Jack Antonoff is staying tight-lipped about his good friend Taylor Swift’s new album.
The songwriter and record producer, 39, quickly ended an interview with Dutch news outlet NRC after being asked whether he worked on Swift’s 11th studio album, “Tortured Poets Department,” which is scheduled to be released on April 19.
“You know I don’t talk about that. If you’re looking for clickbait, you’ve come to the wrong place. Thank you for this conversation,” Antonoff said before abruptly exiting the conversation.

Before he walked away, however, Antonoff didn’t completely shy away from mentioning his pal. He shared how the music on his latest project “Bleachers” compares to the music he’s produced for the “Cruel Summer” singer, 34, and Lana Del Rey saying, “I don’t see it as producing.”
“I create music with my friends. It comes as it comes. I’m not the kind of producer who likes to give commands from behind a mixing console. I concern myself with the music itself; the way in which you can manage the creative process,” he explained.
“Success is a strange phenomenon. It distracts attention from the ordinary mechanisms that lead to good pop music. Being able to listen to each other well is one thing. The artists I work with trust that I can help them make their music better.”
