Joe Alwyn was recognized by the Recording Academy as a co-producer on Taylor Swift’s “august.” The recognition came after Folklore won Album of the Year at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.
The song’s liner-note producer credits list Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff, while the Recording Academy recognized Alwyn as a co-producer. This distinction can cause confusion because different crediting systems and award databases may present the production information differently.
Alwyn worked with Swift under the pseudonym William Bowery on several Folklore and Evermore songs. For “august,” the specific Recording Academy recognition is important because it connects the song to Folklore’s Grammy-winning album credit history. Antonoff remains the song’s co-writer and a principal producer, but the question asks specifically for the additional co-producer recognized by the Academy. The annual August trend does not change these original production credits.
