Big Red Machineis back with some new music — and a very exciting special guest.
On Friday, the duo — which is comprised of Bon Iver’sJustin Vernonand The National’sAaron Dessner— released their latest track “Renegade,” which features vocals fromTaylor Swift.
Swift and Dessner recorded “Renegade” in Los Angeles at the Kitty Committee studio that month, while Vernon recorded additional vocals at his studio, April Base, the outlet said.
“When @Aaron_Dessner came into my life, I was ushered into his world of free-flowing creativity where you don’t overthink, you just make music,” Swifttweetedafter the song’s release. “A song we wrote for his project @BRMadjv (which also features Justin Vernon) is out!”

While recently chatting withZane LoweonNew Music Daily on Apple Music 1, Dessner opened up about the new track, which came about after he and Vernon, 40, worked with Swift on herFolkloreandEvermorealbums.
“I think whatever wildfire happened last year creatively for Taylor and I … we didn’t want to stop writing songs together, and still don’t really. It’s kind of like somehow I ended up on the team with the best player, so you just want to keep passing the ball to her,” he said. “Big Red Machine was a great opportunity because she really fell in love with a lot of the music that Justin and I were working on because I would share it with her.”
