Taylor Swift’s music played a role during Jenny Han’s time writing The Summer I Turned Pretty book trilogy. In an appearance on Jenna Bush Hager’s Open Book podcastHan revealed that she constantly listened to “Fearless.” Subsequently, she began pondering “dedicating one of the books” to the singer at the time.

The author further revealed that she even once wrote a letter to Swift. It was to ask her permission to use her song “The Way I Loved You (Taylor’s Version)” in one of the series’ most iconic moments — a dance between Lola Tung’s Belly and Christopher Briney’s Conrad in Season 1.
