Inside Taylor Swift's Friendship With The National's Aaron Dessner


Taylor Swift and Aaron Dessner have become close friends and musical collaborators since meeting in 2014

But a few hours after sharing music, my phone lit up with a voice memo from Taylor of a fully written version of a song — the momentum never really stopped,” he wrote via Instagram after the album’s surprise release, adding that he had “rarely” been so inspired by someone. After the bonus tracks dropped, Dessner tweeted, “Congrats @taylorswift13 @jackantonoff and all who contributed to the brilliant main album and [applause] to the chaotic 3am deluxe shift also…..incredibly honored as always to help make songs with you.” Apple Music unveiled the songwriting credits for Swift’s album The Tortured Poets Department, revealing that Dessner was a cowriter on five songs, including “So Long, London” and “Clara Bow.”
