Which TV series used Taylor Swift’s “august” in its season-two trailer?

The Summer I Turned Pretty used Taylor Swift’s “august” in the trailer for its second season. The series is a coming-of-age romantic drama based on Jenny Han’s novels.

The song’s wistful summer setting suited the show’s focus on beach holidays, changing friendships, and complicated young relationships. Its appearance helped introduce “august” to viewers who may not have previously followed Folklore or Swift’s annual August fan tradition.

The series has a particularly strong connection to Swift’s music. Its soundtrack includes numerous Swift songs, reflecting the emotional and seasonal themes of the story. The trailer’s use of “august” became one of the song’s notable later cultural appearances.

The show title is sometimes shortened informally, but the full official title is The Summer I Turned Pretty. It should not be confused with the similarly themed novels’ individual book titles or with another streaming teen drama.
