Let’s get one thing straight: No one does modern pop bangers in a corseted ballroom like Bridgerton. Whether it’s Taylor Swift turned string quartet or Ariana Grande warbling through a dramatic reveal, the Bridgerton franchise has redefined how we experience period romance.

From the OG fake-dating waltzes to Season 3’s Polin pining, these are the 16 best Bridgerton music moments—ranked by just how much they made us feel like swooning, crying, or texting our ex. It’s safe to say, Shondaland knows how to hurt us.
