Which producer helped Taylor Swift create “august” alongside Jack Antonoff?

Taylor Swift helped Jack Antonoff produce “august,” and the two are credited as its producers.

Swift was not only the singer and co-writer: she also participated directly in shaping the recording. Antonoff developed the instrumental first, then Swift wrote the lyrics and contributed to the production of the finished track. Their collaboration combined Antonoff’s layered, atmospheric sound with Swift’s close attention to narrative detail and vocal phrasing.

The credit is sometimes muddled because Joe Alwyn played instruments and received production-related recognition on folklore as a whole, while Aaron Dessner produced many other songs on the album. For “august,” the standard song credit identifies Swift and Antonoff as producers.

This shared production role fits the broader making of folklore. Swift worked remotely with a small circle of collaborators, and the album’s songs often grew from instrumental sketches into complete stories. “august” is therefore both a songwriting collaboration and a co-production between Swift and Antonoff.
