Bridgerton Every Modern Song Secretly Covered

Bridgerton is a modern tale set in Regency Era London and to emphasize this point, the creators of Bridgerton included several tracks of modern songs covered in a classical style. Four of the covers were done by the Vitamin String Quartet, a well-known musical group that has been doing classical-style covers of pop songs for a while now. One of the songs was covered by another artist and there are two songs that are played in their original forms.

Bridgerton’s modern music serves a practical purpose by making the show feel more accessible to audiences who may have been turned off by the Regency Era setting. Furthermore, the songs generally have some thematic relevance to the show and remind viewers that Bridgerton is a show decidedly unbothered by historical accuracy. The showrunners did bring on historical consultants during production, but, ultimately, Bridgerton’s creative team didn’t let historical accuracy get in the way of telling the story they wanted to tell in the way they wanted to tell it.

The modern music may be a bit jarring to those expecting a more period-accurate historical drama like Downton Abbey, but since it’s mostly played in the background, the pop melodies are often subtle enough that they don’t distract from the historical setting. More importantly, Bridgerton’s music is an integral part of the underlying progressive tone. Here are all seven modern songs that Bridgerton uses in season 1.

“thank u next” by Ariana Grande – Cover By Vitamin String Quartet: The distinct melody of Ariana Grande’s hit 2019 song, “thank u next,” can be heard in Bridgerton season 1, episode 1, “A Diamond of the First Water.” The song is rather on the nose considering what’s going on in the show. Vitamin String Quartet’s cover of “thank u next” plays during the social season’s opening ball where the new debutantes gather to hunt for suitors.

“Girls Like You” by Maroon 5 – Cover By Vitamin String Quartet: After the ball at Lady Danbury’s, Daphne waits in the drawing-room of her home as suitors pour in and Daphne is left to weed out potential mates, and Vitamin String Quartet’s cover of “Girls Like You” plays underneath Lady Whistledown’s voiceover.

“In My Blood” by Shawn Mendes – Cover By Vitamin String Quartet: The third Vitamin String Quartet cover in Bridgerton plays near the end of episode 2, “Shock and Delight.” Daphne and Simon dance to the song at a ball after they concocted their scheme to fool their social circle.

“bad guy” by Billie Eilish – Cover by Vitamin String Quartet: In Bridgerton episode 3, “Art of the Swoon,” this song plays while Simon and Daphne enter the room and another suitor asks Daphne for a dance. Simon feigns jealousy and Daphne congratulates him on his performance before walking away with the other man.

“Love Yourself (Short Reprise)” by Sufjan Stevens: This song, which is the original version and not a cover, plays during Daphne and Simon’s wedding in Bridgerton season 1, episode 5, “The Duke and I,” named for the book on which the season is based. The soft techno notes of the song are interspersed with delicate piano cords and it’s an interesting choice for a wedding scene, but it strangely works.

“Strange” by Celeste – Cover by Kris Bowers: In the same episode as “Love Yourself”, and after the wedding of Daphne and the Duke. After the ceremony, the couple retreat to separate rooms at the inn before their desire brings them back together and they consummate their marriage to this cover by Celeste’s original.

“Wildest Dreams” by Taylor Swift – Cover by Duomo: An instrumental cover of Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” plays during episode 6, “Swish.” The string cover by Duomo plays as Daphne and Simon enjoy the honeymoon phase of their marriage at their new estate in the English countryside, where they aren’t bothered by onlookers in the garden, on the stairs, on a ladder in the library, and – on rare occasion – in their bedroom.

“The End” by Jessica Vaughan: The second and final modern song that plays on its own rather than as a cover is Jessica Vaughan’s “The End.” Toward the end of Bridgeton season 1, episode 6, “Swish,” Daphne and Simon are in bed when Daphne does something that has upset many viewers. “The End” plays somewhat ominously in the background, growing in volume as the scene progresses.
