    Man, BBC 1 and triple j both releasing covers of Cruel Summer on the same day, what are the odds? I'm a fan of Teddy Swims, and his cover was great, but this shit was absolutely next level.

    I’ve been a fan of G for years, saw them a while ago when they were smaller and this cover is great! The arrangement is what I love. May need to seek out some more of Taylor’s music to get into the lyrics 🤔

    Also, the way the pronoun changes bring an entire additional dimension to the song? AH-mazing. It feels like the same great song and a new great song at the same time, and I think that's sublime.
