Joe Alwyn received co-producer credit for Taylor Swift’s “august” from the Recording Academy.
The original Folklore liner notes credited Swift and Jack Antonoff as producers of the track. After Folklore won Album of the Year at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, the Recording Academy recognized Alwyn as a co-producer on songs including “august.”
Alwyn used the pseudonym William Bowery for songwriting and production work on Folklore and Evermore. His involvement was initially less publicly visible than that of Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, the album’s two most prominent outside collaborators.
This credit is easy to confuse with the song’s writing credit. “august” was written by Swift and Antonoff, while Alwyn’s credited role is production. Dessner produced other Folklore songs and co-wrote several of them, but he is not the answer to this specific Recording Academy credit question.
