Am I allowed to cry?

Am I allowed to cry?

Grief isn't linear, and neither is our progression through the Tortured Poets playlists on Apple Music! Mallory and Justine are following up Taylor's denial playlist, "I love you, it's ruining my life" by going tits deep into bargaining. Justine actually made notes in advance of this episode, Mallory shares which songs used to be skips - but aren't anymore! - and we talked much longer than we meant to... we're not sorry. From mental illness and defence mechanisms to overfunctioning and boundary setting, this conversation covers a lot of ground. Get ready to go deep into what we consider some of the most underrated, vulnerable, and devastating songs in Taylor's discography. (hello, peace *WEEPING*) And to be clear: You ARE allowed to cry.

I love you, it's ruining my life

Mallory and Justine are back at it with another week of TTPP! This week, we're dabbling in Taylor news, then diving into the first of five curated playlists on Apple Music (care of Ms Swift herself!) We're kicking things off with: I love you, it's ruining my life -- a playlist about denial and ignoring red flags. We didn't have time to walk through every song, but we did touch on a few standouts, talked song origin speculations, and wandered down every conversational tangent that presented itself. Enjoy!
