For the first season, the soundtrack included five songs from Swift. This time around, Swift debuted her highly anticipated “This Love (Taylor’s Version)” in the trailer, which was also kept secret from the cast! Fans were also surprised after they heard “Back to December (Taylor’s Version)”, which was released as part of her newest project Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) on July 7th.
The first three episodes of season 2 premiered on July 14th and featured “Last Kiss (Taylor’s Version),” “This Love (Taylor’s Version),” and “Hey Stephen (Taylor’s Version).”
Speaking with The Daily Californian, Tung revealed, “We didn’t find out until the day they released the teaser, which was incredibly exciting to open my Instagram and see the folks in the teaser. I think it’s such a beautiful song, and it fits perfectly with the show and the relationships in the show.”
Swift is currently breaking records left and right, recently making history by becoming the first woman ever to have four albums simultaneously in the top 10. The remarkable feat was accomplished as her album Speak Now (Taylor Version) made an enormous debut at the coveted No. 1 position.
