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.
