The Taylor Swift Song For Every Phase of Your Breakup

Some people can't stop crying. Some people can't stop eating ice cream. Some people can't get off the couch. Some people can't talk about it. Some people can't stop talking about it. However you handle it, break-ups are tough and never fun. Luckily, Taylor Swift has a song for it all; the good, the bad, the heartache, the recovery. Here is a definitive list of every Taylor Swift song you need for every stage of your breakup.

"Last Kiss"

Break out the tissues and listen to this on repeat for the first 36 hours post-breakup. It's the perfect "cry yourself to sleep" song.


"Breathe"

A close second to "Last Kiss," this song is your first step toward acceptance, recognizing that while it's going to be tough without them, and it feels like you lost a friend, you have to carry on.

"We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"

After the initial heartache, the anger sets in and this becomes your go-to-scream-in-the-car anthem.

"You're Not Sorry"

Maybe you had a run in with your ex or one of their friends and hear how sorry they are that things didn't work out. Psst yea, right.

"Dear John"

This song will help you gain some perspective. You are still second guessing how you left things and analyzing conversations trying to figure out where you went wrong. But it wasn't fair. It wasn't all your fault.

"All Too Well"

This one is so important and beautiful. By this point, you've been apart for a few months. It's about remembering all the things about them that you keep trying to forget.

"Story Of Us"

You haven't quite hit the one year mark yet, but you also haven't seen your ex in person since the break up...until you run into them over break, at the mall, at the gym - there's no ideal place for the first encounter to happen. Should you say hi? Do you wave? If it's awkward, and uncomfortable and pisses you off a little bit -–play this one.

"Begin Again"

You passed the one year mark. Things are better than okay, not great but pretty good. It might be time for you to start dating again. This song shows you that it just takes ONE great date to put the past behind you.


"Clean"

Congratulations! You've made it. You are finally, truly and completely over the relationship. The bitterness and anger are gone and that person is now just a part of your past.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
