If you’ve been watching The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 religiously, you’ll know Taylor Swift’s discography has been used multiple times through the episodes we’ve seen so far. Frankly, her songs made the perfect soundtrack for a sordid teen love triangle that continues to make bad decisions the more that time goes on.
As it stands, Belly (Lola Tung) is set to marry burnout Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), despite almost everybody in existence agreeing that it’s a bad idea. Meanwhile, Jeremiah’s brother Conrad (Christopher Brine) is still hopelessly in love with her, and at season 3’s halfway point, that’s starting to pay off.
This week, there’s also something pressing developing in the Swiftie world. Thanks to social media clips, we know Swift is set to fully reveal her twelfth album (TS12, as it’s known) on today’s episode of the New Heights podcast, co-hosted by her boyfriend Travis Kelce. She’s given away the title, The Life of a Showgirl, but nothing else, with the cover art blurred until the episode itself drops. It’s the biggest news of the day, with pre-sales of the album crashing Swift’s site mere seconds after the teaser clips went live on August 11th.
