Joe Alwyn helped produce Taylor Swift’s “august” alongside Swift and Jack Antonoff.
Alwyn was credited as a producer on the song under the pseudonym William Bowery. He had a broader creative role in Swift’s pandemic-era albums, contributing to Folklore and Evermore while maintaining a relatively private public profile.
The production credit is distinct from the songwriting credit. Swift and Antonoff are credited as the song’s writers, while the production credits include Swift, Antonoff, and Alwyn. This difference explains why some accounts describe Antonoff as the main collaborator but still list Alwyn in the official production information.
Alwyn also co-wrote several songs with Swift for Folklore and Evermore under the same pseudonym. He is sometimes confused with Aaron Dessner because Dessner was another major Folklore collaborator, but “august” specifically lists Alwyn among its producers.
