It’s the Taylor Swift era and everyone is a Swiftie in it.
Whether it's heartbreak, newfound love, or revenge, Taylor Swift 's songs resonate with listeners on a deep level, and it's no surprise that filmmakers and TV show creators are starting to recognize the emotional power of her music.
Here are 6 times when Taylor Swift hit the right note in a movie or TV show.
1. Exile in You
Taylor's folk duet with Bon Iver's Justin Vernon is a part of one of the most heart-wrenching scenes for fans in You Season 3. In the season finale, it starts playing while Joe deals with his wife’s, Love Quinn, body, creating a fake crime scene and suicide note.
The song's reflective lyrics create a haunting atmosphere for this dramatic scene, paralleling the breakdown of Joe and Love's relationship. We really have seen this all before and we didn't like the ending.
2. This Love (Taylor's Version) in The Summer I Turned Pretty
This coming-of-age romantic drama is the biggest fan of Taylor Swift, as the whole show is soaked in the iconic songs of the artist. But it was Taylor's version of This Love, performed in the finale of the first season, that made our hearts skip a beat.
As Belly and Conrad finally share their first kiss on the beach, the soft and romantic essence of the song fits the moment more perfectly than any song could.
3. I Don't Wanna Live Forever in Fifty Shades Darker
Say what you want about the movie franchise, but the boat scene from the second installment set to Taylor Swift and Zayn Malik's I Don't Wanna Live Forever is iconic. With Christian allowing Anastasia to take the helm of his boat, this is a sweet scene that goes way beyond the physical attraction between the two characters.
4. Look What You Made Me Do in Killing Eve
A perfect fit for the psychopathic killer Villanelle and the dark tone she brings to the screen, Taylor Swift's Look What You Made Me Do plays while Villanelle is in the armory. The song, which is covered by the fictional band Jack Leopards & The Dolphin Club, adds an intense and sinister vibe to the scene, making it a perfect transition into the opening credits of Killing Eve.
5. Wildest Dreams in Bridgerton
Bridgerton's signature use of modern music and its transformation into exquisite instrumental versions includes the iconic Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift. This musical treatment is used to accompany a serene scene between Daphne and Simon on their honeymoon, in a rare moment of harmony between the two.
Despite the absence of lyrics, the violins and ambiance blend seamlessly to evoke a dreamy and emotional atmosphere, making this rendition a captivating addition to Bridgerton's musical charm.
6. Shake It Off in Sing
Remember when Taylor Swift's Shake It Off took this jukebox musical comedy by storm, becoming an anthem of resilience as characters faced their fears and embraced their true selves onstage?
The upbeat track set a vibrant tone for the movie's themes of self-discovery and helped the characters and audience shake off their troubles.
