The Summer I Turned Pretty S3 Trailer: Taylor Swift Songs Hint At Belly's Final Choice
Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty promises to be a rollercoaster of feelings and the soundtrack alone is already breaking hearts.
The much-awaited trailer for The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 is finally here, and it's as emotional, nostalgic, and romantic as fans hoped. The 52-second teaser not only teases a drama-packed final season but also sparks major speculation thanks to two well-chosen Taylor Swift tracks.
The trailer begins with a montage of sweet moments between Belly (Lola Tung) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), backed by Taylor Swift's Daylight. The track, known for its lyrics about emerging from darkness and embracing a new beginning, perfectly complements Belly and Jeremiah's tender connection. It gives Team Jeremiah supporters something to cheer about—until the tone shifts dramatically.
In a surprising twist, the final seconds of the teaser cut to a clip of Conrad (Christopher Briney) appearing at a front door, holding a candy cane. At that exact moment, Red by Taylor Swift begins playing, specifically the lyric: 'But loving him was red." For Swifties and show loyalists alike, this musical switch isn't just an aesthetic choice—it's a signal.
The two songs, Daylight and Red, represent two very different kinds of love in Swift's universe. Red is about a tumultuous, unforgettable first love, while Daylight represents healing and peace. The shift from one to the other subtly underscores Belly's internal conflict: the safe and certain future she could have with Jeremiah, or the deep, complicated history she shares with Conrad.
This isn't the first time Jenny Han, the showrunner and author of the original books, has used Swift's music to great emotional effect. In fact, Swift songs have been part of the show's DNA since the beginning. But this particular musical cue has sent fans into a frenzy, analyzing every lyric for hints about what lies ahead.
Season 3 is set to pick up after Belly's junior year of college, and the official synopsis promises plenty of romantic tension. 'Belly's looking forward to another summer in Cousins with her soulmate, Jeremiah," the description reads. 'Her future seems set, until some core-shaking events bring her first love Conrad back into her life."
As Belly stands at an emotional crossroads, the trailer suggests that choosing between the two brothers won't be easy. While fans of the book trilogy may think they know where the story is headed, Han has hinted at some surprises this season. 'There are the things that [fans] know and then there are things they think they know, and then there's going to be, hopefully, things that surprise them," she teased.

From the pages of literary hits to silver screen of Hollywood: 5 books that transitioned to cinematic brilliance
(Written by Somya Panwar) An adaption better than the novel it was inspired by is almost blasphemy in the literary world. Yet, there are some screen reimaginings that came pretty close to capturing the literary brilliance of their source. For centuries, literature has been a muse to filmmakers in Hollywood, and there have been instances where they also managed to surpass the literary counterpart of it. As we need perfect alibis for the perfect crimes. Here's a list of five adaptations that came alive on screen without compromising the literary essence of the books: In 2006, the world of fashion was revolutionised with the release of The Devil wears Prada, a masterpiece on fashion journalism directed by David Frankel. The comedy-drama swayed away the audience by giving us some highly influential style icons, Miranda Priestly and Andrea Sachs. The screenplay is an adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's bestselling novel of the same name. The book has been heralded as an expression of new-age feminism through the lens of two women of different ages. Oscar-winning actor Meryl Streep played the iconic Miranda Priestly, the chief of Runway magazine, and Emmy Award winner Anne Hathaway essays a naive fresher appointed as her assistant. The incomparable Priestly with her elegant manners and chic ensembles rules her magazine and the fashion world, but much like the Devil himself creates her own iteration of Hell for those working under her. Seeking validation from Priestly, Sachs chases perfection, only to realise she is emulating the Devil, Miranda herself. She dresses fashionably and dishes witty quips but amid it all forgot to nurture her relationships. Although Priestly is portrayed as a clever, tough, and a powerful woman, that is not all to her. She is not an embodiment of the power-hungry individual, but the modern woman who can hold her own in a man's world. Sachs learning her lesson decides to quit her job in search of something that ignites a passion in her, much the same way as the magazine does for Priestly. The two women are antitheses of one another but compliment each other well. A tale set in a prison, Rita Hayworth & Shawshank Redemption, one of Stephen King's most beloved and iconic stories was published in 1982, which later was also adapted into a well-known film 'The Shawshank Redemption' in 1994. The plot revolves around two men convicted for murder, Red (Morgan Freeman), guilty as charged, and Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), innocent, wrongly accused for murdering his wife and her lover. Andy struggling to adjust, and getting along with the fellow inmates somehow manages to befriend Red, famously known for his ability of getting hands on things that usually is impossible to get a hold of in prison. In the grim loneliness and corrupt environment of the Shawshank, they form an alliance to scheme up an escape from the prison. The opening scene of Red, now a free man, narrating the story of an inmate who became his closest friend at Shawshank draws the readers into bringing the character of Andy to life. The script describes how, with their shared skills and wit, the two come to share a bond that takes a lifetime to create otherwise. 'Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild.' While Stephen King writing evokes a gamut of emotions, Morgan Freeman's narration gives it real voice. A story of hope, redemption, and friendship, it encourages one to keep going in hard times. Despite its failure at the box office, the film is often cited as one of the greatest to be ever made and remains a comfort film for many. Directed by Chloe, Zhao Nomadland , is a candid depiction of growing community of American nomads traveling in search of seasonal employment after the great recession. Jessica Bruder's 2017 book Nomadland: Survining America in the Twenty-First Century. Nominated for six Academy Awards, starring Frances McDormand as the protagonist, the film featured real-life normads Bruder met in her investigation. The film bagged three Oscars, and Zhao became the second woman to win Oscar for best director. The plot of the film revolves around fern, played by Frances, who is a widow and has no kids to hold her in place. Fern, an oddball of a character hits road with her van, picking up seasonal work, and romanticising the quiet power of freedom that comes with loneliness. The not-so-subtle subtext of the story contradicts dwelling in the standards set by society of a conventional home. Wherever the road takes fern, is her home, houseless but never homeless. Fern might be fictitious but her world isn't. From the pages of Mario Puzo's novel emerged one of the most iconic cinematic adaptations in history—The Godfather (1972). Set against the intricate backdrop of the Mafia underworld, the film brought to life the complex power dynamics of the Corleone crime family. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, the adaptation garnered critical acclaim and went on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Marlon Brando delivered a legendary performance as Don Vito Corleone, silencing critics and redefining the archetype of the powerful yet enigmatic patriarch. At the heart of the story is Vito's son, Michael Corleone, portrayed by Al Pacino—a man intent on distancing himself from the family's criminal legacy. However, when he returns for his sister's wedding, the weight of family loyalty and obligation begins to pull him into the world he hoped to escape. As Michael grapples with his identity and inheritance, he ultimately succumbs to the cycle of power, taking his father's place and transforming into a formidable Mafia leader, torn between duty and his longing for a simpler life. The Godfather trilogy has left an enduring legacy, shaping generations of filmmakers and embedding itself into popular culture through unforgettable quotes, masterful cinematography, and outstanding performances. Mario Puzo, who co-wrote the screenplay with Coppola, helped translate his literary vision into a cinematic masterpiece. The Godfather remains a timeless work of art—often considered the cinematic equivalent of great literature—and continues to inspire and influence storytelling across the globe. Directed by Lenny Abrahamson and Hettie Macdonald, Normal People is a critically acclaimed television adaptation of Sally Rooney's 2018 novel of the same name. Starring Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones in the lead roles, the series became a cultural phenomenon, breaking records in both the UK and Ireland with over 2.5 million viewers. Garnering seven BAFTA nominations, it is widely regarded as one of the most successful and faithful book-to-screen adaptations in recent years. The story follows the nuanced and evolving bond between Connell (Mescal) and Marianne (Edgar-Jones), capturing the emotional subtleties and unspoken connections that set their relationship apart from all others. The series excels at portraying the internal struggles and intimate moments that define their connection, thanks to masterful direction and breathtaking cinematography that vividly brings their inner worlds to life. At the heart of Normal People is the theme of miscommunication and emotional vulnerability. These flaws, far from weakening their relationship, form the core of its authenticity and depth. While the script makes some necessary adjustments for the screen, it retains the raw emotional intensity and passion of Rooney's prose. Viewers familiar with the novel may gain a deeper understanding of certain character nuances, but the series stands strong on its own as a companion piece to the book. Ultimately, Normal People proves how powerful a screen adaptation can be when it honors the spirit of its source material. The final scene—quiet, heartbreaking, and profound—cements the series as a deeply moving exploration of love, identity, and the complexity of human connection.

"Ohio's for lovers": Travis Kelce takes Taylor Swift home to Ohio: Are wedding bells quietly being planned behind closed doors?
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Ohio lunch date sparks new wave of marriage theories among Swifties (Gtty Images) Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are making the most of their rare downtime together, shifting from flashing cameras and roaring stadiums to simple, meaningful moments far away from the spotlight. Their latest outing — a lunch date in the heart of Kelce's hometown — is a perfect example of how their relationship is blossoming in privacy. Taylor Swift joins Travis Kelce in Ohio for 'wonderful' hometown lunch date On July 1, the duo was spotted enjoying a relaxed lunch at JoJo's Bar in Chagrin Falls, Ohio — a quiet suburb near Cleveland Heights, where Kelce grew up. While the NFL star went for a laid-back look in a striped blue shirt, Swift brought her signature grace in a white button-up shirt, pleated skirt, and her blonde ponytail perfectly tied. The couple managed to skip the main entrance altogether, choosing a discreet side door connected to the Inn of Chagrin to maintain their privacy. JoJo's Bar, an upscale Italian-American steakhouse opened in 2021, holds a personal connection for Kelce. His mother, Donna Kelce, is a regular there, making this spot feel all the more familiar for the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. Restaurant manager John Ponyicky told People, 'Taylor and Travis came in and had a wonderful time. They had a great lunch, enjoyed our food, and were really impressed with the team.' He also revealed, 'Travis grew up in Cleveland Heights, so he decided to visit somewhere he was familiar with. He and Taylor were both really pleasant.' Fans, of course, were quick to react when photos emerged of the couple inside the restaurant. One lucky diner confirmed seeing Swift seated with two others, and later confirmed Kelce's presence during the intimate gathering. Staff at JoJo's were clearly taken aback but chose not to disturb the peace. As co-manager Ryan Schwartz explained, 'Of course, she had her security detail with her, so we chose as a restaurant group to kind of just respect her privacy. ' While one user with the username @vortexglitter said, "Ohio's for lovers. Iykyk.", another X user @braxtonmg commented, "Why is she giving lover era". A third user @seedayIight13 exclaimed, "Taylor Swift in Ohio on a random Tuesday… my girl is in LOVE." Taylor Swift charms Travis Kelce's hometown with intimate Ohio outing (Image via X) This cozy Ohio lunch date isn't just another pitstop. According to insiders, these quiet moments between the couple are becoming more frequent and deeply meaningful. 'They're incredibly happy and in sync. There's a calmness and ease to their relationship right now that's been really grounding for Taylor and Travis,' shared a source. Their schedule has recently allowed them to steal more quality time together, alternating between New York City outings, Nashville visits with Swift's family, and short, under-the-radar getaways. 'This kind of downtime is rare for both of them, and it's really allowed their bond to deepen,' the insider added. Though Swift hasn't performed in Cleveland since her 2018 Reputation Tour and skipped it during her Eras Tour, she's now making memories in the region thanks to Kelce. Whether or not a future tour date brings her back, one thing's certain — Taylor Swift is officially part of Kelce's hometown story.
