The 22-year-old pop megastar shared her unmistakable vocals, which could be heard in the clip.
The clip concluded with the release date of the third season of the British coming-of-age romantic comedy-drama television series which is October 3.
The clip begins with Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) practising how to tell Nick Nelson (Kit Connor) that he loves him when his sister Tori (Jenny Walser) walks in on him.
Tori is in disbelief that Charlie hasn’t said those three words yet to which he replies: ‘I don’t want him to have to say the awkward “I love you too” ’cause he feels obligated to.’
His sister thinks Nick feels the same and she urges him to say it today.
Charlie walks down to meet up with Nick as they share a flirty stare at one another.
Despite his sister’s advice, he obviously freezes up as he says: ‘I… just never seen you in a vest before.’
Nick jokingly replies: ‘Well, I’ve never seen you in a cap before.’

The two share a giggle before walking off together.
The upcoming season’s synopsis reads: ‘Charlie would like to tell Nick that he loves him. Nick also has something important to say to Charlie.
‘As the summer holiday ends and the months race on, the friends begin to realize that the school year will come with both its joys and its challenges.
‘As they learn more about each other and their relationships, plan social events and parties and start thinking about university choices, everyone must learn to lean on those they love when life doesn’t go to plan.’
The series was created and written by Alice Oseman who has written the book series of the same name as the upcoming season is directed by Andy Newberry.
Also returning to the series are actors including William Gao, Yasmin Finney, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell, Tobie Donovan, Rhea Norwood, and Leila Khan.
