Here's all the Taylor Swift songs that feature in season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty – including 'You're Losing Me' and 'False God'.
The Summer I Turned Pretty fans will know exactly how much Taylor Swift's music inspired author Jenny Han when she wrote the book series. Taylor's music is also now a key part of the show's storytelling through its soundtrack.
The Summer I Turned Pretty season 1 featured five Taylor tracks while season 2 upped the count to nine – including 'Delicate (Taylor's Version)' which still hasn't even officially released by Taylor.
In season 3's trailer, a stunning mix of 'Red' and 'Daylight' were used to bring Belly's feelings towards Conrad and Jeremiah to life and now even more songs are set to appear in the final season.
Here's all the Taylor Swift songs that have popped up in the third and final season of the show.
Taylor's heartbreaking Midnights vault track plays at the end of the first episode following Belly and Jeremiah's argument at the party. After declaring that she'll "never trust" Jeremiah ever again, the episode ends with Belly leaving and the song's emotional bridge plays over the credits.
Taylor is finally back! After Belly found out Jeremiah had "cheated" on her, Taylor has been notably absent from the soundtrack and fans came up with a theory that it might be because Belly was on auto-pilot, no longer feeling her true emotions.
Fast forward to Episode 6 and Belly helps bandage one of Conrad's wounds from surfing. While doing so, the pair suddenly end up very close to each other and 'False God' plays.
Conrad leaves and Belly states in a concerned voiceover: "What just happened? What did I almost do? This time wasn't like with the peaches. This time it was all me."
The floodgates have well and truly opened on Taylor's music in season 3 now, with the beautiful TTPD song underscoring an emotional Belly scene.
In a flashback to their childhood, Belly remembers a time when she wasn't burdened by adulthood and everything going on with her feelings surrounding Jeremiah and Conrad. After briefly disappearing at a mall as a kid, she's found by Conrad who says, "From now on, we still together, ok?"
"Conrad was always looking out for me, maybe after all this time, he still is," she narrates over the scene.
The sweet easter egg appears to imply that Conrad and Belly are meant to be, and have been since they were kids.
Right at the end of the episode, Taylor's devastating 'loml' plays as Conrad is crying on the bench by himself shortly after confessing to Belly that he's still in love with her.
Belly tells him he's too late and tells him to his face that they were "never anything".
Taylor's heartbreaking lyrics reflect both Conrad and Belly's feelings towards each other, from differing perspectives.

Those deep in the Summer I Turned Pretty lore will know exactly why Taylor's songs feature so prevalently throughout the show. The original novel, published in 2009, was inspired by Fearless' 'The Way I Loved You'.
Explaining how Taylor's music influenced the show, Jenny Han previously revealed to Cinema Blend: "I make playlists for books and I tend to do that at the beginning of the writing process to help me sort of tap into the emotional vein of the stories. 'The Way I Loved You' - that's something I was listening to when I was writing it originally."
Speaking about Taylor agreeing to let her music be used on the show, Jenny added: "I couldn't believe it. That's probably the most excited I've been in the whole process and the fact that we got like five total, which I'm really excited for the fans to see, because it will be like, I think maybe unexpected at times at certain big moments."
So far, over 15 songs have been used in the actual series. Several other tracks have also been used in various trailers over the years.
