Aaron Dessner collabs with Taylor Swift again for 'Speak Now (Taylor's Version)'

One week after her Cincinnati shows at Paycor Stadium, Taylor Swift released the rerecorded version of her 2010 album, "Speak Now," Friday, and she collaborated with a Cincy native yet again.

Aaron Dessner, founder of the band The National, is credited as a producer on the album. He helped produce multiple "From The Vault" tracks, including "Electric Touch," featuring Fall Out Boy, "When Emma Falls in Love" and "Foolish One."

Dessner previously collaborated with Swift on her albums "Folklore," "Evermore," "Fearless (Taylor's Version)," "Red (Taylor's Version)" and "Midnights." He won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 2021 for "Folklore."

During her Saturday show in Cincinnati, Swift surprised fans by welcoming Dessner on stage in his hometown. The two 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."

On his Instagram Story, Dessner added it was "hard to think of a crazier full circle moment."

Dessner and The National will be back in Cincinnati in September, when they host their Homecoming festival Sept. 15-16 at the Icon Festival Stage at Smale Park.
