‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Soundtrack: A Look Back at the Show’s Taylor Swift Music Moments

The Prime Video series The Summer I Turned Pretty has seemingly become synonymous with Taylor Swift’s music.

Author Jenny Han and star Lola Tung have been candid about their love of Swift’s music and the singer-songwriter has even enlisted the show to help premiere some of the rerecorded versions of her songs prior to Swift eventually buying back her masters.

During The Summer I Turned Pretty‘s first season, multiple Swift songs were featured throughout seven episodes, including “Cruel Summer,” “False God,” “The Way I Loved You (Taylor’s Version)” and “This Love (Taylor’s Version),” from the 1989 (Taylor’s Version) album which at the time had yet-to-be-released.

“Thank you @jennyhan for debuting my version of ‘This Love’ in the trailer for @thesummeriturnedpretty!!” Swift wrote on social media at the time. “I’ve always been so proud of this song…”

Meanwhile, for the season two trailer, Swift’s “Back to December (Taylor’s Version)” can be heard, which offered fans a preview of the track from the rerecorded album, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), which released a week later. A teaser for the season season also featured a cinematic version of Swift’s folklore song “August.”

When sharing the season two trailer on her social media, Swift wrote, “Crying (Taylor’s Version).”

And the third time proved to be the charm with Swift’s “Daylight” and “Red (Taylor’s Version)” featured in the show’s third season trailer.

With the series chronicling young romance and a love triangle, it’s no surprise that Swift’s catalog has proved to be the perfect soundtrack. From first sparks to heartbreaks, the show has used Swift’s music to help tell the love stories between Tung’s Belly Conklin and the Fisher brothers Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno).

The show has offered other iconic music moments that featured Frank Ocean’s “Moon River”; “ARE WE STILL FRIENDS?” by Tyler, The Creator,”; “XO” by Beyoncé; One Direction’s “Steal My Girl”; Fleetwood Mac’s “Silver Springs,” Japanese Breakfast’s cover of Yoko Ono’s “Nobody Sees Me Like You Do”; Billie Eilish’s “When the Party’s Over”; and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Driver’s License” and “1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back.”

Amid the season three premiere, The Hollywood Reporter takes a look back at the series’ iconic moments featuring Swift’s songs. This list will be updated with any more Swift music moments from season three.
