Prime Video's The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 soundtrack in full
*Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3* The Summer I Turned Pretty has kicked off its third and final season, with main character Belly Conklin still at the heart of a brutal love triangle. Adapted from showrunner Jenny Han's beloved YA novels, the latest series follows Belly (played by Lola Tung) as she navigates life as a university student. Alongside school work, she is also juggling a long-term relationship with Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno). But when Belly's ex-boyfriend and Jeremiah's older brother, Conrad (played by Christopher Briney), returns into their lives, she is forced to face her unresolved feelings for the older Fisher brother. The Summer I Turned Pretty's third series has already featured huge pop songs (Image: Amazon Content Services LLC) While the series packs plenty of its drama on its own, Prime Video viewers have also grown to appreciate the show's impressive soundtrack. It has also become tradition for the series to drop Easter Eggs through needle drops, especially when it comes to Taylor Swift songs. Below, we've detailed The Summer I Turned Pretty's season three soundtrack so far, and explained what *that* Taylor Swift song could mean for the characters. Dreams by the Cranberries Open Arms by SZA Can't Stop by the Red Hot Chili Peppers FRI(END)S by V Get Loud by Coi Leray HOT TO GO! by Chappell Roan Summer Love by Justin Timberlake reason to live by mehro NANi by Saweetie Lovin on Me by Jack Harlow Dilemma by Kelly Rowland and Nelly Good Luck, Babe! by Chappell Roan i like the way you kiss me by Artemas You're Losing Me (From the Vault) by Taylor Swift Episode 1's Taylor Swift song spells trouble for Team Jeremiah (Image: Prime Video ) The series premiere ended on a sour note as Belly discovered that Jeremiah had cheated on her while on Spring Break in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. As Belly ran away from Jeremiah, who was desperately trying to explain himself, Swift's You're Losing Me began playing. The song's lyrics detail a long-term relationship that is on the brink of collapse, despite the singer's efforts to keep it alive. If this song signifies Belly's state of mind, it appears she has been fighting to keep her relationship with Jeremiah strong, but his betrayal may be the final straw. What's more, lyrics in the song's bridge could be hinting at Jeremiah and Belly calling off their engagement, which takes place in the second episode. Swift sings: "And I wouldn't marry me either. A pathological people pleaser." You're Losing Me is the only Swift song featured in the season so far, which could mean Team Jeremiah are in for an unsatisfying ending. lacy by Olivia Rodrigo i wish i hated you by Ariana Grande Rockin Around the Christmas Tree' by Brenda Lee Never Going Back Again by Fleetwood Mac Mystery of Love by Sufjan Stevens Forever and a Day by Benson Boone Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish Littlest Things by Lily Allen Everything Happens to Me by Bill Evans Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter 10,000 Emerald Pools by BØRNS No Surprises by Radiohead The Summer I Turned Pretty streams every Wednesday on Prime Video

I stumbled on bloodbath after 4 pals were stabbed in Idaho murders…ghouls blamed ME but chilling messages exposed killer
EDGING open the door to the student digs, Hunter Johnson sensed there was something wrong - but he could never have predicted the horrific scene he was about to discover. Lying on the floor, in pools of blood, were the bodies of two of his closest friends, Ethan Chapin, 20 and Xana Kernodle, 20 - stabbed to death by a frenzied knifeman. 16 University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves (second from left, bottom) and Madison Mogen (second from left, top), Ethan Chapin (center) and Xana Kernodle (second from right) were stabbed to death in their beds as they slept Credit: Rex 16 Best friend Hunter Johnson walked in and found a horrific sight Credit: © Amazon Content Services LLC 16 With the killer at large, panic soon spread around campus Credit: Alamy The bodies of two more classmates, best friends Maddie Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, lay in a nearby room, The gruesome slaying of the four friends in the early hours of November 13, 2022, shocked the nation and sparked panic through the sleepy, small-town community of Moscow, Idaho. And last week, 30-year-old criminology PhD student Bryan Kohberger confessed to carrying out the killings, after two long years of denial. Now, the full story is revealed in the new Amazon docuseries One Night in Idaho: The College Murders, with accounts from fellow students, housemates and families of the victims as well as chilling insights into the twisted games killer Kohberger played after the massacre. Read More Features It was in the early hours of the morning that housemate Dylan Mortensen awoke to the sound of a muffled commotion upstairs - and then the terrifying sight of a man walking past her bedroom door. In this half-asleep haze, she made a frightened dash to her friend Bethany's room in the basement. But, come the morning, she realised what she'd seen was no dream. When their fellow housemates weren't answering their phones, the two girls made a desperate call to friends Hunter Johnson and Emily Alandt, who lived just round the corner. Most read in The Sun 'I don't think I've ever locked a single door in Moscow. When Dylan had called, I didn't think it was urgent, so I started walking to Xana's house, and when we got there, Dylan and Bethany had exited the house,' recalled Emily. 'They looked frightened, just hands on the mouth like, 'I don't know what's going on' type of thing.' Idaho victim's sister shares gut-wrenching open letter slamming Bryan Kohberger's last-minute plea deal & begs for trial Hunter Johnson bravely went up the stairs to the room on the second floor. There he found the blood-soaked bodies of his closest friend Ethan, and girlfriend Xana. To protect the others from what he had stumbled upon he ushered them out of the house and urged them to call 911. Crime scene tape now surrounded the house, but the cops weren't giving answers. And housemates Maddie and Kaylee still weren't answering their phones. Panic Spreads Ethan's twin brother, Hunter, who also attended the University of 'They all just had this look on their face, like the world had ended,' he said. ''Where's Ethan?' I asked. And they're like: 'Ethan's not here anymore'. 16 Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves were life-long friends Credit: Instagram/autumngoncalves 16 Devastated friends and family soon arrived to the college town in Idaho Credit: Instagram 16 Seven weeks after the killings, criminology graduate Bryan Kohberger was arrested Credit: AP 'I couldn't face the fact that he was dead.' Maddie's boyfriend then called her mum, Karen, informing her there'd been a homicide at her house. She called the police, who had no answers - so she headed straight to the town. 'The whole time, my mindset was we're going to pick up Maddie and Kaylee and bring them home, console them and hug them and figure out just what happened,' she said. But it was a hug she would never get to give. At that moment, phones in the town pinged with an alert sent straight from the local police department - revealing the fate of the two missing girls. 'Moscow Police continue to investigate the death of four people near campus,' it read. Four of their best friends were dead. But there were no arrests, no suspects, and why they had been so horrifically murdered was a mystery. We were just sitting in the sliding doors of this hotel lobby, just crying out loud Jim Chapin "We got to the police department, I remember running up the stairs and just trying to find anyone to talk to," Maddie's mum Karen said when she found out her own daughter was dead. "The officer explained there had been a homicide in your daughter's house, and that there are four victims. "Instantly we were like 'that didn't make sense.' And he said, 'Maddie was a victim'." Jim Chapin, Ethan's father, recalls the families' reaction after the police confirmed the victims' names: 'We were sitting by the sliding doors of this hotel lobby, just crying out loud." Online hate It had been at least six years since a homicide in the town, so police were ill-prepared to deal with the deluge of media attention they now found themselves under. Cops refused to hold interviews or press conferences and rumours soon filled the vacuum. 1122 King Road was known for being a party house, and there was speculation that drug use was rampant, that it was an overdose that killed them. Then things turned even more sinister. 16 Maddie's mum Karen initially thought her daughter was still alive Credit: Courtesy of Prime Video 16 The house of horrors soon became a fascination for online amateur sleuths Credit: Derek Shook for Fox News Digital 16 Ethan, a triplet, was stabbed in bed alongside his girlfriend Xana Credit: Instagram 'It came like a freight train out of nowhere,' said David Berriochoa, a friend of the victims. Amateur sleuths were posting to Tiktok and YouTube with their theories - and they were trawling through the often public accounts of the victims and those close to them to find out more. Often, all it took was a photo with the deceased for conspiracies to start snowballing. Grieving friends like David and Hunter were accused of being the killers, while strangers searched for reasons to blame Dylan and Bethany, the surviving housemates. 'My inbox was full, just the worst, most heinous things I had ever read,' said David. 'I hope you fry,' one message said, while information about his address, car, and parents' workplace were posted online. 'I was once again fearing for my life - but for a completely different reason,' he added. Some even dressed up as students to gain access to the dorms, and the house 1122 King Street - became a ghoulish tourist attraction. I lost a best friend. People thought I killed him Hunter Johnson A video of Hunter Johnson with zip ties round his wrists - which was actually for a drinking game - led online detectives to brand him "zip tie guy" and accuse him of the killing. 'I lost a best friend. People thought I killed him. That was really depressing to me,' says Hunter. 16 Maddie was murdered along with her best friend Kaylee Credit: Instagram/autumngoncalves 16 The house was eventually demolished Credit: AP Evil taunts Weeks had gone past, and there were still no answers. Groups on Facebook sprung up with hundreds of thousands of members posting questions and theories about what happened. But on the University of Idaho Murders - Case Discussion forum, one poster's creepy questions struck an eerie note. Going by the name Pappa Rodger, he had an unusual fascination with the details of the crime scene, asking things like 'Which hand do you think they used to kill with?' and 'Did the killer shower at the crime scene afterwards?'. Local police had announced that they were looking for a White Hyundai that had been spotted driving past the property twice the day of the murders, shortly before and then at around 9am the same morning. 'I feel like the white car isn't relevant,' wrote Pappa Rodger. 'It's a red herring.' 16 After the murder, Kohberger started posting on Facebook groups dedicated to discussing the case Credit: Getty 16 Friends of the victims were accused of being the killer themselves Credit: Splash 16 Kohberger was eventually identified thanks to DNA found at the scene Credit: Getty It turned out that this was no coincidence. Seven weeks after the murders, police arrested criminology student Bryan Kohberger, who was living just a 15 minute drive away in Pullman, Washington. He had left behind the knife sheath, which allowed investigators to match his DNA. Phone data and his connection to the white Hyundai further confirmed to police that they had the man they were after. And the moment he was arrested, all traces of Pappa Rodger disappeared. Friends of the victims were baffled. Kohberger was unknown to everyone - a nobody who, as far as they were away, they had never crossed paths with. 'Any theory that I had was just thrown out the door,' said Hunter. He's smart, but he's like a robot Josh Ferraro But to those who knew Kohberger, his arrest wasn't that surprising. Prior to studying in Washington, Kohhberger was in forensic psychology classes at a university in Pennsylvania. He seemed a lonely guy - so classmate Josh Ferraro made an effort to get to know him. 'He was an oddball,' Josh remembered. 'He's smart, but he's like a robot, purely based off the fact of his social inability to perform in a normal human manner. 'I can absolutely see someone like him being involved in something like this." Sick obsessions Classmates remember him for being a top student, but obsessed with the likes of Ted Bundy and Yet, through his choice of subject, Kohberger had a free pass to delve into serial killers and their motives without raising suspicion. 16 Despite speculation, the true motives remain unknown Credit: Instagram 16 Ethan's brother Hunter still feels the hole in his life caused by his murder Credit: © Amazon Content Services LLC And the lessons he learnt in university no doubt helped him to murder the four young students in Idaho. Prosecutors filed for the death penalty, but on July 2, Kohberger finally admitted guilt in a plea deal that will see him avoid death row. Still unknown, however, is why this random - yet seemingly targeted - attack was carried out at all. But many suspect this was a case of an Kohberger had long been known to have trouble with women. He once went on a date with a girl, and insisted on walking her back to her dorm, where he kept trying to tickle her. After their date, he texted: 'You have good birthing hips.' Altercations with students had even led to him being fired from his teaching position just days before he was arrested. There's never a moment in my life now where the thought of Ethan not being here isn't there Hunter Chapin Kohberger also seemed to have a particular fascination with There are eerie parallels - including Kohberger's Facebook name, 'Pappa Rodger'. One of the girls killed by Kohberger, Maddie, was also in the same sorority that Elliot Rodger had intentionally targeted. The truth may never be revealed. But for those who knew Maddie, Kaylee, Ethan and Xana, it's a day that changed their lives forever. 'There's never a moment in my life now where the thought of Ethan not being here isn't there,' said Hunter. 'It's something that I don't think will ever go away.' Karen, Maddie's mum, added: 'How would Maddie and Kaylee want to see me? 'Would they want to see me crying in my pyjamas, and unable to get out of bed? Or would they want to see me talking about them and how happy and amazing they are? 'You never know how strong you are until strong is all you can be.'

Thousands Of Costumes Were Handmade For Prime's ‘House Of David'
David (Michael Iskander) in HOUSE OF DAVID S1 Photo Credit: Jonathan Prime/Prime © Amazon Content Services LLC As much as I would like to, I cannot tell you exactly how many costumes were handmade for The House of David, an excellent new series you can find on Amazon Prime. When I met with the show's costume designer, Mayou Trikerioti, it was literally the first question I asked. She couldn't tell you the total number either, though that's not for lack of trying. When production was wrapping up, in the costume department group chat, Trikerioti asked the costume team to help her tally everything up. 'I said, guys, can we make a note of how many costumes we hired or rented or made? And the items we made or embroidered? Everybody was like, no way. It was impossible,' she told me. Every costume department works in multiples because any production needs backups, costumes for stunts and for stand-ins, and sometimes costumes have to change, like when a garment needs to show damage. But The House of David goes much, much further than all of that, which does an enormous credit to the show. Under Trikerioti, a literal army of designers and makers created a massive quantity of costumes ever created, one of the largest wardrobes ever made for a single production. And these multitudinous costumes were made by hand, as in hand sewn and even hand embroidered. I am not sure I can understate the magnitude of what Mayou Trikerioti created. It is astonishing work, and I write that completely without hyperbole. Goliath (Martyn Ford) in HOUSE OF DAVID S1 Photo Credit: Nikos Nikolopoulos/Prime © Amazon Content Services LLC Trikerioti joined the House of David team early on in production, and before she began making anything, the designer began visiting the big name costume hires, like Peris Costumes, seeing what already existed and could be rented for extras and what fabrics might be available for everything else. She began producing sort-of podcasts, nothing ever to be made public, but as a way to share what she was thinking with the director/producers, Jon Erwin, Jon Gun, and production designer, Chad Krowchuk. 'Our amazing production designer,' that's how Trikerioti described him, 'he's been massively supportive and it's a joy to get on really well with your fellow creatives.' One feature of the larger costume houses that audiences might not know about? 'These costume warehouses also have fabric. You can actually put together a live mood board of colors and textures. And that was what my podcasts were about.' A digital illustration from the work designing costumes for Ayelet Zurer as Ahinoam. Before she accepted the job she found herself sketching, drawings she brought digital copies of to an early meeting. 'We were discussing the creative side of it, because that was the last step,' the designer told me. 'Erwin was saying how he envisioned it, what he liked from other shows, what he didn't like from other shows. And in the end, I was like, ok, fantastic, can I show you something?' Trikerioti showed him three of her sketches and it sounds like kismet, an advantageous meeting of minds, whatever the right way to explain something so intangible. 'At that point, I felt like the communication was flowing. And we had the same vision, which has been a blessing throughout this year, because there is total trust. It's great.' Early on, Trikerioti told me, 'I was just putting things together. Just fabrics and textures and types of clothing and types of tunics and figuring out the direction for this world, immersed in lots of costumes and fabrics. It was mostly for background, because obviously all the principles' costumes are handmade, it was more to create the feel. I think communication is really key. Like, I'm really massive on that, just keeping the information flowing within the department. And obviously, with the directors, the producers, I need to keep the information everywhere.' Achish (Alexander Uloom) with an ornate sword and shield. The designer was working with her team in the United Kingdom when she began her research in earnest. It sounds like a bit of a daunting task, to costume hundreds of people for a story that takes place a thousand years before the birth of Jesus Christ. I mean, where does a person even start? 'We had the Victoria & Albert Museum, the British Library and the British Museum at our fingertips,' she told me. 'You can actually see costumes in the archives. You can see relics. I also had the Library of the London College of Fashion, that was a big support to me.' This is where one of the biggest challenges lay, extant garments are nonexistent and there are not a lot of surviving images from ancient times which show what people were wearing. Especially not regular people. 'There were lots of written accounts,' Trikerioti explained. It turned out that random written descriptions of clothing from surviving texts from the era offered the best, historically accurate information about what the characters in this story would have worn. 'We tried to make drawings out of the descriptions, to illustrate, and then to create our own.' A digital Illustration of costumes for Michael Iskander as David for "House of David." All the preliminary work was turned into a show bible, 'I picked and chose what I liked,' Trikerioti told me, 'and that was the research that, moving forward, everybody that worked on House of David's costume department used. Obviously, people extended the research and that was fabulous.' Trikerioti is the furthest thing from imperious, and as she told me about the process I saw how the excellent costumes are the result of a maestro allowing and encouraging those working under her to do their best work the way that work needed to be done. 'It was setting the rules in a way,' the designer explained, 'and within those rules, we were setting smaller rules for world creation.' Perhaps related to her process, her eye for every detail, the space where costumes are made matters to this designer. 'I'm a deep believer in being immersed in an environment,' Trikerioti explained to me. 'We had three big lots of square meter locations for costumes. When we were setting up the first one, I wallpapered all the rooms with all the research, with all the different tribes, with all the color schemes. It was the research and clothes, fabrics, fabric colors, embroidery. It was really, really beautiful. You could look at one wall and that was one tribe and you could look at another wall and that was one army. We even put the families on the wall. Because there are a lot of names and a lot of people and a lot of relationships. We put all the family trees on the wall. And then, of course, the designs as well, but that followed later.' Joab (Aury Alby), King Saul (Ali Suliman) and Prince Jonathan (Ethan Kai) in HOUSE OF DAVID It would have been easy for the many tribes and armies in this story to blend together, perhaps even easier for all the clothing to become lost in a fog of dusty brown. Instead the flowers in an insignia, the metal used to make a circlet, the weave of a piece of braided leather armor; any decorative detail is not mere ornamentation. I have often argued that our clothing gives away all our secrets. Costumes do this too, but they are purposeful communication between storyteller and audience. The clothing characters wear can be created to deftly pass on information that cannot be left to dialogue or exposition. When I see that type of purposeful design I feel better about the world. Because people doing good work well, work that they love, that matters. And witnessing it helps all of us be better people. Getting to do work we love well helps us to be better people. Princess Mirab (Yali Topol Margalith), Queen Ahinoam (Ayelet Zurer), King Saul (Ali Suliman), Prince Jonathan (Ethan Kai) and Princess Mychal (Indy Lewis). Mayou Trikerioti is absolutely an artist. If you watch carefully, you'll see certain colors, specific plants or flowers, purposeful use of veils and detailed weaponry, artisan pieces, all of it with a deeper meaning. That's Trikerioti winking at us, telling us all the things about the characters on screen that words can not be relied upon to communicate. It is fabulous and it is fun to see such intelligent and exceptional work. The full first season of House of David is available to stream now on Amazon Prime.
