Swift met musician Jack Antonoff in November 2012 at the MTV European Music Awards, as reported by People. The two hit it off right away and bonded over a mutual love for the 80s band Yazoo, which led to their collaboration on the song "Sweeter Than Fiction" and later on Swift's 2014 album "1989." The beloved album won album of the year at the 2016 Grammys, with Antonoff credited for cowriting and producing "Out of the Woods" and "I Wish You Would."
In a 2017 feature story by The New York Times about Antonoff, Swift revealed her love and respect for the musician and producer, saying, "His excitement and exuberance about writing songs is contagious. He's an absolute joy. That's why everyone loves him. I personally wouldn't trust someone who didn't."
The powerful duo went on to work together on a number of other music projects, including many of Swift's later albums, like "Reputation," "Lover," "Folklore," "Evermore," "Fearless (Taylor's Version)", "Red (Taylor's Version)," and "Midnights."
