Jack Antonoff and Taylor Swift have worked together on over 10 albums, but he wasn’t part of her last album, The life of a showgirlwhich sparked some curiosity among fans.
Despite not working on the record with the pop superstar, 36, the Bleachers frontman, 42, shut down any speculation of a feud and disagreement as Max Martin and Shellback joined Swift on her 12th album.
While the 14-time Grammy winner and Isimo The hitmaker had already subtly denied rumors of a clash since they were seen together several times after the album’s release, Antonoff directly admitted his feelings in a new interview.
THE Merry Christmas, please don’t callThe singer told Howard Stern on his show that he only feels “grateful” for the work they’ve done together.
Antonoff noted that it would actually be quite strange to work with the same collaborators on every record, as each album requires different treatment.
The musician claimed that he understood it very well, given that he himself writes his own music and that is why he likes Showgirl as is, with Swift’s collaboration with musicians other than himself.
“I understand the need to have different collaborators. The friendship is very deep. You live an incredible artistic life together in this room and then it continues,” he said.
Fans flocked to the comments and applauded Antonoff’s approach to the topic, while blasting interviewers who asked about it, writing, “I’m glad he brought it up! So people can get some closure on this topic.”
Another added: “Very elegant and graceful response.”
