Jenny Han is officially a part of Taylor Swift's love story.
The Summer I Turned Pretty author and showrunner was seen arriving at Madison Square Garden, where Swift is celebrating her wedding to Travis Kelce, wearing a strapless pink gown and black high heels.
Multiple sources previously told PEOPLE that the dress code for the Big Apple bash on Friday, July 3, was black tie.
Swift's music famously backed Han's hit Prime Video series, and Han is a longtime Swiftie.
Han's bestselling book trilogy — The Summer I Turned Pretty, It's Not Summer Without You and We'll Always Have Summer — was adapted into a three-season-long Prime Video series, and it will return for a feature film.

Swift's discography, which highlights the nuances of young womanhood and the complexity of romantic relationships through the ages, has played an important role in The Summer I Turned Pretty. The show focuses on a love triangle between brothers Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and their childhood friend Belly (Lola Tung), and the fallout of the love triangle's melodrama on their family and friends.
When pitching the show, Han knew she wanted Swift's music to be incorporated. She shared on Jenna Bush Hager's Open Book podcast that she "wrote a handwritten note" to Swift to get permission, explaining "how much it would mean — not just to me, but I thought to the fans. That was the gift I really wanted to give, because I'm like, they're gonna go crazy for this."
Swift ultimately gave her permission. Thirty of her songs have been featured across the three seasons of The Summer I Turned Pretty, per Deadline.
"She really — I felt like she is someone who bets on women. And I felt like she bet on me," the author continued on the podcast of Swift. "And I can't say enough how thankful I am that she let us use her music. And I think she knows, too, her fans would like the show."
