At the beginning of the season, viewers see Belly Conlin () dating Jeremiah Fisher () as she starts college, followed by a three-year time jump to the summer before her senior year at Finch. A lot transpires during the first two episodes and already, eagle-eyed fans have spotted a number of references to the "Shake It Off" singer.
Let's take a closer look at all of the Swift Easter eggs and other notable references in Season 3.
'Daylight' and 'Red' were featured in the Season 3 teaser trailer.
To start, a teaser trailer for The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 featured two songs from Swift: "Daylight" and "Red." Her relationship with Jeremiah was symbolized by the former, while right at the end of the teaser, Conrad Fisher () appears as Swift sings, "Loving him was red."
This symbolism continued during the final season itself.
The colors red and blue in Belly's fashion choices reflected the lyrics of Taylor Swift's 'Red.'
During the scene when Belly talks to Conrad on Jeremiah's phone, she wears red sunglasses; she also wears red at the summer house with Conrad.
Similarly, she wears a lot of blue outfits in scenes with Jeremiah, a callback to "Losing him was blue," in Swift's song "Red."
'You're Losing Me' was featured at the end of Episode 1.
After Belly learned that Jeremiah slept with Lacey, Swift's track "You're Losing Me" plays as they argue and Belly runs away in tears.

Jeremiah and Belly dressed up as Lara Jean and Peter for Halloween.
Another photo on the wall of Belly's dorm showed her and Jeremiah dressed up as Lara Jean Covey and Peter Kavinsky from To All the Boys I've Loved Before.
Conrad standing over Belly after she fell was familiar, too.
Fans of To All the Boys I've Loved Before and XO, Kitty likely saw the scene where Belly fell at the Cousins beach house and Conrad stood over and felt a bit of déjà vu. That's because both of the other Han-inspired shows featured similar scenes.
The first two episodes of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 are available to stream on Prime Video. A new episode will be added weekly until the series finale on Sept. 17.

The photos offer a rare glimpse into the couple's date nights. "Just casually sharing some of their best days together," read one comment under the pictures of the two lovebirds. In the main photo, Kelce smiles ear-to-ear in a "Captain" gold anchor hat while Swift points to being his "First Mate." In another shot, she poses in black rimmed glasses while he holds up a Charlie's Angel finger gun gesture. Another comment read: "HARD IG LAUNCHHHHH YES ❤️" A post shared by Travis Kelce (@killatrav) Swift and Kelce began secretly dating in the summer of 2023 after he famously put her on blast for not being able to deliver a handmade friendship bracelet at the Kansas City Eras Tour.

Last month, Swift followed Kelce to her hometown of Nashville for Tight End University, an event that brings NFL tight ends together for a three-day training camp. Swift picked up a guitar and closed the celebrity concert portion with a "Shake It Off" duet with Kane Brown.
