But there's a consolation prize for the Eau Claire act. Swift's "Folklore," which features "Exile," won album of the year at the Grammys Sunday night. Bon Iver leader Justin Vernon wasn't in Los Angeles to accept the award but was acknowledged by Swift and the album's producer Aaron Dessner of indie-rock band the National during their acceptance speeches. (Dessner is also Vernon's bandmate in Big Red Machine and co-founder of the Eaux Claires festival in Wisconsin.) "Justin Vernon … was a huge part of this record," Dessner said. Swift added, "Justin Vernon, I'm so excited to meet you someday." (The song, and other Swift and Bon Iver collaborations on Swift's December album "Evermore," were made remotely during the pandemic.)
