Which producer received co-producer credit for Taylor Swift’s "august"?

The story behind the answer

Joe Alwyn received co-producer credit for Taylor Swift’s “august.”

The track’s listed producers are Swift, Jack Antonoff, and Alwyn. Swift and Antonoff are the song’s credited writers, while Alwyn’s production contribution was formally recognized after Folklore won Album of the Year at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.

Alwyn was credited under the pseudonym William Bowery on parts of Folklore and Evermore. The “august” credit is often discussed alongside his broader behind-the-scenes contribution to Swift’s pandemic-era albums.

A common mix-up is naming Aaron Dessner, who was another major Folklore collaborator. Dessner produced several songs on the album, but the specific producer credits for “august” include Alwyn rather than Dessner.
