Heartstopper earned quite the reputation for its music choices with a stellar soundtrack in season 1, and they've managed to level up the second time around.

Though many fans predicted the show would use Paris from Midnights to be on theme with the season's trip to the French city, folklore turned out to be the winning era!

In season 2, which began streaming on Thursday, the series pays homage to the 33-year-old singer and her folklore album with the track seven, which is featured in episode 8.

The song's themes of a troubled home life tie in perfectly to the storylines of Tara and Darcy throughout the season, culminating in a moving moment that celebrates the joy they've found in their relationship as well within the friend group as a whole.

In true Swift fashion, Heartstopper left an Easter egg prior to the song being played that hinted at which track it would be.

In episode 7, the first look at Tara's room reveals a poster bearing the folklore album cover on it, teasing seven's feature in the following episode.

Seven is played in almost its entirety as the friends revel in their post-prom celebrations. It's safe to say that the scene completely thrilled fans, with many gushing over how perfectly it fits the scene.

"INSTANT tears. im not even kidding. i couldn't breathe," one fan said.

Along with Swift, the season's soundtrack also featured The 1975, Maggie Rogers, Conan Gray, Lucy Dacus, and more.
