Taylor Swift"[We] Need to Calm Down!" Taylor Swift just gave fans two new version of "Cruel Summer" to sing along to.
"What a truly mind blowing thing you’ve turned The Eras Tour Concert Film into. I’ve been watching videos of you guys in the theaters dancing and prancing and recreating choreography, creating inside jokes, casting spells, getting engaged, and just generally creating the exact type of joyful chaos we’re known for 😇," Swift, 33, captioned a post on Instagram Wednesday evening.
"One of my favorite things you’ve done was when you supported 'Cruel Summer' SO much, 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 shriek it in the comfort of our homes and cars PLUS a brand new remix by @lpgiobbi 😜 Thank you, so much, forever, wow, just thank you!!!"
"Cruel Summer" was featured on Swift's 2019 album Lover and became her sole longest-leading No. 1 on Billboard for an eighth week on Oct. 7.
She performed the track as a part of her Eras Tour setlist, along with other fan-favorites from the album including "The Archer," "Lover" and "The Man."
The new versions of "Cruel Summer" come ahead of the release of 1989 (Taylor's Version), her fourth re-recorded album, on Oct. 27. She revealed the names of four of the five additional songs after she challenged fans to decode a set of word clues on Google — and ended up jamming the site.
Google posted a video to X (formerly known as Twitter), revealing the four tracks. “Oh look, you did it. You unlocked the 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Vault and now I am so excited to share the new vault tracks with you,” the site announced.
In the video, the words slowly unscrambled to reveal the song titles: “Is It Over Now?” “Now That We Don’t Talk,” “Say Don’t Go” and “Suburban Legends.”
“Can’t wait for you to hear them,” the clip concluded.
Last week, Swift celebrated the release of her Eras Tour concert film and made an appearance at the premiere.
