Who co-produced Taylor Swift’s “august” with Swift for the album Folklore?

Jack Antonoff co-produced Taylor Swift’s “august” with Swift for Folklore.

Antonoff was one of Swift’s principal collaborators on Folklore. He co-wrote and co-produced several songs on the album, including “august,” helping shape its spacious, textured sound. The production uses layered guitars, strings, keyboards, and prominent reverb to create a dreamy late-summer atmosphere.

Aaron Dessner was also central to Folklore, but he did not co-produce “august.” Dessner co-wrote and produced many other songs on the album, including “the 1,” “cardigan,” and “the last great american dynasty.” This division of collaborators is a common source of confusion when identifying the producer of a particular track.

Antonoff’s work with Swift continued across later albums and projects. He had already collaborated with her on songs from 1989, Reputation, and Lover, and the Folklore sessions expanded that partnership into a more indie-oriented production style.
