is when I can write a song about and then often times that helps me get past it.”

• anger = 21  to 36

• Lover has zero anger songs

• Red and TTPD (estimated by me) have the most anger

• The title of this list is from Who’s Afraid of Little ‘Ol Me, which fits perfectly.

Debut = 3

Old Habits Die Screaming

“We’re going to be exploring 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 listen 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.”

• sadness = 18 to 29
• pretty even distribution between albums
• zero on 1989 or Lover
• The Black Dog, where this title comes from, represents anger more than depression in my opinion.  But I see why she picked it for this list since a colloquialism for depression is ‘The Black Dog’.

Am I Allowed To Cry?

“This playlist takes you through the songs that I’ve written when I was in the bargaining stage… times when, you know, you’re trying to make deals with yourself or someone that you care about. You’re trying to make things better, you’re often times feeling really desperate because often times we have a sort of gut intuition that tells us things are not going to go the way we hope which makes us desperate which makes us bargain more.”

• bargaining = 18 to 26
• evermore and Midnights has zero bargaining songs
• Lover and my guesses for Reputation had the most bargaining songs.  Tied for 5

Take-Aways for 5 Stages of Grief?

Anger is represented the most in any playlist with 21-36

Other 4 stages are pretty evenly dispersed throughout the albums.

Denial was seen most Reputation through Lover

True to their titles Red had the most anger and Lover had zero songs with anger

Tortured Poets Department has as much anger as Red, tying for the top spot of anger representation.

• (on Taylor's list, I'd add The Man to anger at the very least)

Sadness was spread evenly throughout Taylor's catalog, except in 1989 and Lover which had none

Reputation through Lover showed the most bargaining

Our album showing the most acceptance is evermore

Were you surprised, or did it all make sense?  We'll discuss the emotion of each album and key things going on in each era next time.
