Jack Antonoff Reflects on Defending Taylor Swift Against Damon Albarn & Insulting Kanye West


Jack Antonoff reflected on defending Taylor Swift from Damon Albarn and insulting Kanye West. See what he said.

In a Wednesday (Feb. 28) interview with the Los Angeles Times, the 39-year-old producer reflected on the moments he’s called out artists such as Damon Albarn – who in 2022 came under fire for questioning Taylor Swift ’s songwriting credentials – and Kanye West. The “Anti-Hero” singer – who’s a frequent collaborator of Antonoff’s — quickly shut down the claims with a heated post on X, writing, “I was such a big fan of yours until I saw this … Your hot take is completely false and SO damaging.” And while accepting the prize for best pop vocal earlier in the ceremony, Swift announced the duo’s latest project together: The Tortured Poets Department, which arrives April 19.
