The Summer I Turned Pretty’s Gavin Casalegno, Lola Tung are proud Swifties, here’s what they said

It’s not surprising that the popular young-adult series, The Summer I Turned Pretty, has chosen pop sensation Taylor Swift as its icon. The cast, which includes Lola Tung, Gavin Casalegno, Christopher Briney, and author-turned-producer Jenny Han, are all American pop star Taylor Swift’s fans and have expressed their love for her. The trailer for season two features famous tracks by the singer such as Back to December (Taylor’s Version), as well as an unreleased re-recorded song from her upcoming album, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).

Opening up about the same is the lead actor Gavin Casalegno, who plays Jeremiah, the younger of the two-brother duo featured in the show said on being asked why certain Taylor Swift songs were so important for one of his undisclosed favourite moments in the series, “I feel like music is like seasoning for a moment. When there are hard conversations or when there are steamy moments or anything like that, music really makes a difference. I think for this scene in particular, I think it definitely just spiced it up a little bit and made it more fun and lively and I think people will enjoy it.”

In the show, Lola Tung’s character Belly is also frequently seen vibing to Taylor Swift’s songs. Recalling her memories of attending Taylor’s Eras Tur, Lola stated, “She was just magical,” where the singer performed her entire music catalogue. A longtime Swift fan, the concert was a revelation for Tung, “Even those albums that I hadn’t listened to as much, like ‘Evermore’, I was like, ‘Oh my God, what a beautiful album.’ Each one is so special and unique and I had so much fun.”

Taylor Swift’s songs have been a significant part of The Summer I Turned Pretty series since the teaser of season one, which featured This Love as the backdrop. In season two, fans can look forward to hearing August and other undisclosed tracks. The series is an adaptation of Jenny Han’s best-selling book trilogy of the same name. The Summer I Turned Pretty season two will premiere on July 14 in the OTT.
