Jack Antonoff Credits Taylor Swift For Launching Production Career

Jack Antonoff said Taylor Swift helped launch his producer career a decade ago on '1989' by picking him instead of going to bigger name producers.

Jack Antonoff credited his longtime collaborator Taylor Swift for helping launch his career as one of the most accomplished producers of his generation, recalling in an interview that Swift’s decision to give Antonoff more creative control rather than go to a bigger-name producer lead him down his path. This year alone he produced Sabrina Carpenter’s first Number One single “Please Please Please,” as well as many of the tracks on Kendrick Lamar’s surprise album GNX. Back in February when accepting his latest Producer of the Year Grammy, he thanked Swift, saying she “kicked that fucking door open for me.”
