Taylor Swift has released “The Cruelest Summer,” featuring 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 Wednesday, “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.”
She continued, “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 [LP Giobbi]. Thank you, so much, forever, wow, just thank you!!!”
