Marcus Mumford Says Taylor Swift Finished Part of Evermore at His Home Studio

Mumford describes how Aaron Dessner quietly steered Swift to his UK studio during late‑pandemic recording.

Overview

  • Speaking on the Table Manners podcast, Mumford said Swift was “the most phenomenal house guest” and even arrived with a “killer candle.”
  • He recounted that Swift completed the second half of Evermore in his home studio during sessions arranged to be low profile.
  • The collaboration led to Mumford contributing vocals to Swift’s track Cowboy Like Me from the 2020 album.
  • Mumford said Dessner called at the end of COVID restrictions seeking a discreet UK studio, revealing the artist was Swift.
  • In the same interview, Mumford credited advice from Noel Gallagher with prompting Mumford & Sons to begin daily songwriting in January 2023.
