TV shows like The summer I became beautiful And Bridgerton have used Taylor Swift‘s music to take their content to the next level with iconic needle drops.
During season 1 of The summer I became beautifulBelly (Lola Tung) romantic moments with Conrad (Christopher Briney) featured Swift deep cuts including “False God” and “This Love (Taylor’s Version).”
Creator Jenny Han praised the singer for approving her music request.
“I don’t even know the words for what that meant to me. That was my No. 1 dream: to have one of her songs on this show,” she shared E! News in June 2022, while discussing how Swift’s discography inspired her writing process. “I listened to Fearless and thought, ‘These songs really helped me get to the finish line.’ When I write books I like to listen to music to help me see the emotional mood of the story, and her music really did that for me for the series.
Han said she was even more excited if fans would hear the needle drop, adding: “I knew what it would mean to me and I knew even more what it would mean to the people who hold these books very close to their hearts have kept. That just felt like the best gift I could ever give.”
