Taylor Swift continues to defy the rules in the music industry alongside the Swifties as “Cruel Summer” from her Lover album hits the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The song was originally released in 2019 alongside the rest of the Lover album. Although Swift had intended for the song to be a single in 2020, the pandemic forced plans to change. As Swift embarked on The Eras Tour, “Cruel Summer” picked up steam again and has now achieved several rare feats.
With “Cruel Summer” hitting No. 1, Swift became the first female artist to score ten No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and ten No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. “Cruel Summer” also gave Swift the longest run for a female soloist from a Hot 100 debut to No. 1, excluding holiday songs, climbing to the top spot after four years and two months.
Another accomplishment for the track is that it’s the longest climb for a non-holiday female track from its release date and the second longest climb for a non-holiday song in the Soundscan era from its release date.
“Cruel Summer” is also the first song from Swift’s Lover album to land at the top of the charts. Other singles from the Lover era like “You Need To Calm Down” and “ME!” peaked at No. 2.
To celebrate “Cruel Summer” hitting No. 1, Swift and co-producer and co-songwriter Jack Antonoff took to Instagram to share a special message.
“A song from five f***ing years ago … a song that we said was the best song but we thought, ‘Oh, you know what, this was our secret best song.’ That’s what we thought,” Antonoff said.
Swift took over and added, “We just wanted to say thank you so much for making ‘Cool Summer’ a Hot 100 No. 1 and it’s not even the summer anymore. It’s deep fall, I’m wearing a sweater. We love you

a disgruntled Eagles lover tweeted on the X platform.Swift, 71, was spotted sporting the Chiefs gear in a VIP tent at his daughter’s sold-out Buenos Aires show at River Plate Stadium alongside Kelce, 34, a Chiefs tight end, in a photo obtained by the Daily Mail.Some eagle-eyed fans are wondering if Papa Swift is so over the moon about his daughter’s new beau that he has abandoned his allegiance to the Eagles — or if he’s just playing nice.“Scott Swift must adore this man, to join in on the claps at the restaurant and now be wearing a Chiefs lanyard when his team is Eagles all the way,” sighed one person on X.Another joked that there would be a “welcome home cheater” sign on his front door upon his return home.The Swift family has vocally supported the Eagles for years, so the switch-up has football fans taken aback — especially given the Chiefs and Eagles rivalry that played out in the Super Bowl in February.The Chiefs beat the Eagles 38 to 35.“The Chiefs took the Super Bowl and Taylor Swift away from the Eagles. Philly big mad,” another posted on X.Kelce’s older brother, Jason, plays for the Eagles — with fans joking that the Swift family changing teams has probably ruffled his feathers.“Oh Jason’s gonna be maaaaaad’,” tweeted one person.Some are even speculating that the “New Heights” podcast the Kelce brothers host is going to become heated.“Legit can’t wait to [hear] Jason question this on the podcast,” tweeted another.
