Hearing Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Crowd Sing ‘Exile’ Was an ‘Out of Body’ Experience for Bon Iver

Watching Taylor Swift's Eras tour crowds sing 'Exile' made Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, the collaborator on the 'Folklore' song, feel out of body.

The musician was never able to perform the collaboration with her during the extensive run of live shows, though Swift did make a surprise appearance at a Bon Iver concert in London in 2022 Taylor Swift ‘s Folklore collaboration “Exile” never made it onto the fixed setlist for the Eras tour, but on the rare occasions that she selected the record as a surprise song, her stadium audiences filled in for Bon Iver, who never got a chance to perform it with her during the extensive run of live shows.
