How does this only have 168 views and no comments? Taylor is Queen btw

[@ellenpederson-lewis8557]

Jack fascinates me! He's brilliant and so humble. He and Taylor (and Aaron) are fire.

This is an excellent podcast!! Jack is BEYOND TALENTED....he speaks with such clarity about music, culture, life experiences....I am BLOWN AWAY by his BRILLIANCE. I truly understood everything he spoke about. Thank you Time and Jack for everything you’ve done ✅ and the things you continue to manifest!!

[@bedlams]

Very interesting person, honest and with good moral qualities, happy that my beloved Taylor Swift has such people around her♥️♥️♥️

[@skyes333]

Jack, I’m so proud of you and your growth. Amazing to see where your trajectory is throwing you, what a ride. Seriously, so proud.

[@melisabuckley2873]

I just saw this and I love how Jack how explains everything it so inspiring but simplistic

[@jaynmercysmom]

Jack is amazing. He, Aaron Dessner, and Taylor are the ultimate dream team!! Love you guys!

[@mamat8184]

I so appreciate experiencing conversations with Jack. They are a combination of intelligence, incite, quirkiness, and especially honesty. All qualities I admire. Also, this interviewer had some excellent questions. Thank you, Time.

[@hkandm4s23]

What a cool interview. I love that he's actually a good producer AND so many female artists are comfortable with him. For way too long a lot of major pop producers were overbearing, micromanaged their artists and often were downright creepy. I appreciate that he actually seems to be a good collaborator and a good person.

[@tammycombs167]

What an incredible producer/performer/creative Jack is. So glad he and Taylor found each other.

Long live this amazing legend.

NJ REPRESENT. Jack is inspiring 🫶🏼

[@sandybourdeau9300]

New Jersey is my happy place

[@couldbahappychic1217]

i see Jack Antonoff and Taylor Swift and I must click. ....

[@ellenpederson-lewis8557]

Absolutely!

[@angellombness4371]

Explanation of culture trends seems to be something helpful to all artist molding their creativity. Brilliant interview moments.

[@ktowery1]

Jack is 100% correct about resalers absolutely ruining the live music experience. Starting my concert history seeing Led Zeppelin @ 12 & costing $7 festival seating, 2-3 big names under $10. A big big name I might go $200, but not in nose bleed section....spending thousands is dope.

[@randystalnaker6700]

Just found this! Loved it, such a talented guy...

[@yahboyee28]

Very nice interview ❤

[@EgyptianOracle]

I’m wildly fascinated with Antonoff. The Jewish New Jersey alternative vibe is so exotic and wonderful

[@bonnierussell4946]

Jack in my opinion…is the “secret sauce” to many terrific records…from solo singers to bands, Jersey rocks. Always has.

[@stardustmelody2709]

This is so interesting.
