Of all the unforgettable bangers Taylor Swift delivered with her 2014 opus 1989, one of the most underappreciated tracks on the album is arguably “This Love.” But in Swift’s ongoing endeavor to re-record most of her discography, the song finally gets a new life today, as the megastar has teased a snippet of “This Love (Taylor’s Version).” Heard in a trailer for the forthcoming Prime Video series, The Summer I Turned Pretty, it hints that a 2022 version of 1989 might be on the way.
“Thank you @jennyhan for debuting my version of This Love in the trailer for @thesummeriturnedpretty!!” Swift wrote on Instagram. “I’ve always been so proud of this song and I’m very 🥺🥺🥺 about this turn of events – This Love (Taylor’s Version) comes out tonight at m i d n i g h t!”
Swift’s version takes “This Love” from a synth-pop slowburner to a full-blown cinematic trip, fit for a coming-of-age montage filled with fireworks, first kisses, and long walks on the beach. Thankfully, all those events appear in the trailer for The Summer I Turned Pretty, based on Jenny Han’s bestselling young adult novel of the same name. The series hits Prime Video June 17th.
