    The way we all agree that cruel summer should've been the lead single for Lover era.
    Edit: Thank you everyone, we did it with Anti-Hero. Now I'm so happy cruel summer has its own moment rn.

You can say kinda "flop" for a song that was given a chance, became a single,sent to radio, had a music video, had some promotion . She never even performed the song live. So it wasn't α "flop" cause it wasn't used in the first place as a single . We will never know what could've been . Hit or flop.

    "Cruel Summer" is her most streamed Spotify song, ahead of "Shake It Off," "Blank Space," and "Anti-Hero." It'll most likely be her first song to reach 2,000,000,000 plays (it needs 102 mil more plays), and it will coincidentally hit that milestone just before summer...where it will then probably take off into the stratosphere for the season.

      @getyourecon sometimes “singles” happen after the album is released and they get their own video/remixes, etc. Most people assumed Cruel Summer was going to get that treatment closer to spring after the album dropped.

    • @brightspark19

      @getyourecon Taylor sometimes release promotional singles prior to albums being released but most artists including Taylor always stagger their singles after release to bulk out sales between albums. Taylor would have had a summer single, especially around the announced LoverFest and it’s most probable Cruel Summer would have been it.

    It's a strategy she uses, a very smart one. If you release your best songs as singles you'll end up with an album with about 3 songs that most people really like. But if you choose to release the other songs you don't find that appealing what will happen is, people will come to like them anyway because of the repeated times they listened to them as well as they'll like the other great songs that were not singles, so people will have an album where they will most certainly love at least 6 or 7 songs. You may not buy an album if you like just a few songs in it, but 6 or 7 you most definitely will. People say she doesn't know how to pick her singles, she knows exactly what she's doing 😉

      I think The Man would have been like Delicate but radio stations dropped it too early.
      Plus, it's one of the best songs on Lover in my opinion because of it's powerful message, it has a great instrumental and has a bridge that is so underrated but the chorus is a hit or miss for me, 8/10.

Then she released “You Need To Calm Down” And then “Lover”.... now the WHEN happened... COVID Pandemic hits. If you all go back, she was planning festival type concerts for that album. Then everything shut down. We do not know if she would have released it next.
