Taylor Swift has released ‘The Cruelest Summer’, which features a live version of her hit song ‘Cruel Summer’ from The Eras Tour, along with a new remix by LP Giobbi.
Following the release of ‘Cruel Summer (Live from Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour)’, the singer-songwriter wrote in an Instagram post on Wednesday, “What a truly mind-blowing thing you’ve turned the ‘The Eras Tour’ concert film into. I’ve been watching videos of you guys in the theatres dancing and prancing and recreating choreography, making inside jokes, casting spells, getting engaged and just generally creating the exact kind of joyful chaos we’re known for.”
She continued, “One of my favourite things you’ve done is when you supported ‘Cruel Summer’ so much that I ended up starting The Eras Tour show with it. For old times’ sake, I’m releasing the live audio from the tour so we can all scream it in the comfort of our homes and cars, plus a brand new remix by [LP Giobbi]. Thank you, so much, forever, wow, just thank you!!!”
“Cruel Summer” is one of more than three dozen songs in Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour set list and is featured in the concert film, which was released on 13 October. The single was originally released in 2019 on Swift’s seventh studio album, ‘Lover’.
“Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” grossed $92.8 million in North America and $123.5 million worldwide in its opening weekend, making it the biggest debut ever for a concert film. At Swift’s suggestion, moviegoers are encouraged to dance and sing along to the concert film, which is in theatres only on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
