Jack Antonoff closed an interview after being asked if he was collaborating on his friend Taylor Swift’s upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department.

The songwriter and record producer, 39, who has frequently worked with the Bad Blood hitmaker, 34, in the past, hung up on a Dutch media outlet. NRC after being questioned about the project, according to Page six.

‘You know I don’t talk about that. If you’re looking for clickbait, you’ve come to the wrong place. Thank you for this conversation,’ she said, before ending the interview.

Early in the conversation, Antonoff, who recently criticized Swift’s nemesis Kanye West, mentioned Swift when comparing her latest project Bleachers to the music she produced for Swift and singer Lana Del Rey, 38.

‘I don’t see it as a production. I create music with my friends. It comes as it comes. I’m not the type of producer who likes to give orders from behind a mixing desk.

‘I care about the music itself; the way you can manage the creative process,” she explained.

‘Success is a strange phenomenon. “It distracts from the ordinary mechanisms that lead to good pop music,” he added.

‘Being able to listen to each other well is one thing. The artists I work with trust that I can help them improve their music.’

Tortured Poets Department is Swift’s eleventh studio album scheduled for release on April 19.

Swift surprised her fans when she announced her new album while accepting a 2024 Grammy in February for best pop vocal album for Midnights, which Antonoff co-produced. She also co-wrote 12 of the LP’s 13 songs.

It’s not the first time Antonoff has proven to be a fiercely loyal friend to Swift, after he defended her songwriting skills and said that questioning them “is like challenging someone’s faith in God.”

Two years ago, Gorillaz and Blur frontman Damon Albarn mocked the LA Times by saying that the pop star “doesn’t write his own songs.”

Outraged, Jack took to Twitter to call the 55-year-old Englishman a “weed” and wrote: “I’ve never met Damon Albarn and he’s never been in my studio but apparently he knows more than the rest of us about all those songs that Taylor write and bring”.

Antonoff and Swift's collaboration began sometime in 2013. Jack went on to write and produce songs on her albums 1989, Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Fearless (Taylor's Version), Red (Taylor's Version), Speak Now (Taylor's Version), 1989 (Taylor's Version), Version) and Midnight

“Sometimes I’m a bit of an idiot,” Antonoff told the Los Angeles Times last month about the Tweet.

But if you’re coming after my friend Taylor, you’re toasting me. (That) is like challenging someone’s faith in God. Just don’t go there.

Damon decided to “unreservedly and unconditionally apologize” after Taylor tweeted, “I was a huge fan of yours until I saw this.” I write ALL my own songs. Your positive opinion is completely false and VERY harmful. You don’t have to like my songs, but it’s really fucked up to try to discredit my writing. WOW.’

Last month, Jack also criticized Kanye West and said he needed his diaper changed amid the controversial musician’s ongoing feud with Taylor.

Kanye has feuded with Taylor since he stormed the pop idol’s acceptance speech at the 2009 VMAs, when she won best female video for You Belong With Me.

At that point Kanye burst onto the stage and interrupted her acceptance speech, saying that Beyonce deserved the award.

In recent weeks, Kanye, 46, has claimed that he’s actually been “much more helpful than detrimental to Taylor’s career,” and denied claims that she got him kicked out of the Super Bowl when he tried to “upstage” her. .

But responding to the rapper’s continued rant, producer Jack said he “just needs his diaper changed badly.”
