Taylor Swift's Songs Set The Mood As Drama Escalates In The Summer I Turned Pretty Teaser
Last Updated:
The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 teaser ends with Conrad at Belly's door, and the song switches to Red, suggesting that the drama is far from over.
Prime Video has finally released the official teaser for The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3, based on Jenny Han's popular book trilogy. At the end of season 2, Conrad, played by Christopher Briney, was seen grappling with his mother's illness, while Belly (Lola Tung) ended up with his brother, Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). This led many to believe the love triangle had been resolved. However, the new teaser shows Belly and Jeremiah enjoying their romance, set to Taylor Swift's Daylight. The teaser takes a dramatic turn when it ends with Conrad standing at Belly's door, as the song shifts to Red, hinting that the drama is far from over.
As per the official synopsis, 'It's the end of her junior year of college, and Belly's looking forward to another summer in Cousins with her soulmate, Jeremiah. Her future seems set, until some core-shaking events bring her first love Conrad back into her life. Now on the brink of adulthood, Belly finds herself at a crossroads and must decide which brother has her heart. Summer will never be the same…"
Speaking about season 3 with Entertainment Weekly, The Summer I Turned Pretty author and co-showrunner Jenny Han said, 'It's very sweet and there are so many amazing scenes for Belly and Jeremiah this season, so many. Lola and Gavin have really great chemistry and got into such a good rhythm with each other, because we do have a little bit of a time jump going into season 3, so they needed to have that kind of bond, and it was really seamless. It'll be joyful for people to witness it."
The author also shared that Conrad has been away for some time and is now making his return. With the time jump, everyone has undergone some changes. The story will explore how Conrad perceives the changes in Belly, Jeremiah, and Steven, and how they, in turn, see him differently. It's as if they're all getting to know each other again, and viewers will witness how distance and time have impacted their relationships.
The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 will start streaming from July 16 on Prime Video.

Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos unsure if launching in India with Sacred Game was ideal, says something ‘more populist' might have worked better: ‘If I did it all over again…'
Sacred Games was the first Indian original series that Netflix ever produced. Starring Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, the show was critically acclaimed, and largely seen as the conduit to a new era of bolder, more challenging programming. The series was based on the book of the same name by Vikram Chandra, and was co-directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag Kashyap. While it remains one of the most acclaimed series that the Indian streaming industry has produced, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said that it was perhaps not the ideal way to enter the Indian market. In an appearance on Nikhil Kamath's podcast, Sarandos admitted that the Indian market is a difficult one to crack, mainly because Indian consumers are inherently suspicious of subscription. Netflix has taken a more populist approach to programming in recent years, and has struck deals with the likes of TV mainstays Kapil Sharma and Ekta Kapoor. During the conversation, Sarandos spoke about Sacred Games, and suggested that it might have painted Netflix out to be too high-brow for the Indian consumer. Also read – Vikramaditya Motwane reacts to Saif Ali Khan trashing Sacred Games season 2, explains 'main reason' it didn't meet expectations Asked about India as a market, and the reality that Netflix doesn't have a significant share of it yet, Sarandos said, 'It took us a couple of years to get the product-market fit right. Our very first Indian original show was Sacred Games. And I thought, 'This is going to be great. People in India love movies. This is a TV show that feels as big as a movie, it has movie stars.' What's interesting about it is that it was very, very novel, but what I didn't understand that we were introducing a brand new kind of entertainment in a country the size of India.' He continued, 'For me, if I did it all over again, would I have done Sacred Games a couple of years later, and did things that were more populist (instead)? Maybe. But we knew that India was going to be a slower journey to get to where we wanted to get to. But it's a great prize, at the end of the day. The addressable market is growing in the next couple of years in India, so it's exciting.' Sacred Games was unofficially cancelled after two seasons. Kashyap said that plans for a third season were underway, but Netflix got cold feet after the controversy that erupted around Prime Video's Tandav. He told Mashable India, 'Vikram Motwane was driving Sacred Games. Ten days before I was supposed to go shoot Mukkabaaz, he asked me to come on board. I told him I was always interested, but they had a problem with me. Some local people had told them that I didn't have a female audience. It was my zone, and they eventually came around… A season three was supposed to come out, but they shut it down, Netflix would know why.' He also criticised Sarandos and Netflix in a social media post following the success of Adolescence, and said that the Indian branch of the streamer wouldn't dare greenlight something like it. 'Netflix India is a totally opposite sh**show. If they were pitched this, most probably they would have rejected it or turned it into a 90 minute film (that too seems like an impossibility because it doesn't have an ending that is black and white),' he wrote.

Taylor Swift Jokes About Getting Her First Tattoo After Buying Back Her Music
Last Updated: The singer revealed that she acquired the master recordings with the help of partners at Shamrock Capital. Bringing a long-running battle over the custody of her music to an end, Taylor Swift recently became the rightful owner of her first six albums. In a letter shared on her website, the singer revealed that she acquired the master recordings with the help of partners at Shamrock Capital. Swift even joked about inking a permanent Shamrock Capital tattoo on her forehead. She wrote, 'I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made … now belongs … to me. And all my music videos. All the concert films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work." Expressing gratitude to the private equity company Shamrock Capital, the singer added, 'My first tattoo might just be a huge shamrock in the middle of my forehead." Swift previously said that she was against getting anything permanently inked on her body. 'I don't think I could ever commit," she said in an interview with Taste of Country. 'If I was going to get something, it would be a 13, but, I don't want to get a tattoo." Taylor Swift had been fighting to regain her music rights since 2019 after businessman Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings bought her former record label, Big Machine Label Group, for $330 million. Soon after, Braun sold Swift's masters of her first six albums to Shamrock Capital for $405 million. Back then, Swift had publicly stated she wasn't informed of the deal or given a chance to buy them. She wanted to own her masters and had been working to regain control of her music ever since. During this time, the singer released re-recorded versions of four out of her first six albums, including Fearless, Red, Speak Now and 1989. The two left are her 2006 self-titled debut and 2017's Reputation. Since 2019, starting with her album Lover, Swift has been the rightful owner of her master recordings. First Published:
