Taylor Swift tracks power Voicemails for Isabelle soundtrack: full tracklist revealed
Leah McKendrick’s new Netflix rom-com Voicemails for Isabelle isn’t just a meet-cute—it’s a mixtape. Starring Nick Robinson and Zoey Deutch, it arrives with a stacked soundtrack, including three Taylor Swift tracks plus a slick blend of classics and fresh cuts that all but steal the show.
Bit of an eyebrow-raiser from Netflix this week: 'Voicemails for Isabelle', Leah McKendrick's new romantic comedy, has landed—and while we've seen plenty of rom-coms that try to lean on charm and chemistry, this one is making a serious play with its soundtrack. Not every week you get three Taylor Swift tracks in a single film, is it?
The Set-Up
'Voicemails for Isabelle' swings between heartbreak and serendipity. The story follows Jill (played by Zoey Deutch), who's coping with her sister's death by leaving heartfelt voicemails on her old mobile number. Here’s the twist: unbeknownst to her, that number's now in the hands of Wes (Nick Robinson), who starts to listen—and, as you might expect in a Netflix romcom, starts to feel a connection.
The Full Cast
Aside from Deutch and Robinson, you've got a supporting line-up featuring Nick Offerman, Lukas Gage, Harry Shum Jr., Ciara Bravo, Megan Danso, Toby Sandeman, Spencer Lord, and Gil Bellows. So, if you were wondering if the cast is stacked: yes, it's stacked. Fair enough, Netflix loves to load up their ensembles.
The Soundtrack – All About the Bangers
If you’re the sort of person who listens closely during the background scenes just to catch a bit of Robyn or Kesha, you’re basically the target audience here. There’s a proper medley of pop, indie, and a couple of curveballs. Taylor Swift makes three cameo appearances on the playlist, which is–frankly–practically unheard of for a Netflix romcom. So that's a flex.
- Dancing On My Own – Robyn
- Almost Happy – Laces
- To Build A Home – The Cinematic Orchestra

Music Meets Plot
Soundtracks can often feel like afterthoughts, but whoever put this setlist together clearly came to play. It’s one of those selections that doesn’t just sit in the background; it punctuates the whole vibe of the film, giving some proper weight to Jill's ups and downs. Can't say I'm surprised Swift's tracks got pride of place—they do tend to telegraph heartbreak.
