Cincy native Aaron Dessner collabs with Taylor Swift on 'Tortured Poets Department' album

Pop superstar Taylor Swift has collaborated with Aaron Dessner, a Cincinnati native, yet again.

Dessner, the founder of The National, is credited as a writer and producer on Swift's 11th original studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department," slated to drop on Friday, April 19. According to USA Today, Dessner is credited with five tracks, "So Long, London," "But Daddy I Love Him," "loml," "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" and "Clara Bow."

The Cincinnati native previously collaborated with Swift on her albums "Folklore," "Evermore," "Fearless (Taylor's Version)," "Red (Taylor's Version)" and "Midnights." Dessner won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 2021 for "Folklore." It was the second Grammy of his career.

The duo also performed together during Swift's The Eras Tour stop in Cincinnati last summer. They performed "Ivy," a track Dessner co-wrote and produced on Swift's 2020 album, "Evermore."

"Cincinnati!! It's hard to describe what it felt like to play 'Ivy' from 'evermore' last night with (Taylor Swift) in the town I grew up in, where I learned to play music in the first place," Dessner wrote on Instagram, alongside a video of the performance. "Grateful as always to Taylor and all of you for listening."

Dessner and his band, The National, whose five members are also from Cincinnati, returned to the Queen City in September when they hosted their Homecoming festival at the Icon Festival Stage at Smale Park.
