Taylor Swift co-produced “august” with Jack Antonoff and Joe Alwyn.
The track’s production credits list Swift, Antonoff, and Alwyn. Swift was therefore involved not only as the vocalist and songwriter but also in shaping the recording’s final sound. The arrangement combines dream-pop textures, guitar-based elements, soft rock coloring, strings, keyboards, and dense reverb.
Joe Alwyn was credited as a producer under his songwriting pseudonym, William Bowery, and the Recording Academy later recognized him as a co-producer. Antonoff was both co-writer and producer, making him another central figure in the track’s creation.
Aaron Dessner is often associated with Folklore because he co-wrote and produced many songs on the album. However, he is not listed among the producers of “august.”
