So, no single has gone to Pop without a video. However, her music videos aren't doing great anymore (karma remix only has 18 million views on youtube) so I wouldn't be surprised if she skips creating one. But I think there is a good chance for a tour video. She released her tour video for red midway through the red tour. Music videos are promotional tools for streaming and radio. They help the momentum of the song elsewhere

She could really help this explode more by even just tweeting/posting an Instagram story about it Just imagine how Swifties would've reacted if she posted on her story saying something along the lines of "Hey everyone, I know the love Cruel Summer has been getting and I'm happy to announce that Cruel Summer is my next single (or next radio single)!". They would go feral.

We f*cking DID IT, guys!!!! I am so thrilled.
I don't want to count chicks before they hatch, but this could be a #1 on radio overall. I do think Taylor will eventually acknowledge it, video or not, but it will be at the perfect moment. It could kick up streams and you know our queen will do it strategically. Presumably a few weeks after Speak Now TV, when the song has had more than a month to ascend pop airplay. This is just SO exciting. Lover coming for 6 and 7 (and 8?)x platinum, like her first 5 albums.

A tour performance video would be a GREAT idea. Get coins from its streams, and make all those amateur videos flooding YouTube null and void.

THANK GOD. I knew she would see the writing on the wall eventually. As I said, sheβd officially been cornered. SO excited to see this become the monster smash it was always destined to be!!!

It was the most added song of the week with over 30 adds including Z100 and KIIS as it storms the top 40 with triple digit gains. At this point, the adds date is just a formality. It was becoming a single whether there was an actual push or not lol.

I think weβd all give up the totally unnecessary and forgettable Karma Remix mv in exchange for Cruel Summer, which is *begging* for a Joseph Kahn directed cinematic mini-movie.

Don't get me wrong, but I'm still a little bit skeptical about the adds date to be honest. I mean, I'm not saying that they couldn't be true because they might be, but I'm wondering where they were revealed. I've seen a couple of Twitter accounts jumping in the news without any proof of the source, so... π€·ββοΈ

Are adds dates normally Tuesdays when the Monday is a U.S. federal holiday?

Can I ask why people keep saying things like Taylor must be fuming..? lol did I miss an interview, comment, etc.? But she had other things she wanted to do; in summer 2020, when she originally was going to make it a single, she scraped it and put out folklore instead. I honestly don't think that it could have blown up in the summer of 2020. That was the local minima of her career commercially and remember how radio hadn't embraced Taylor after Delicate and before Anti-Hero. It would have remained stagnant in the #11 - #15 range before she moved on to the re recordings. So in a way, her not making it a single actually set it up for it to smash now. I can see it reaching top 10 in a couple of months.

Just how Enchanted was rising during the Red TV week. Anyway, I'm very happy it is finally getting the treatment it deserves! Can't wait to see its chart run

I can see it reaching top 10 in a couple of months. I fully agree. She had dwindling momentum there. Seeing diminishing returns on all the Lover singles from a radio standpoint. I think releasing it now, that she has a lot more hype, and new fans, was the best case scenario for this song.

A tour video would absolutely work very well for this. BUT there hasnβt been this kind of opportunity for a Joseph Khan big cinematic video since Reputation. Iβve always imagined an epic video for this song.
I wonder what the chances are that something is already in the can for this from 2020?

I seriously hope they do not waste the great music video potential on a live video here. If this is given a proper music video, I see it smashing way harder than with a live video.

Didnβt Taylor film something in London last month? Was that a music video or something else?

That would be quite the stunt she pulls, after everyone in here that was like 'oh this must be f**king up EVERYTHING she had on the cards' only for her to turn around and say 'lol I have already prepared for this contingency'.

If the song will be as big as it has the potential to be, I think BOTH a proper music video and a live video could serve it very well!!
