Taylor Swift Fans Can’t Believe She Put This Joe Alwyn-Era Love Song on Her Denial Playlist

Taylor Swift may have just changed how her fans view “Lover” forever.

In direct response to fan theories that The Tortured Poets Department album would document the five stages of heartbreak, Swift divvied up her current catalogue into five Apple Music playlists representing denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Her first playlist, “I Love You, It’s Ruining My Life,” is easily sparking the biggest reaction online.

“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,” Swift told fans of her denial playlist.

Fans instantly clocked that many of the songs were on this list were written during Swift’s six-year relationship with Joe Alwyn, but no placement hit the fandom quite as hard as the title track from her 2019 album, Lover.
