Which Prime Video series featured Taylor Swift’s “august” in its second-season trailers and episodes?

The story behind the answer

The Summer I Turned Pretty featured Taylor Swift’s “august” in its second-season trailers and episodes.

The Prime Video coming-of-age series is based on Jenny Han’s novel trilogy and follows Belly Conklin through a summer love triangle involving brothers Conrad and Jeremiah. Its soundtrack uses Taylor Swift’s music extensively, making the show closely associated with Swift’s songs among viewers and fans.

For season two, “august” appeared alongside other Swift tracks, including “Back to December (Taylor’s Version),” “Last Kiss (Taylor’s Version),” “Invisible String,” “Sweet Nothing,” and “Exile.” The show’s beach setting and emotional coming-of-age story fit naturally with the late-summer mood listeners associate with “august.”

The series also helped expose the song to audiences who encountered it through television and trailers rather than the original 2020 album. It is separate from Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions, which is Swift’s own documentary performance film.
