‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’s Lola Tung Nearly Passed Out When Taylor Swift Called Her Out

Lola Tung—widely recognized as Belly in The Summer I Turned Pretty—recounts a magical moment from Taylor Swift’s 2023 Eras Tour. Standing mere feet away with author and showrunner Jenny Han, Lola remembers Swift locking eyes with them, flashing a heart sign and saying “I love you guys.” The experience left her so overwhelmed that she “nearly passed out,” calling it “great” during her July 15 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Bridging the Show and Swift’s Songs

Taylor Swift’s music has become deeply intertwined with the series, evoking the emotional highs and lows of Belly’s journey. On Fallon’s show, Lola explained that Swift also performed “False God”—a song featured in the show—during that same concert moment.

When asked about her favorite Swift song in the series, she struggled to choose, eventually naming both “The Way I Loved You” and “Delicate.” A lifelong Swift fan, she shared memories of falling asleep to Fearless, Speak Now, and Red on a CD player, explaining how those albums helped shape her before fame hit.

Season 3 Debuts July 16

Fans now have even more reason to celebrate: the third and final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty premieres July 16 on Prime Video, with Taylor Swift’s music once again featured prominently. The trailer teases scenes set to “Daylight” from Lover and the title track from Red—continuing the deep musical connection that mirrors Belly’s experience.
