I agree that SNTV makes more sense for September/October. The album has an autumn feel and the focus single could cannibalize Cruel Summer.
On the other hand, Taylor is at her all-time peak of commercial power so she probably can carry multiple singles simultaneously, especially if different genres (country-pop and synth-pop).

I hope it happens. I just don't want this to get these nice upstate in the 40s and 30s and then fall like All Of The Girls.

It would also be pretty epic if this snags her a #1 on the Hot 100 after just missing it with both ME! and YNTCD, LOL.

The way this is taking off on its own due to popular demand while the label is pushing something different is giving Dark Horse vibes.

They could send this to radio to start building. Then when the SNTV drops they can do a big push for "Enchanted" to get a week at #1 on the Hot 100 (perhaps even send it to radio), but then in August drop a music video for "Cruel Summer" with some remixes etc in the hopes its radio is quite high by then to boost streaming/sales to get to #1 on the Hot 100?
I don't see why Taylor can't have 2-3 songs climbing the radio charts anyway. We've had some artists with 3 songs in the top 10 on Pop radio before. "Karma" will likely drop like a rock once it reaches #1 on Pop radio as well (I assume it'll be pushed to #1 as there isn't anything in its way currently and will take it a couple weeks to climb to #1 at its current rate).

Is anyone elseโs reels completely flooded with football stadiums full of people scream singing this song at different nights of the eras tour? With the sunset visible in the sky? Itโs fucking perfect promo.

If this does get released, I need a Joseph Kahn level music video for this. Spare no expense - the song deserves it.

If Cruel Summer explodes like it should, it can easily be in her top 5 biggest hits and a career song. Iโd say right now it stands as: 1) Blank Space 2) Shake It Off 3) Love Story 4) Anti-Hero 5) You Belong With Me Cruel Summer could easily contest for a spot in the Top 5 of her classics.

I donโt know how possible that is, but it deserves it IMO. People really respond to the song and rightfully so. I think itโs every bit as good (better!) of a pop track than Blank Space, Shake it Off, Love Story, etc. Only Anti-Hero really competes when it comes to her big pop anthems IMO.

I didnโt think sheโd be able to release something more perfect than โBlank Spaceโ for pop but then she released AH and proved me wrong.
Iโm doubtful that CS could beat those in terms of legacy if it impacts but Iโd love to be proven wrong.

I think top 5 career hit is a bit ambitious lol. But itโs definitely becoming one of her signature songs, more than AH Iโd say which felt like a non event at the tour.

Heard this on the radio for the first time today. Can't believe it finally became a single after all these years! Hoping this smashes!

Top 5 General Public: Nope.
I'd call it Top 3 Swifties' *Secret Tracks*:
1. ATW (10 Minute) - #1 H100 2. Enchanted - #75 H100 --> #1 H100 (Jul 22, 2023) ??? 3. CS - #29 H100 --> ???

I'll get hyped if this makes the top 25 with large updates, because I don't have faith this is gonna get a large push. Hoping I'm wrong...

I wouldnโt say Karma is being ignored, itโs top 5 on CHR. Granted, I do see the TH comparisons with an older song going viral. Now letโs do Getaway Car next! ๐

First triple-digit update! I double-checked this 'cause I could've sworn it already had one - and it did, since it was below #50 on Friday (with #50 having 399 spins), to being top 50 on Saturday with over 500. Either way, the way this is just blowing up; surely the label must be getting involved by now lol.

I was at the Eras tour on Saturday and youโre spot on about that. The crowd was infinitely more hype for Cruel Summer than Anti-Hero. Of course, CS being the second song and AH coming after she had already been on for 3 hours may have had something to do with that.

To be fair, while you are there Cruel Summer kind of feels like the first song. While Miss Americana is great and a good opener, to me it felt a bit like an intro. The energy with Cruel Summer felt like the show was getting started.
