Artist:Big Red Machine f/Taylor Swift
Song:Renegade
Album:How Long Do You Think It's Gonna Last?
Big Red Machine is a side project by two guys who are very successful with their main bands. The 2021 single Renegade charted because Taylor Swift appears on it. The main guy behind Big Red Machine is The National leader Aaron Dessner. He's from Cincinnati hence the name. Back in 2008, Dessner messaged Justin Vernon of Bon Iver on MySpace about contributing a song to a Red Hot benefit album. They didn't know each other. After performing the song at Radio City Music Hall, they agreed to work together on similar projects. In 2016, Dessner approached Vernon about forming a band that would play music festivals. It would be called Big Red Machine. The debut album Big Red Machine was released in 2008 on Jagjaguwar. Dessner produced it in his home studio. For the 2021 album How Long Do You Think It's Gonna Last?, Dessner decided this album would be more ambitious. It would feature guest vocalists including Taylor Swift. Dessner worked with Taylor on her albums Folklore and Evermore. The single Renegade reached #73 on the Billboard Hot 100. So it did well. They wrote the song while working on Evermore and they thought it would be a great Big Red Machine song. Taylor appears on two songs and there are plenty of guests on the album. The album is available as a budget CD. Here's the video for Renegade by Big Red Machine featuring Taylor Swift.
