Taylor Swift fans have a reason to celebrate as the pop sensation has released a live version of her 2019 hit 'Cruel Summer' from her recently premiered concert film, 'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.'

This announcement comes after fans showed immense support for the track during the film's release.

Taking to social media to express her gratitude for her fans' support, Taylor Swift wrote: "One of my favorite things you’ve done was when you supported Cruel Summer SO much, I ended up starting The Eras Tour show with it.

For old times' sake, I’m releasing the live audio from the tour so we can all shriek it in the comfort of our homes and cars."

But that's not all - Taylor Swift has another treat in store. In addition to the live version of 'Cruel Summer,' she's also shared a fresh remix of the song by producer LP Giobbi, titled 'Cruel Summer (LP Giobbi remix).'

All three versions of the track, including the original, have been bundled into a three-song package titled 'The Cruelest Summer,' and it's available on streaming platforms for fans to enjoy.

'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,' which premiered in the UK on October 13, captures Swift's incredible performances at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium earlier this year.

These shows featured a career-spanning setlist, showcasing songs from all ten of her albums, spanning from 'Fearless' to 'Midnights.'

Fans of Swift and her timeless music have plenty to look forward to with this new release.

Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour has also been making headlines for breaking records with monumental opening Weekend for concert film.

Taylor Swift has set a groundbreaking record in the realm of concert films with her latest documentary, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.

The film, chronicling her six performances at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium earlier this year, showcases a career-spanning setlist featuring songs from all ten of her albums.

Premiering in the UK on October 13, the documentary has shattered records, earning an astounding estimated $126 million (£103 million GBP) globally in movie theatres.

It seems Taylor's career continues to go from strength to strength, as she has also broken multiple other records in this year alone.

One of those records includes a chart record that was previously held by screen and song legend Barbara Streisand.

Swift is now the female artist with the most number one albums in history. She was previously level with Streisand on 11, but has now surpassed her with Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).

With her latest album, Taylor Swift also became the first woman to have four albums in the Top 10 of the US album chart simultaneously, and is also only the third artist ever to have achieved the feat.
