Everyone, and we mean everyone<\/em>, is looking forward to Taylor Swift<\/a>\u2018s newest album The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>. However, Swifties noticed that one of the Lover<\/em> singer\u2019s longtime collaborators, Jack Antonoff<\/a>, isn\u2019t included in the project. His wife Margaret Qualley<\/a> revealed her true thoughts about the situation.<\/p>\n Today<\/em> host Craig Melvin talked to The Substance<\/em> actress on the morning show<\/a> and pointed out that her husband \u201chas produced for\u00a0Taylor\u00a0<\/strong>for years.\u201d He asked if she knew anything about the new album. Margaret\u00a0<\/strong>responded, \u201cI don\u2019t know anything.\u201d She added, \u201cI\u2019ll be excited to listen to the music.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n When announcing the newest album on her boyfriend Travis Kelce\u2019s podcast New Heights<\/a><\/em>, Swift explained that she, Max Martin, and Shellback were the sole producers of the album. \u201cWe\u2019ve never actually made an album before where it\u2019s just the three of us,\u201d she continued, before confirming: \u201cThere\u2019s no other collaborators. It\u2019s just the three of us making a focused album.\u201d<\/p>\n Related: Taylor Swift\u2019s\u00a0The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>\u00a0Will Allegedly Address Her Beef With Donald Trump & Blake Lively<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Antonoff, along with Aaron Dessner, were producers for Swift\u2019s last five albums including The Tortured Poets Department<\/em>,<\/a> evermore<\/a><\/em>, folklore<\/em>, and her re-recorded Taylor\u2019s Versions. Legendary pop producer Max Martin and his frequent collaborator Shellback worked with Swift during her transition into pop from country, when they produced many songs on Red <\/em>and 1989<\/em>. Swift revealed that she reunited with the Grammy award winning producer when she was in Sweden for her Eras Tour. \u201cWhen I was on tour in Stockholm, I had Max Martin come out to the show, and I was talking to him, and I was like, \u2018I just feel like we could knock it out of the park if we went back in.\u201d<\/p>\n Though as any Swiftie knows, Antonoff and Swift will always be besties. (\u201cI love you to death, Taylor,\u201d he said when he won Producer of the Year at the Grammys in 2024.) She recalled fondly about the time they worked together on the podcast saying that their past projects were \u201cesoteric.\u201d \u201cI was just kind of exploring and trying to challenge myself as a writer,\u201d she said. However, the Bleachers frontman isn\u2019t really straying away from the TS universe. He\u2019s credited as a main producer of Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s Man\u2019s Best Friend<\/em>, and the \u201cPlease Please Please\u201d singer is featured on the last song on The Life of a Showgirl.<\/em><\/p>\n As for what to expect from Swift, Shellback, and Martin, Swift said of the collaboration, \u201cBy the time we came back together, I feel like we had so much more dexterity to what we do,\u201d adding: \u201cIt felt like all three of us in the room were carrying the same weight as creators.\u201d<\/p>\n The goals for the album were simple to Swift. \u201cI essentially said to him, \u2018I want to be as proud of it as an album as I am of the Eras Tour, and for the same reasons,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd he was like, \u2018Do you understand what kind of pressure that is?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"LONDON,](\"https:\/\/stylecaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/taylor-swift.jpg?w=300&h=168&crop=1\")
