Here are all the modern songs you recognise from the soundtrack of Bridgerton season two

Iconic that the opening ball was Material Girl


Low-key, one of the best things about Bridgerton is when the music takes a modern song and turns it into a classical orchestra bop. It’s an undeniable vibe when the characters walk into a grand ball and start dancing to a song that’s in the charts right now, despite the show being set in the early 1800s. And season two is no different to the first, with the soundtrack containing some of the best song covers Bridgerton has ever had.

From Madonna to Rihanna and Harry Styles, this season has some absolute bangers. The series’ music supervisor, Justin Kamps, said the Harry Styles cover was a personal musical highlight of the new season. He told Tudum: “When Harry Styles’ team signed off, I was very excited about that because I was just like, ‘This is just a beautiful use.’ So even though it wasn’t a direct, ‘We love this,’ it felt like, ‘Ah, yes, they approved this, they’re giving their approval. They enjoy the sequence.’ And now, I can’t wait for all the fans to see it.”

Here is a rundown of all the songs that feature in the soundtrack of Bridgerton season two. Seriously, whoever picks these out deserves a pay rise.
