Billy Joel is watching The Summer I Turned Pretty, along with the rest of the internet. The music icon revealed that he’s a fan, after he was name-dropped in the latest episode.
In episode 5 of season 3, the five-time Grammy winner, 76, gets an honorary mention as Belly Conklin (Lola Tung) goes to a high-end bakery in search of a wedding cake.
When Belly eyes a cake she wants, the shop owner says: “Billy Joel picked that cake for his 70th. We have a really exclusive client base.”
Joel reposted the clip on Instagram on Friday, Aug. 8. In the caption, he asked the question on many viewers’ minds this summer: “Are you Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah?”
The comment section was filled with fans of “The Piano Man” singer guessing which team he is on.
“Team Conrad because you know he listens to Billy Joel :))),” one Instagram user wrote.
Others found it humorous that the acclaimed musician was tuning in to the coming-of-age dramedy. “Why is Billy posting about TSITP 😂. Anyways the only right answer is team conrad🙌,” another user wrote.
The show’s official Instagram also entered the conversation, writing, “Was your birthday cake 70% or 80% cacao? 🎂🍫” in reference to a debate between Belly and her fiancé Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno) over the pricey wedding staple.
