#15 on US Spotify again. Itβs holding really well this week! Itβs been #15 for a few days. Meanwhile Karma is down to #49, and the remix is out of the top 50.
For anyone who has heard this on the radio - how do they introduce it? A new single, an album cut?

He just said the title of the song, and then mentioned the station was giving away tickets to The Eras tour where listeners could hear her perform the song live.

Quite surprised that this has not cracked the HAC charts yet.

I was at the Eras tour on Saturday and youβre 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. That's part of it, but CS is also just the better song. It's classic pop Taylor with the Antonoff synth production, explosive chorus and anthemic bridge. AH is cute and has memorable lyrics, but it's a bit mid.

This song is a MOMENT on tour. Having 70,000 other people scream the bridge with you is therapy.

On the KIIS morning show last Thursday Sisanie introduced it by saying "ok we've just gotta play this one, here's Taylor Swift"

This is crossing the double digit adds this week and it's expected to be inside the Top 10 of the most added songs too.

I won't stand for the "Anti-Hero" slander! It's an anthemic pop song that propelled Taylor to new heights of domination. "Cruel Summer" is amazing too. I don't know why one song's value has to be undercut to serve another. They aren't even competing singles and it's not as if you've been forced to pick and choose. lol

Anti-Hero is far from mid. Itβs pop perfection, just like Blank Space.

Next single. Serviced to Pop and Hot AC. Almost three years ago exactly we thought it was happening, and now it's finally happening (whether Taylor likes it or not).

Radio programmers are jumping on it, so it would be a weird move from Republic to not keep the momentum and to not properly push this as some of you already mentioned. Make it already happen, Tay Tay!

Is it time for "Cruel Summer" to rightfully claim its place as the biggest hit from Lover? I think so.

Just heard this on the radio. It sounded absolutely incredible. This has #1 song of the summer written all over it.

I really like the vibe of this, verses are great, bridge excellent, but that chorus man, so disappointing! especially the "ooh, whoa-oh" part.
Had the same problem with Style (another fan favorite), but after a few years the chorus finally clicked with me, maybe it'll be the case with this one as well.
