\n\tThe rumors of a a rift between Jack Antonoff<\/a> and Taylor Swift<\/a> have been greatly exaggerated. At least according to Bleachers leader Antonoff, who visited Howard Stern\u2019s SiriusXM show on Tuesday (Apr. 28) to plug his band\u2019s upcoming fifth studio album, Everyone For Ten Minutes, and swat away those whispers about why he wasn\u2019t involved in the production and songwriting of Swift\u2019s most recent album, last year\u2019s The Life of a Showgirl.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI only feel grateful for the work that has happened,\u201d Antonoff said of his decade-long association with Swift, which began on her 2014 1989 album and has spanned 11 albums in total before she re-teamed with Max Martin and Shellback on Showgirl. \u201cMaybe it\u2019s only because I write my own songs and sing them, but I understand that need to have different collaborators and jump around.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAntonoff, who has written and produced on albums by Kendrick Lamar, Lorde, Sabrina Carpenter, The Chicks, St. Vincent and many others, said his widely varied resum\u00e9 is proof that jumping around is a totally healthy thing to do. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s normal to have the same collaborators over and over,\u201d he told Stern. \u201cAnd when I\u2019ve had it with people, I think it\u2019s a weird miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSwift had Antonoff\u2019s back as well in her interview with The New York Times<\/a> for the \u201c30 Greatest Songwriters\u201d issue of the weekend magazine. \u201cJack Antonoff is a collaborator of mine and one of my best friends,\u201d she said, bringing up the same example Antonoff did on Tuesday in explaining their special relationship. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe established this thing that we love to do, and we call it the \u2018rant bridge\u2019,\u201d she told the Times. \u201cIt\u2019s basically like stream of consciousness, endless pouring-out of emotion, intrusive thoughts, blended with metaphor, with discussion, with shouting. You want this rant bridge to feel the most intense of what that feeling is that you\u2019re trying to establish over the course of the song, and you want it to be kind of a crescendo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn Antonoff\u2019s explanation to Stern, the \u201crant bridge\u201d was key to such Swift hits as \u201cCruel Summer,\u201d which he explained came together thusly: \u201cYou spend a whole song \u2014 verse and chorus \u2014 you know, being super poetic and dancing around something \u2026 and then you get to this bridge, and you just crash the f\u2013k out. At that point you\u2019ve earned it, so it\u2019s almost like you can be so free. It\u2019s something that I feel like is one of our very special things \u2026 We kind of egg each other on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAntonoff also touched on his very Jersey upbringing, the song he considers to be the greatest recording ever made (the Beatles\u2019 \u201cHappiness Is a Warm Gun\u201d), how his former band Fun.\u2019s biggest hit, \u201cWe Are Young,\u201d nearly ended up on the Kanye West\/Jay-Z Watch the Throne album, as well as the song he wrote for his high school sweetheart, actress Scarlett Johansson and the love-at-first-sight meet-cute with his wife, actress Margaret Qualley.<\/p>\n
