Nothing says summer quite like the soundtrack of The Summer I Turned Pretty. From the emotional Taylor Swift bridges that tug at your heartstrings to the windows-down bangers that make you feel like you’re driving straight to Cousins Beach, the music plays an important role in the story just as much as Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah do. Whether you’re Team Jeremiah, Team Conrad, or simply Team Summer, this playlist will help you channel all the nostalgia, late-night crushes, and bittersweet moments that define the series. So even though summer has almost neared its end, I have prepared the ultimate playlist for The Summer I Turned Pretty lovers!
