Jack Antonoffwill always haveTaylor Swift’s back.
The record producer, 39, first met Swift, 34, in 2012, and they have beenworking togetherever since. Whilespeaking to theLos Angeles Timesfor a new interview, Antonoff praised Swift’s incredible songwriting skills and suggested anyone who stated otherwise was “toast” to him.
In January 2022, Damon Albarn suggestedSwift didn’t write her own songsin an interview with theTimes, which, unsurprisingly, didn’t go down well with Antonoff. The songwriter called him a “herb” at the time in aTwitter post.
Discussing his social media comebacks, Antonoff told theTimes, “I’m a little bitch sometimes."
“But you come after my friend Taylor, you’re toast to me,” Antonoff added, and even said questioning Swift’s songwriting “is like challenging someone’s faith in God. You just don’t go there.”

“I apologise unreservedly and unconditionally. The last thing I would want to do is discredit your songwriting. I hope you understand,” he added.
