tour. Unfortunately, Covid-19 prevented the tour from ever happening. Instead of promoting &#8220;Cruel Summer,&#8221; she\u00a0released\u00a0<em>folklore<\/em>\u00a0and began a whole new era, leaving the pastel skies behind and getting lost in the enchanted forest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"adsninja-injected-repeatable-ad-afterend\">However, four years after the song&#8217;s release, Taylor Swift finally made &#8220;Cruel Summer&#8221; an official single. While it, unfortunately, never got a music video,\u00a0<strong>the song gained so much traction that it reached #1<\/strong>\u00a0on Billboard&#8217;s Hot 100. Swift and Antonoff were shocked and posted a celebratory photo to Instagram thanking fans for continuing to love the song so long after its release.

Since the Lover Fest never happened, Swift kicked off the show with the\u00a0<em>Lover\u00a0<\/em>era. While the first song Swift sang was &#8220;Miss Americana &amp; The Heartbreak Prince,&#8221; she only sang a portion of it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"adsninja-injected-repeatable-ad-afterend\">She then transitioned into &#8220;Cruel Summer,&#8221; making it the first full song she sang on the tour.\u00a0<strong>Swift knew how long fans had been waiting to sing the song live with her<\/strong>\u00a0so she made the bridge an extra special experience. The pop star asked &#8220;<em>Does anyone here know the lyrics to this bridge? Prove it!<\/em>&#8221; She then strutted down the runway as the crowd screamed the lyrics back to her just like they&#8217;d waited to do for four years. &#8220;Cruel Summer&#8221; quickly became the defining song of\u00a0<strong>Taylor Swift<\/strong>&#8216;s Eras Tour\u00a0which heavily contributed to it going number one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taylor Swift\u00a0has accomplished many unbelievable feats, including having a number-one song four years after its release.
