The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 dropped a special Belly-Conrad moment, and this Taylor Swift song in it surprised me

The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 has released its sixth episode, and the tensions are at an all-time high. The countdown to the wedding day has begun, but the hurdles keep escalating for Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad.

While the characters experienced several highs and lows in episode 6, the ending provided an intense moment between Belly and Conrad. The tension did not just make Belly's heart race, but had me hooked to the scene, too.

The anticipated interaction intrigued me about the future, with the show finally giving some clues about what's on Belly's mind regarding Conrad. However, making the scene extra special was that Taylor Swift's False God was playing in the background at the end.

Episode 6 of The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 ended with a charged moment, promising more challenges coming in Belly's way. Having experienced a cosy bridal shower with the beloved, Belly's return to Cousins brings her heart to the test.

As the protagonist returns to the summer house to complete more wedding chores, she finds Conrad there, heading to the beach to surf. He returns moments later, wounded by a fin cut. With Conrad in pain, Belly rushes to aid him.

This scene between the two is intense, making Belly's heart skip a beat. Adding to this, Taylor Swift's song, False God, from the album Lover, starts playing in the background. Their current situation is aptly described by the lyrics complementing the scene:

"We were crazy to think, crazy to think this could work; Remember how I said I'd die for you"

The tune of False God and Belly's racing heart go parallel, making the scene more impactful. After Conrad exits from the bathroom, Belly is left stunned at her unexpected rush of feelings. As she sits down in shock at the edge of the bathtub, the episode ends with Taylor Swift singing the lyrics:

"We'd still worship this love"

I find the choice of song for the Belly and Conrad's moment suitable, as Taylor Swift's lyrics closely touch upon the two characters' moment and hidden feelings.

Taylor Swift's False God returned to the series for a similar moment between Belly and Conrad

While the addition of False God to The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 has excited many, it is intriguing to note that the song was previously featured in a similar moment between Belly and Conrad in season 1. In season 1, episode 4, the two meet at the dock after an eventful day.

The fourth of July celebrations did not go as expected, and Belly and Conrad casually catch up and discuss their situation, with fireworks in the background. The two are about to share an intimate moment, with False God playing in the background.

Although they are alerted by Jeremiah's firecrackers and the moment passes, the song's connection to the tension between Conrad and Belly is meaningful. This track reminds me of the strong bond they share, and its return in season 3 could mean that the duo may explore their hidden feelings soon.
