Jack Antonoff, the acclaimed musician and frequent collaborator of Taylor Swift, has spoken out in defense of his friend and criticized Kanye West in a candid interview with the Los Angeles Times.

Antonoff, who has worked closely with Swift on multiple albums, including “1989,” “Reputation,” “Lover,” “Folklore,” “Evermore,” and “Midnights,” expressed his unwavering support for Swift, stating, “You come after my friend Taylor, you’re toast to me.” He likened questioning Swift’s songwriting to challenging someone’s faith in God, emphasizing the sanctity of her artistic talent.

Regarding West, Antonoff didn’t hold back, asserting that the rapper “just needs his diaper changed so badly.” He dismissed the idea of collaborating with West, remarking, “It’s been a long time since I would’ve taken Kanye’s call.” Antonoff criticized what he perceived as West’s attempts to shock for shock’s sake, labeling it as a “remarkable waste of space.”

In addition to his work with Swift, Antonoff confirmed his involvement in Lana Del Rey’s forthcoming country-themed album, tentatively titled “Lasso,” describing their collaboration as “f***ing brilliant.”

Antonoff’s unwavering loyalty to Swift was further highlighted when he accepted the Grammy Award for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical. In his acceptance speech, he credited Swift with opening doors for him in the industry, recounting her decision to work with him on the song “Out of the Woods” for her album “1989,” despite pressure to choose a more established producer.

Away from the music scene, Antonoff recently married actor Margaret Qualley in a star-studded ceremony attended by friends and collaborators, including Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey. With a thriving career and a supportive circle of friends, Antonoff continues to make waves in the music industry while remaining steadfast in his defense of artistic integrity and loyalty to those he holds dear.
