Speaking to Vulture, Jack Antonoff dished out which of Taylor Swift's songs had punched him in the gut the hardest.
"I'm not easily shocked, but the stuff that shocks or surprises me is often the most beautifully written stuff," he shared with the publication.
Since Taylor Swift's "1989" era, Antonoff was already there - co-writing and producing the likes of "Out of the Woods," "I Wish You Would", and the bonus track "You Are in Love." He started working on some of the tracks on "Reputation," and "Lover," before taking full control of "Folklore," "Evermore," the re-recorded albums, and "Midnights."
In the interview, Antonoff detailed that what sets something apart from him is the "vulnerability" that Swift has ingrained in the song.
"The end of "You're On Your Own, Kid" is one of those moments for me. I remember, she wrote that right in front of me and then we put it down, and I was completely punched in the gut. Beautiful," he recalled.
On social media, many Swifties have echoed Antonoff's thoughts, saying that the said track is one of the most memorable and most vulnerable tracks that Swift has written that doesn't pertain to love.

Elsewhere in the interview, Jack Antonoff also confessed which of Swift's songs was the hardest one for him to create - which turned out to be "August."
"The end of 'August,' the strings and twangy guitar - that was one where it was really in my head, production-wise, for a long time," he explained. "The end has to be so euphoric. She's talking about, like, 'Meet me behind the mall' and 'Back when we were living for the hope of it all.' I kept attaching to all of her lyrics and being like, This crescendo at the end has to feel like all of that, on fire," he remembered.
