Which producer also played acoustic and electric guitar on Taylor Swift’s “august”?

Jack Antonoff is the producer who also played acoustic and electric guitar on Taylor Swift’s “august.”

Antonoff co-wrote the song with Swift and produced it with Swift and Joe Alwyn. His instrumental credits include live drums, percussion, programming, electric guitar, and acoustic guitar, making him central to both the song’s writing and its sound.

The production began with Antonoff creating the instrumental. Swift later wrote the lyrics on the spot after receiving that musical foundation, according to accounts of the song’s creation. This workflow helped produce the track’s intuitive, atmospheric character.

Antonoff’s role is sometimes confused with Alwyn’s because both are credited as producers. Alwyn’s co-producer credit was formally recognized after Folklore won Album of the Year at the 63rd Grammy Awards, but the guitar credits belong to Antonoff.
