Which producer received a co-production credit on Taylor Swift’s “august” under his real name?

The story behind the answer

Joe Alwyn received a co-production credit on Taylor Swift’s “august.”

The song’s listed producers are Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff, and Joe Alwyn. Alwyn contributed under his real name on the track’s credits, while he used the pseudonym William Bowery for songwriting credits on other Folklore and Evermore songs.

Antonoff built the initial instrumental, and Swift wrote the lyrics. The finished recording combines their songwriting and production with Alwyn’s credited contribution, adding to the album’s collaborative home-studio-era identity.

A common mistake is to identify Aaron Dessner as the producer of every major Folklore song. Dessner was central to the album and produced many tracks, but “august” is specifically credited to Swift, Antonoff, and Alwyn.
