"I'm honestly mad Swift didn't release this as a single just for the fact that I only have one month left to blare this song from my car speakers before Summer officially ends. It's the Summer jam we needed but didn't deserve!" — KG
"'Said I'm fine, but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you' and 'I love you,' ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?' are some of my favorite lyrics on the album, and if AIM away messages were still a thing, you KNOW they would be all over mine!" — AM
"WHAT. A. BOP. I will be practicing my 'He looks up grinning like a devil' scream for the concert. Am I a little salty that she held out on us with this one? A little, but once the first chorus hits, I'm over it." — CP
"Excuse me, I'm sorry — why was this not the lead single of Lover?! I'm gonna need a serious in-depth explanation — and while I wait for that to come, I'll be endlessly yelling 'Alexa play 'Cruel Summer' by Taylor Swift' in my living room for the next 17 hours or perhaps the remainder of my life. 'I'm drunk in the back of the car, and I cried like a baby coming home from the bar. Said I'm fine, but it wasn't true. I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you.' — honestly @ me next time, Swift!" — KH
