Taylor Swift Releases Cruel Summer In Different Versions

Taylor Swift has just released her latest EP titled “The Cruelest Summer.” This mini album features three versions of the song “Cruel Summer.” Alongside the original version of “Cruel Summer,” Taylor has released a live rendition from her tour, “The Eras Tour,” and a remix by LP Giobbi.

In her statement, Taylor shared, “It’s truly incredible how you’ve transformed The Eras Tour concert footage into something like an Eras Tour show. I’ve watched your videos of dancing, jumping around, and recreating choreography, jokes, engagements, and overall creating the fun chaos we know. One of my favorite things you’ve ever done is how passionately you supported ‘Cruel Summer.’ I finally kicked off The Eras Tour with this song.”
