Taylor Swift<\/a> has addressed rumours surrounding a supposed feud with Jack Antonoff<\/a>, offering some insight into their working relationship.<\/p>\n

The megastar has worked with the Bleachers<\/a> frontman on several albums dating back to 2014 smash hit \u20181989<\/a>\u2019, with their last collaboration being 2024\u2019s \u2018The Tortured Poets Department<\/a>\u2019. However, Swift worked with producers Max Martin and Shellback on her 2025 album, \u2018The Life Of A Showgirl<\/a>\u2019, prompting speculation of a falling out between the pair.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The New York Times<\/a>\u00a0on Tuesday (April 28), Swift set the record straight on how she feels about Antonoff. \u201cJack Antonoff is a collaborator of mine and one of my best friends,\u201d she said, before detailing their process together.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe established this thing that we love to do, and we call it the rant bridge,\u201d she said. \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<\/p>\n

Antonoff also discussed not working on \u2018The Life Of A Showgirl\u2019 during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show<\/a> on the same day, emphasising he isn\u2019t bothered about Swift working with other people.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s normal to have the same collaborators over and over,\u201d he said, \u201cand when I\u2019ve had it with people, I think it\u2019s a weird miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n

He shared that his perspective as a singer makes him understand the need to work with numerous people. \u201cI only feel grateful for the work that has happened,\u201d he insisted. \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
