Jack Antonoff Says Taylor Swift Was the First Person to Recognize Him as a Producer

Antonoff credited Swift for jumpstarting his producing career in an interview with The New Yorker in May 2022.

“I’d been trying to produce for a while, but there was always some industry herb going, ‘That’s cute, but that’s not your lane,’ ” he said. “Taylor was the first person with the stature to go, ‘I like the way this sounds, I’m putting it on my album’—and then, suddenly, I was allowed to be a producer.”

The musician echoed similar sentiments this week as well.

“She’s the first person who recognized me as a producer,” Antonoff told TIME‘s Person of the Week podcast, referring to his work on Swift’s 2014 single “Out of the Woods.”

“A lot of people are afraid to sign off on something that isn’t done by a proven person,” he added. “I had written lots of songs and produced them, but they would always sort of go somewhere else. So the label or whoever could say, oh, we had this person produce it. And, you know, I put my heart and soul into that song and she said, ‘I love it.’ “
