It’s Bridgerton season, which means we get to escape into our guilty pleasure world of royal courts, glittering ballrooms, steamy affairs and, of course, Lady Whistledown this weekend. With the latest iteration turning the spotlight on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newtown) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan), there’s sure to be plenty of high-stakes drama—courtesy of the meddling, matchmaking mamas steering the marriage mart, jealous suitors vying for the season’s “diamond” and Peneople’s big, earth-shattering secret (IYKYK). The three seasons, set in the Regency era, will take you on a ride back in time (the fun kind), but the one modern element it retains is its preppy, tailored-for-every-mood playlist. Bridgerton thrives in creating symphonic pop reimaginings of chart-busting contemporary songs, from a Vitamin String Quartet cover of Maroon 5’s Girls Like You to a Midnite String Quartet version of Miley Cyrus’ Wrecking Ball. In season three, the list has only gotten more exciting. Here are the artists whose covers you can expect in the latest iteration of the show, part of which dropped on Netflix today.
Bridgerton season 3 will feature covers of this popular K-pop band and a host of other amazing artists. Know who they are
1. BTS
The BTS x Bridgerton crossover is the stuff of dreams for pop culture nuts. The new season will feature the popular K-pop band’s Dynamite, the first song they completely recorded in English, which has over 1.8 billion views on YouTube and Spotify. This upbeat disco-pop track has elements of funk, soul, and bubblegum pop.
2. Taylor Swift and Lana Del Ray
