Joe Alwyn shared production credit with Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff on “august.”
Alwyn was credited under the pseudonym William Bowery on several Folklore and Evermore songs, but the “august” credit is listed under his own name. He contributed to the production alongside Swift and Antonoff, making the track a three-producer collaboration.
Alwyn is primarily known publicly as an English actor, with film roles including Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, The Favourite, Harriet, and Conversations with Friends. His musical involvement with Swift’s pandemic-era albums was initially less widely known because the William Bowery name concealed his identity.
A frequent confusion is assigning every Folklore collaboration to Aaron Dessner. Dessner was a major creative partner on the album, but he did not receive the production credit for “august.” The credited producers for this song are Swift, Antonoff, and Alwyn.
