Aaron Dessner sat in with Taylor Swift at Tampa, FL’s Raymond James Stadium. The National songwriter and multi-instrumentalist emerged during the “surprise song” segment of Swift’s Eras Tour for the live debut of “The Great War.” The track, which Dessner worked on with Swift, appears on the expanded edition of the new album Midnights. Swift also debuted another song from the album, You’re on Your Own, Kid, during the same segment.

Dessner has been working with Swift steadily since producing her 2020 albums folklore and evermore. Last night worked the first time he has joined her onstage during her current run.
