Taylor Swift‘s revived track “Cruel Summer,” from her 2019 album Lover, is now her latest song to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify. “It’s been no cruel summer for @taylorswift13 this year,” the streaming service tweeted on Sunday. “Congratulations on another track in the #BillionsClub.” Swift then took to her Instagram Story to mark the milestone. “Summer just got a BILLION TIMES CRUELER,” she wrote under a repost of Spotify’s congratulatory message. “Love you all so much for this.”

This is Swift’s fifth song to reach 1 billion streams, a feat which has thus far been achieved by a total of 468 tracks. It follows her hit Midnights single “Anti-Hero,” the 1989 songs “Blank Space” and “Shake It Off,” as well as her Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack collaboration with Zayn, “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever.”
