Taylor Swift’s Songwriting Genius Praised by The National’s Matt Berninger in Heartfelt Tribute

 

In a heartfelt tribute, Matt Berninger, frontman of the acclaimed indie rock band The National, has hailed Taylor Swift as one of the best lyricists in the music industry. The statement, shared via a post on X by Taylor Swift Updates (@TSUpdating) at 01:04 UTC on May 19, 2025, underscores the mutual respect between the two artists who have collaborated on several projects in recent years.

 

 

Berninger, known for his own introspective and poetic songwriting, didn’t hold back in his praise for Swift. “Most songwriters, most artists are insecure, dorky nerds who feel misunderstood by the universe,” he said. “They all started out writing little songs about their hearts in their bedrooms, every single one of them. I think Taylor is one of the best lyricists, she manages to get a listener inside a world and feel like they have a confidante and a dear friend who gets them. And how does she do that? By writing great fing songs. So yeah, I learned a lot from Taylor Swift.”

 

 

The National and Swift have a well-documented creative partnership, particularly through Aaron Dessner, a guitarist for the band, who co-wrote and produced several tracks on Swift’s 2020 albums Folklore and Evermore. Their collaboration extended to The National’s 2023 album First Two Pages of Frankenstein, where Swift contributed vocals to the track “The Alcott.” This cross-genre collaboration has been praised for blending Swift’s pop storytelling with The National’s brooding, atmospheric sound.

 

 

Swift’s ability to connect with listeners on a deeply personal level has long been a hallmark of her career, earning her accolades from fans and fellow artists alike. Berninger’s comments echo sentiments shared by other music legends, such as Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks, who have previously lauded Swift’s songwriting prowess. In a 2023 Business Insider article, McCartney noted Swift’s knack for crafting universally relatable narratives, a quality Berninger clearly admires as well.

 

 

Fans on X have reacted enthusiastically to Berninger’s praise, with many highlighting the authenticity of Swift’s artistry. “This is why Taylor resonates with so many of us—she makes you feel seen,” one user commented. Another added, “The National and Taylor are a match made in heaven. Matt gets it!”

 

 

As Swift continues to dominate the music industry with her record-breaking tours and chart-topping releases, Berninger’s words serve as a reminder of the profound impact her songwriting has on both her audience and her peers. Whether in a stadium filled with tens of thousands or through the introspective lens of a fellow artist, Taylor Swift’s ability to create a “confidante and dear friend” through her music remains unparalleled.

When Matt Berninger, the gravelly voiced frontman of The National, called Taylor Swift “one of the best lyricists” in a recent interview, it wasn’t just a compliment—it was a testament to a creative partnership that has quietly reshaped the boundaries of indie rock and pop music. The statement, shared on X by Taylor Swift Updates (@TSUpdating) at 01:04 UTC on May 19, 2025, offers a glimpse into the mutual admiration between two seemingly disparate musical forces, united by a shared language of vulnerability and storytelling.

Berninger’s words are striking in their sincerity. “Most songwriters, most artists are insecure, dorky nerds who feel misunderstood by the universe,” he said. “They all started out writing little songs about their hearts in their bedrooms, every single one of them. I think Taylor is one of the best lyricists, she manages to get a listener inside a world and feel like they have a confidante and a dear friend who gets them. And how does she do that? By writing great fing songs. So yeah, I learned a lot from Taylor Swift.”

For fans of both The National and Swift, this praise is more than a soundbite—it’s a validation of a collaboration that began in 2020 and has since blossomed into one of the most fruitful partnerships in contemporary music.
