Joe Alwyn received official co-producer recognition for Taylor Swift’s “august” after Folklore won Album of the Year.
Alwyn was credited under the pseudonym William Bowery on Folklore-related work. The Recording Academy recognized him as a co-producer after Folklore won Album of the Year at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2021.
The distinction can be confusing because the album’s liner notes credited Swift and Jack Antonoff as the producers of “august.” Antonoff co-wrote the song and produced its instrumental, while Alwyn’s contribution was recognized through the later Grammy-related credit process.
Alwyn also co-wrote songs on Folklore and Evermore under the William Bowery name. This makes his role broader than a single production credit, but the question concerns the specific co-producer recognition attached to “august.”
