Aaron Dessner's collaborative relationship with Taylor Swift has not only brought out new flares in her music, it's also brought Swifties out to see Dessner's band, The National, play live. And according to singer Matt Berninger, those fans usually look a little "bewildered" during the set.

“We see a lot of Taylor Swift fans coming to shows and being bewildered by the first 25 minutes or so,” he admitted during an interview with NME before praising the wider reach his band's received in the last decade. “We’ve been blessed with demographics that are across the spectrum. Then 10 or 15 years ago, a lot of younger people started coming [to our shows] – 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.”

If any Swifties are curious about checking out The National live, they'll have plenty of chances to do so this fall when the band heads out on a North American tour with The War on Drugs. Check out the full list of dates below.
