Taylor Swift’s music strikes a chord in ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ season 3 teaser

Get ready to dive back into the emotional waves of The Summer I Turned Pretty. The teaser trailer for Season 3 has officially dropped, and it’s already making a splash—not just for its nostalgic beach scenes and romantic drama, but for its powerful use of Taylor Swift’s music that perfectly captures the show’s mood.

Set to premiere on Prime Video on July 16, the third and final season continues to explore Belly Conklin’s tangled love story with brothers Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher. The teaser opens on a tender note with “Daylight” from Swift’s Lover album. Viewers are treated to heartwarming glimpses of Belly (played by Lola Tung) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) sharing carefree college moments—racing on the quad, snuggling by the fire, and laughing at the beloved Cousins Beach house. It feels like Belly has finally found her “golden” summer.

But in true TSITP fashion, the peace doesn’t last. As the lyric “I once believed love would be burnin’ red, but it’s golden” echoes, Conrad (Christopher Briney) reappears, bringing a chill to the warm-toned montage. The soundtrack switches to the fiery chorus of “Red,” instantly reigniting the emotional tension between Belly and her first love. The contrast between the two songs mirrors the opposing dynamics at the heart of the love triangle—Jeremiah’s stability versus Conrad’s intensity.

The show’s promotional poster adds another layer of symbolism, showing Belly dressed in red, positioned between both brothers. Jeremiah sweetly kisses her cheek while Conrad looks on with a pained expression. Even the floral backdrop reflects Taylor Swift’s metaphor-laced lyrics, reinforcing the show’s signature blend of emotional storytelling and visual poetry.

Based on Jenny Han’s bestselling YA trilogy, The Summer I Turned Pretty has become a coming-of-age staple, blending heartbreak, growth, and the complexities of first love. With Season 3 confirmed to be the final chapter, fans can expect 11 emotionally charged episodes where Belly must finally make the ultimate choice: Which Fisher brother truly holds her heart?

With Taylor Swift’s music setting the emotional tone, this season promises to be as unforgettable as the songs themselves.
