Some Swifties are entering their indie rock era at The National<\/strong> shows.<\/p>\n

Since guitarist Aaron Dessner<\/strong> has started collaborating with Taylor Swift<\/strong>, The National frontman Matt Berninger<\/strong> has noticed more fans of the pop superstar attending their concerts.<\/p>\n

“We see a lot of Taylor Swift fans coming to shows and being bewildered by the first 25 minutes or so,” Berninger tells NME<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We’ve been blessed with demographics that are across the spectrum,” he continues. “Then 10 or 15 years ago, a lot of younger people started coming [to our shows] \u2013 more and more women. The first 10 years was kind of a dude-fest at most of our shows, but that’s changed a lot. At our shows we have all kinds of old friends and they’re always different.”<\/p>\n

Dessner worked on Taylor’s albums\u00a0folklore<\/em>,\u00a0evermore<\/em> and\u00a0THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT<\/em>, and The National as a whole is featured on the\u00a0evermore<\/em> cut “coney island.” However,\u00a0in response to a question about the possibility of Taylor showing up to perform at a National show, Berninger says, “I don’t think so.”<\/p>\n

“It is fun \u2013 that whole bridge has been a really, really fruitful thing for our whole band, not just Aaron,” he says. “Obviously, Aaron’s been having such a great time and making so much great stuff with her, and the Taylor Swift bridge has been there for a long time. But no, we’re not.”<\/p>\n
