“taylor swift it’s never too late to release the cruel summer music video.”
Amazon Prime’s latest series The Summer I Turned Pretty leans into the teen drama trope of a love triangle. Based on a novel by Jenny Han (the writer of the To All The Boys I Loved Before trilogy), the young adult series centers on Isabella “Belly” (Lola Tung) as she begins blossoming into womanhood and starts to catch the eye of adolescent boys. Each summer Belly and her family vacation in an idyllic beach town with her mom’s best friend Susannah’s (Rachel Blanchard) family who feels like an extension of her own. The only problem is she’s harboring an unrequited crush on Susannah’s son Conrad (Christopher Briney) who always saw her as a kid, while Conrad’s brother Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) also makes his interest known. When the trailer dropped in late May 2022, it featured an as-yet unreleased “Taylor’s Version” of the Taylor Swift song “This Love” from her 1989 album, and the use of the song made waves amongst Swifties.
