Four Years after we first heard it, Taylor Swift 's Cruel Summer is back in the UK charts.

The Singer 's credited her fans with The Song 's surge in popularity and the decision to re-release it as a single.

From her 2019 Album Lover, The Track originally peaked at number 27 in The Top 40.

It re-entered last week at 28 - But is expected to climb higher when the latest chart positions are revealed later.

Taylor's previously described Cruel Summer as her " pride and joy" out of the tracks on Lover.

It's all about The Pain of a fleeting summer romance, following the of a " Love Letter To Love , in all of its maddening, passionate, exciting, enchanting, horrific, tragic, wonderful glory".

And it's blown up again thanks to its place in The Singer 's Eras Tour setlist.

She recently told fans at one show: " You guys have streamed Cruel Summer so much right now in 2023 that it's rising on the streaming charts.

" So crazy. My label just decided to just make it The Next single. "

One of those fans who's been listening non-stop is Jessica Retson, who is, in her own words " an official Swiftie".

The 25-year-old student, who's currently working on her dissertation, is proving her dedication by doing it on the popstar.

As you might expect, she loves Cruel Summer .

" It's such a nice song, all of the lyrics, " she tells BBC Newsbeat.

" And it's a bit cat and mouse, quite romantic and upbeat and encapsulates the feelings you get when you're first liking someone. "

Lover is Taylor's seventh studio Album - and The First release after leaving previous label Big Machine Records following a dispute with The Company .

The Star recently said The Second wave of popularity for Cruel Summer felt " truly perplexing".

" I just haven't had something like this happen in my career, " She Said .

Jessica Says there has been a big demand among fans for a single release - and she's glad it's finally getting its dues.

" There's definitely a place for it in the fandom and it's really nice that there's a new appreciation Four Years on. "
