Which producer co-produced Taylor Swift’s “august” with Swift and Joe Alwyn?

The story behind the answer

Jack Antonoff co-produced Taylor Swift’s “august” with Swift and Joe Alwyn. Antonoff also co-wrote the song with Swift, making him both a songwriter and a producer on the track.

For “august,” Antonoff created the instrumental first and sent it to Swift. She wrote the lyrics quickly and described the process as intuitive. Their collaboration continued a creative partnership that had already included songs on 1989, Reputation, and Lover.

Joe Alwyn was credited as a producer under the pseudonym William Bowery on Folklore-related work, while Aaron Dessner was another major Folklore collaborator. That distinction matters because Dessner helped produce much of the album, but he is not the co-producer named in the standard credits for “august.”
