Taylor Swift releases remix, live version of 'Cruel Summer' from 'Eras Tour'

WASHINGTON (TND) — Pop superstar Taylor Swift has given her fans another surprise treat, as she released a remix and a live version of her song, "Cruel Summer," from her concert film, "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour."

The news comes after three three-hour movie documenting the tour raked in millions at the Box Office.

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 PLUS a brand new remix by @LPGiobbi," Swift posted on social media Wednesday night.

She also thanked fans for making the tour -- and the movie -- a success.

"What a truly mind blowing thing you’ve turned The Eras Tour Concert Film into," Swift wrote. "I’ve been watching videos of you guys in the theaters dancing and prancing and recreating choreography, creating inside jokes, casting spells, getting engaged, and just generally creating the exact type of joyful chaos we’re known for. 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. Thank you, so much, forever, wow, just thank you!!!"

The post also included a link to the new tracks.

"Cruel Summer" is one of several songs featured in the film, which is currently playing in theaters.

Movie theaters turned into concert venues last weekend as Swifties brought their dance moves and friendship bracelets to multiplexes across the country. The unparalleled enthusiasm helped propel the movie to a massive, first place debut between $95 million and $97 million in North America, AMC Theatres said Sunday.

It’s easily the biggest opening for a concert film of all time, and, not accounting for inflation, has made more than the $73 million “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” earned in 2011. In today’s dollars, that would be around $102 million.
