Jack Antonoff<\/strong> has been making Grammy-winning albums with Taylor Swift<\/strong> for years now, but he says that their most recent release, The Tortured Poets Department,<\/em> represents the height of their artistic collaboration.<\/p>\n

Asked by TIME<\/em><\/a> what he learned from working on that record, Jack said, “So much. Every album we’ve done together, I’ve learned so much. That one, to me, was just the ultimate … I felt like it was truly what it\u2019s like to be alive right now.”<\/p>\n

“That album, because it’s this crazy journey of love, lost love, betrayal, and hurt, and then even the escapism chapter with ‘Florida!!!’ which is one of my favorite parts \u2014 I see it as our opus. It’s a whirlwind. It was a whirlwind to make it,” he continues.<\/p>\n

“I love it so much for that reason, because the only true goal when making an album is to capture the feeling of the moment.”<\/p>\n

“TTPD<\/em> moves quickly into different emotional territory, which I think is how a lot of us are living,” he concludes. “I think that’s why so many people are listening to it.”<\/p>\n

Asked if he would like to explore a different genre or sound with Taylor, Jack says, “I don’t really plan. Everything always happens in the moment in the room.”<\/p>\n

Jack also worked on Sabrina Carpenter<\/strong>‘s RIAA Platinum-certified album Short n’ Sweet<\/em>. He says his favorite song on that record is “Sharpest Tool<\/a>,” in which Sabrina sings about a guy, “I know you’re not the sharpest tool in the shed\/ We had sex, I met your best friends\/ Then a bird flies by and you forget.”<\/p>\n
