INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Look at what you won’t make him do: Producer Jack Antonoff is keeping quiet about who Taylor Swift is singing about in her new song.<\/p>\n

Antonoff co-wrote and co-produced \u201cLook What You Made Me Do,\u201d Swift’s upbeat new song that is rumoured to be about Kanye West. Some even felt the song’s lyrics referenced former friend Katy Perry.<\/p>\n

When asked who Swift is referring to, Antonoff told The Associated Press: \u201cThat’s for her to tell you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLook What You Made Me Do\u201d quickly set three records. The song has the most streams in a single day on Spotify with 10,129,087 plays; its official video — which debuted Sunday at the MTV Video Music Awards — broke Adele’s record for highest number of views within 24 hours on Vevo (30 million and counting); and its lyric video was viewed more than 19 million times on its first day.<\/p>\n

Antonoff, who is the guitarist in the band fun. and has a one-man band called Bleachers, has worked with Swift numerous times. He produced three songs on her \u201c1989\u201d album, which earned him a Grammy; he co-wrote Swift and Zayn’s hit song, \u201cI Don’t Wanna Live Forever\u201d; and he shared a Golden Globe nomination with Swift for her 2013 track, \u201cSweeter than Fiction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI love working with her,\u201d 33-year-old Antonoff said of Swift. \u201cIt’s funny, I grew up just only writing my own songs and having bands … (but) between Taylor and Lorde and Carly Rae (Jepsen), I’ve gotten to work with so many brilliant artists lately, and it means a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hit songs Antonoff has worked on include Sara Bareilles’ \u201cBrave,\u201d Lorde’s \u201cGreen Light\u201d and Rachel Platten’s \u201cStand By You.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou learn a lot from the people you work with,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

With the band fun., Antonoff won the song of the year and best new artist Grammys. In June, he released Bleachers’ sophomore album, \u201cGone Now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swift’s new album, \u201creputation,\u201d will drop on Nov. 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
