An incredible soundtrack is always a summertime must-have, and Prime Video’s new series “The Summer I Turned Pretty” has songs that are truly on point for the new season. If you’ve gotten the chance to see all seven episodes (and if you haven’t yet, what are you doing?), then you know exactly what we’re talking about. Everything from Olivia Rodrigo to Taylor Swift to Cardi B. and beyond is included in the teenage love story.
As it turns out, including T. Swift’s music in the show was a long time in the making for novelist Jenny Han, who also helped pen the television series. “That was my no. 1 dream, to get one of her songs on this show,” she gushed during an interview with E! News. (You could even say it was one of her “Wildest Dreams.") While all Swifties truly appreciate the iconic tracks in the series, there’s a very special reason why including these ballads was incredibly important to Han.

When it came time to write a sequel for the series, Han nearly made the decision to dedicate the entire book to the pop star.
After all, as Swift would iconically say, “Everything Has Changed.”
