Taylor Swift Backs "The Summer I Turned Pretty" Heroine's Decisions

On October 7, 2025, music superstar Taylor Swift discussed her latest album and her connection to the Prime Video series "The Summer I Turned Pretty" during an appearance on "On Air with Ryan Seacrest." The 35-year-old singer revealed that she is firmly "Team Summer I Turned Pretty," praising the show's thoughtful and beautiful use of her music to capture pivotal moments in the life of the protagonist, Belly.

Swift explained that she feels her songs are deeply intertwined with Belly's inner experiences, saying "I feel like my music comes from inside her mind." The singer-songwriter was particularly excited about the inclusion of her tracks "Out of the Woods" and "Dress" in the series finale, as well as the use of "The Way I Loved You" in the season 1 finale.

The 14-time Grammy winner expressed her unwavering support for Belly's romantic choices, even though the show's love triangle between Conrad, Jeremiah, and Belly has been a topic of much debate among fans. "I support your choices, girl," Swift declared, emphasizing that she is behind Belly no matter what.

The integration of Swift's music has been a crucial element of the series, with showrunner Jenny Han previously sharing her determination to secure the rights to use specific Taylor Swift songs. Han's efforts paid off, as the author said she felt Swift "bet on" her and the show, allowing the series to feature more than one of the pop icon's tracks.
