The song which ranks at number eighteen on the Billboard Hot 100 chart even today is a favorite among Swifties. Through the male vocals delivered by Swims in this fast-paced version, it was made all the more legendary. In the middle, he even slowed the tempo down to emphasize its chorus!
This enchanting version of ‘Cruel Summer’ has revived the songs only months after Swift served up two remixes of it herself. 
<h2>Swift’s new takes on the 2019 track</h2>
As fans of the 12-time Grammy Award winner already know,  Swift has been on a mission to re-release her previous albums after the rift with Scooter Braun.
