"This Love (Taylor's Version)"
Taylor Swift's connection to The Summer I Turned Pretty began even before the Amazon Prime Vide series premiered in June 2022, thanks to the superstar debuting her re-recorded version of "This Love" in the first trailer for season one.
After the video dropped, the Grammy Award-winning singer took to Instagram to thank author and showrunner Jenny Han for choosing the song.
"I've always been so proud of this song," Swift wrote, "and I'm very [cute pleading face emojis] about this turn of events."
The track returned in epic fashion at the end of the season when it was the backdrop for the first kiss between Belly (Lola Tung) and Conrad (Christopher Briney). Swoon Beach, population: Us!
"Cruel Summer"
While not a necessarily a major moment, this absolutely bop from 2019's Lover plays as Belly is packing to head to Cousins Beach in the series premiere, foreshadowing a summer to remember...
"Lover"
The only clue viewers needed to understand Belly's long-simmering crush on Conrad was the fact that the title track from Swift's 2019 album played during the pair's very first scene together.
"Hey Stephen"
Name something cuter than Steven (Sean Kaufman) having this Fearless tune as his ringtone, we dare you!

"That's The Way I Loved You (Taylor's Version)"
In an unexpected twist, the show used this Fearless song as the needle-drop when Conrad finally stepped in to dance with Belly at the debutante ball in the season one finale. Chills, reader, we had them and we weren't the only ones moved by the choice.
"That was my favorite moment," Tung told E! News. "It's really unbelievable. It was magical to film and everything came together perfectly."
"August"
In keeping with tradition, the first trailer for season two debuted a new track from Swift. This time, it was a new, slowed-down version of the beloved song off of her folklore album. August slipped away into a moment in time, indeed...

"Last Kiss (Taylor's Version)"
The same week Swift released Speak Now (Taylor's Version), TSITP used this song to close out the season two premiere, which featured a sad Belly reflecting on her relationship with Conrad.
"Invisible String"
While "Snow on the Beach" may have seemed a more fitting soundtrack for Conrad and Belly's trip to the beach during the wintertime, this sweet ballad proved to be a perfect choice for the moment.

"Delicate (Taylor's Version)"
While Swift's songs famously are used to backdrop major Conrad and Belly scenes, this re-recorded Reputation track accompanied a sweet pool moment between Belly and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) in episode six of the sophomore season.
"Sweet Nothing"
For a flashback to Belly's younger years pining away for Conrad, the show used Swift's piano-led ballad from Midnights to drive home the innocence of her crush.
"Snow on the Beach"
LOL, you thought The Summer I Turned Pretty wasn't going to use this gem off of Midnights? The song, which features Lana Del Rey, plays as a drunk Belly walks back to the house from the beach and finds herself physically (and metaphorically) between Conrad and Jeremiah at the house party. A love triangle with two brothers? Weird but f--king beautiful!
"Bigger Than the Whole Sky"
As if watching Belly's final scene with Susannah (Rachel Blanchard) before she died due to her battle with cancer wasn't emotional enough, TSITP had go to and set the tearjerking moment in the season two finale to this heartbreaking ballad off of Midnights. Sob!

"exile (feat. Bon Iver)"
Oof. That's all we could muster when this haunting folklore duet came in as Belly broke Conrad's heart in the season two finale, instead choosing to be with Jeremiah. "exile" is particularly resonant for Conrad and Belly as the couple's main issue has always been communication and his inability to share how he is truly feeling.
