The Eras Tour continued in Tampa, Florida, this weekend, and Taylor Swift was joined by longtime collaborator Aaron Dessner (The National, Big Red Machine) for two shows.

Dessner was spotted at the show by fans on Thursday night, and on the Friday he joined Swift on stage to debut "The Great War" and "You're on Your Own, Kid", from the Midnights (3am Edition) albums.

On the Saturday, Dessner returned to the stage to help Swift debut "mad woman" from her folklore album which Dessner produced alongside Jack Antonoff and Swift's ex Joe Alwyn.
