Taylor Swift has become an integral part of the hit series ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’. Her songs have accompanied the adventures of Belly, Jeremiah, Conrad, and the other characters, almost as if the iconic singer were right there with them.
With the series’ renewal for a new (and possibly final) season, the chances of hearing more of Swift’s songs are endless. This is especially true considering the filming delay due to the 2023 strike, while the prolific artist from West Reading continued to release hit after hit.
