🎶 The Breakup Playlist

by Celeste Noir

“Confession: I judge every breakup by how quickly I can make a playlist for it. Because let’s be real — a breakup isn’t official until you’ve cried into Adele, screamed with Taylor, and danced yourself clean with Lizzo. So here it is: the soundtrack stitched into The Most Loved Breakup Edition. Warning: may cause spontaneous mirror singing and unexpected strutting.

Track 1 — The Sweet Beginning

The soft glow of first love — the candy, the roses, the belief that forever is real. These are the songs that sound like innocence.

• 💿 Michael Bublé – Love

• 💿 Alicia Keys – If I Ain’t Got You

Track 2 — The Texts at Midnight

The spiral. You’re up at 2AM, scrolling through his messages, and every lyric feels like a mirror.

• 💿 Adele – Hello

• 💿 SZA – Kill Bill

Track 3 — The Snap

This is where it turns. The rage, the fire, the sequins hitting harder when Beyoncé is blasting.

• 💿 Eminem – Killshot

• 💿 Beyoncé – Irreplaceable

• 💿 Taylor Swift – I Knew You Were Trouble

Track 4 — The Aftermath

The almosts — almost forgiving, almost forgetting, almost soft again. But not quite.

• 💿 Rihanna – Stay

• 💿 Billie Eilish – Happier Than Ever

Track 5 — Self-Love Encore

The finale. Spotlight back on you, heels clicking in rhythm, choosing yourself every step of the way.

• 💿 Lizzo – Good as Hell

• 💿 Dua Lipa – Don’t Start Now

• 💿 Beyoncé – Run the World (Girls)

“So, yes — he broke your heart. But this playlist? It’ll put it back together with sequins, sass, and a bassline you can stomp your heels to. Play it loud, babe. Louder than the excuses.”
