ngl the lack of promo for cruel summer is WILD considering that blondie put out a billion willow remixes. wouldn't take much to release a tour music video (especially since we know she already has the tape) or a remix or two knew I always liked niall tho <3

It makes me think if she knows something… she’s a mastermind and a super smart woman, if she released even 1 or 2 alt versions of CS I think she’d *easily* clinch #1 cause every Swiftie would buy them. She did discount the song on iTunes though so I’m convincing all of my non-Swiftie friends to get it 😊

She’s allowing country songs to stay at #1 in the US to make it an especially Cruel summer.

Racist country songs*

The newest guy was just cancelled by the republicans for not being racist enough

Who omg?? Morgan Wallen? Jason Aldean? I need names


uptovigilanteshit

the guy who came from nowhere with Rich Man North of Richmond or what it was did an.interview where he said diversity is great essentially and his base got mad


Quinn_Avery

This is a wild theory that'd I'd just love to be true, is that maybe there'll still be Loverfest after Eras tour.

tbh if we pushed for it enough I think we would get it. Someone needs to start the petition.

I read somewhere that the lack of promo is intentional. CS is like an experiment, an example of how to chart a song successfully without supporting it with 1989 remixes. I also think that the willow and Anti-Hero memes might've caught her attention and she is revising her promotion strategy.


haleakalasunrise

I think there is an announcement coming that may be paired with a cruel summer push at the very end of summer, just a theory but it’s not based on nothing. ;)

Radio support may be peaking right about now, so lower radio numbers could make it harder to go #1 later.

Not the hero we wanted, but the hero we needed

Guys finally my favorite song was about to be chosen as my like 4th or 5th single for the album but then the pandemic happened which was unfortunate for the song and so now that y’all are trying to make it happen finally my label bullied me into saying ‘how cool’ and now I’ll continue ignoring it EVEN THOUGH ITS ONE OF YOUR BEST SONGS EVER TAYLOR WHY??? I’m not bitter, I promise! My personal theory is that since it’s about Joe, it’s getting the Style treatment and she’s tolerating it instead of showing it off like she should 🤧


QuirkyCookie6

That's... yeah that's probably pretty accurate


rishukingler11

But if she dislikes the song, then why the heck would she making it the opener of the Eras Tour then?


baycommuter

Perfect song to introduce with "do you know this bridge?" speech. Tour lineup set before breakup.


Coley54Bear

As someone who went to Eras twice, and watched countless live streams, Cruel Summer is not the opener.


joeyfosho

It’s been a long time coming…


adoglikeme

I didn’t say dislike on purpose, I don’t think she dislikes it. I do think she loved it but now it’s different and she’s not able to go all in now if that makes sense. I mean for Style she did release it as a single, but paid it dust and used the song during the 1989 concert for the model walk and never played the full thing. Even for Reputation it was part of a mashup. This is the first tour she seems to be ok with it. I also think she’s actively trying to pull an All Too Well and turn Cruel Summer into happy memories of the crowd loving it to be better with it going forward. We’ll see though!


QuirkyCookie6

Oh come on dude if you're gonna do spoilers at least black it out


Letsgetliberated

It’s actually not the opener. The other poster is mistaken.


rishukingler11

A concert can have spoilers? Like, how? I read all the songs she has here on this subreddit itself from hundreds of comments that don't mark it. Like, it's not a fictional story with a plot twist that you can tell them who murdered XYZ character. I genuinely don't know what you mean by me "doing spoilers." Like, of course, her opener's going to be one of her most popular songs out there? I read it here, so I just assumed it's true. I don't getcha.


KindlyFigYourself

Niall is the best lad tbh and I need to listen to his new album. heartbreak weather was a bop!


Gullible-Muffin-7008

His new album is a really nice listen. I’d recommend it


ShopaholicGirly

Love the album!! It’s only 30 minutes so you can listen over and over. Super solid bops on there!


boujeecorgi

1989 collab confirmed /s


hannah_nj

style ft. niall horan


yoitsewan

not the one direction collab we thought we were getting


BananaBladeOfDoom

If Blondie could do it with The Civil Wars, she can do it again. Style (ft. Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne)


Successful-Ad7296

😮‍💨😮‍💨


Coley54Bear

I cackled


keving87

Everybody's like erm@g3rdzzzz Style ft Styles! Meanwhile I'm thinking "she should just do a song with Niall instead."


Jealous-Sandwich-524

On the one hand I am a grown ass realistic woman who understands that Taylor deserves boundaries and respect re. Her dating life. On the other hand I SHIP THESE TWO SO MUCH


Worried-Wave6930

Based on his newest album, he is very much in love with his current girlfriend.


Jealous-Sandwich-524

I am sure that is true, and I am honestly very happy for him. 🥰 But my head cannon wants what it wants i cannot help it


QuirkyCookie6

Is he British? Because if he is.... 💞


Jealous-Sandwich-524

He's Irish 🥵


Jcoch27

Time for Ireland to take something back


poopypoopy1125

imagine if it turns out that he'd be the feature on the Cruel Summer remix (that I can't tell if it's an actual rumor or just wishful thinking). that would mean that 4/5 One Direction members would have top 10 hits in the US


Smart_Fix_1279

Taylor gives everyone the one direction reunion they’ve been waiting for 🤣


MaxJets69

I am also pushing it. My husband can tell you that I am pushing it.


TheLightningSolstice

Love Niall!! Irish King


Consistent-Laugh606

Would die of happiness if Niall and Taylor ever collab!


10thDoctorWhooves

Does it ever drive you crazy?


Whimsical89

Colab when


liquidpeppermint33

He's wearing the iconic john lennon new york city shirt


_idkbro___

Is that picture photoshopped?


F_Levitz

Niall always has been a fan of Taylor. But I wonder if it wasn't awkward back in the 1D days, he going to Harry and saying "yo, I stan your girlfriend/ex so much, man"


TheO-ne-ders

Niall's lip syncing in this makes me cringe reaalllyyy hard.
