The Summer I Turned Pretty is back in the middle of internet buzz, and this time, it’s not just about Belly’s romance life—it’s about who will finally and truly hold on to her heart.
As Prime Video is all set in preparation to release TSITP Season 3, the series is doing what it does best: rousing up passionate internet debates amongst fans online.
Whether you're “Team Conrad” or “Team Jeremiah,” one thing is certain—Belly’s love life is about to get even scruffier, more passionate, and more sentimental than ever before.
Belly’s heart at war: The new twist in The Summer I Turned Pretty
"I once believed love would be burning red…but loving him was red…"
We all love some of Taylor Swift's references in The Summer I Turned Pretty, where her songs always spark an interesting debate among fans.
TSITP fans have always been split down the middle when it comes to one single thing: Conrad's brooding and gloomy soul versus Jeremiah’s golden retriever-like spirit.
Now, with Season 3 delving deeper into Jenny Han’s installment titled We’ll Always Have Summer, the lines are clearer yet even more complicated.
The teaser that just dropped a few days ago hints at a major time lapse, where Belly now fully seems steady with Jeremiah, yet moments filled with delicate imagery suggest otherwise.
It is widely known that there exists a Taylor Swift song for every single situation, and TSITP is no exception to this. Swift’s music in the teaser for The Summer I Turned Pretty draws an important emotional map for fans to dissect.
Belly’s untroubled scenes with Jeremiah float away along to the song "Daylight," covered in soft beige and blues.
Yet, the second Conrad reappears, with just one single “Hey,” Belly’s world seems to shift in dark red hues, mirroring the change to Swift’s song "Red."
It's a delicately crafted visual language with the use of Taylor’s songs—one that’s hard for fans to look past and ignore. Conrad’s “hey” and him appearing out of nowhere back into Belly’s life speak volumes about the unsolved feelings she might still be holding on to.
The Summer I Turned Pretty isn’t just narrating a love story—it’s taking on and representing the ache of growing up, making decisions, and coming to a realization that sometimes, love isn’t as easy as picking a team, as picking sides.
Team Jeremiah vs. Team Conrad: Why the debate is bigger than ever
The Summer I Turned Pretty has always been known for causing emotional whiplash, but Season 3, being the final installment, the show is now poised to break down whatever allegiances fans once had.
For many fans online, Jeremiah’s warm, lively allure makes him the apparent choice. His scenes with Belly, full of delight, dancing, and car road trips, capture a love that feels simple, safe, free, and exciting.
It's no surprise that “Team Jeremiah” fans proudly share their love for him across social media platforms.
Yet, delving deeper into The Summer I Turned Pretty, fans debate that Conrad’s soft, often grief-stricken love pulls on to a different story. Underneath his coldness is a boy who loved and cared for Belly way before she “turned pretty.”
Fans argue that his reserved personality isn’t coldness—it’s like a self-shield, and sometimes, it’s excruciatingly selfless. Moments like Conrad’s simple “hey” in the teaser carry more emotional heaviness for Belly than any grand gesture could ever.
In Season 3, it’s not just about which of the two is louder with their love, but about who recognizes Belly’s heart in its truest form.
The Summer I Turned Pretty makes one thing clear: this love triangle isn’t just about cherry-picking your favourite Fisher brother. It’s about asking questions about what real love looks like after loss and grief.
As The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 gets closer to its July 16 release, fans brace for an emotional rollercoaster ride unlike any other season before.
Whether you believe Jeremiah's happy light is what Belly needs or see Conrad’s complicated love to her true match, one thing is sure—no one is coming out of this story unaffected this summer.
In the end, it’s not just Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah—it’s about finding the love that feels right and a love that feels like home.
