Why 'Cruel Summer' Singers Bananarama Still Haven't Heard Taylor Swift's Song of the Same Name...

Taylor Swift 's hugely popular synthpop track "Cruel Summer" went to No. 1 on the Billboard chart last October , four years after it debuted on her 2019 album Lover . But she isn't the only artist who recorded a hit song with that bittersweet title.
