Bustle Booth

TheSummer I Turned Prettystar tells Bustle about Taylors Season 2 transformation.

The risk paid off.

I love it, she says.

Rain Spencer plays Taylor and was promoted to a series regular in ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Seaso…

I was like a different person with the bangs.

Like her new look, the second season also ushers in a different era for Taylor.

Still, theres more to her under the surface.

Taylor is someone that has a lot of walls and is very scared to be vulnerable, she says.

this year, you get to [see] her break down those walls.

Spencer has done just that in her own career, too.

Within a month of the showsdebutlast year,she won Best Performance in a U.S.

But for Spencer, having her first two major roles be so disparate was a good thing.

I need to feel dirty.

You go to these events and dress up in these fancy things, she says.

And I just need to go, like, fall off my skateboard.

When I was really little, it wasThePowerpuff Girls… and then it becameFamily Guy.

I aspire to be as unapologetically myself.

Jury Dutyas one of the actors.

That had to be hilarious.

I always make it into a joke and sing like Celebrity Skin by Hole or Big Girls Dont Cry.

I get so nervous.

I would want people to say that Im kind and grounded.
