Joe Alwyn co-produced Taylor Swift’s “August.”
The track was produced by Swift, Jack Antonoff, and Alwyn. Alwyn was credited under the pseudonym William Bowery on Folklore’s liner notes, and the Recording Academy later recognized him as a co-producer after the album won Album of the Year.
Alwyn’s credited involvement is easy to miss because the song is most often discussed through Swift and Antonoff’s collaboration. His production credit connects “August” to the wider group of Folklore recordings made collaboratively during the pandemic.
Alwyn is also an actor, known for films including The Favourite, Harriet, and Conversations with Friends. His work with Swift on Folklore and Evermore marked a notable contribution to her songwriting and production credits.
