Surprising Taylor Swift Easter Egg Has ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Fans Going Wild originally appeared on Parade.
Throughout season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty, fans have been quick to spot all of the Taylor Swift references that could hint at who exactly Belly ends up with at the end of the series. But Jenny Han‘s latest easter egg has sent fans into a frenzy.
On Aug. 4, the showrunner and author shared a behind-the-scenes moment with actress Lola Tung on TikTok.
The actress who plays Belly in the show was filming the scene with Swift’s “All Too Well” playing in the background. In the caption, Han revealed that “All Too Well” was the the track she “had playing for Lola during this scene” from episode 2.
In the original scene, Belly completes Conrad’s (Christopher Briney) unfinished crossword puzzle after he disappeared during Christmas time and has Sufjan Stevens’ “Mystery of Love” playing in the back.
Fans were quick to share their surprise after Han shared the clip with one fan writing “Why wasn’t all to well used for [the scene]” and others adding that they are “unwell” after watching the clip.
Other fans online theorized that the song from Swift’s Red album could possibly be used later on or even hint at Belly’s true feelings.
“Jenny playing all too well for Lola during the P.S. I Still Love You scene I genuinely cannot take it ANY LONGER MS. HAN,” another fan wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).

In 2023, Han previously opened up to E! Newsabout how Swift’s music played an important part of the storytelling in The Summer I Turned Pretty and said it was “my no. 1 dream, to get one of [Swift’s] songs on this show.”
Han also explained that she knew that Swift’s songs also resonated with fans of both the books and the show and explained “it’s been so many years since the first book came out and so many people have been connecting her music to the story.”
“I knew what it would mean to me and I knew even more what it would mean to the people who have held these books really close to their hearts,” she said. “That just felt like the best gift I could ever give.”
New episodes of The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 are coming out weekly on Wednesdays at 12 a.m. PT/3 a.m. ET on Prime Video.
