The Summer I Turned Pretty isn’t just about the romance; it’s also about the music—especially when there’s Taylor Swift involved. Ever since the Prime Video series premiered last year, it has held a soft spot in Swifties’ hearts, as the pop star’s music soundtracked episodes and snippets of new releases even appeared in previews. (Ahead of season 2, “Back to December (Taylor’s Version)” was first teased in the new season trailer ahead of the Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) release.)
Even beyond Taylor, the range of the series’ musical taste is even more impressive, thanks to music supervisors Nicole Weisberg and Jen Malone. In season 2, there are syncs from indie pop queen Caroline Polacheck, folk rock icons Fleetwood Mac, rising rap star Flo Milli, the beloved Mac Miller, and the perpetually cool Tyler, the Creator. Here, we’re keeping track of the needle drops throughout season 2. Check back each week as new episodes drop.
