Jack Antonoff has reportedly ended an interview abruptly when asked about Taylor Swift’s upcoming album.The singer, songwriter, producer and Bleachers frontman was taking part in a new discussion with a Dutch news outlet when he was asked about his involvement in Taylor Swift’s upcoming 11th studio album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.According to various outlets including The Independent, the musician hung up on the reporter from NRC after being asked to talk about the pop icon’s new material. “You know I don’t talk about that,” he is reported as telling the outlet.“If you’re looking for clickbait, you’ve come to the wrong place.

I create music with my friends. It comes as it comes. I’m not the kind of producer to bark commands from behind a mixing board.

I involve myself in the music itself; the way you can steer the creative process,” he said. “Being able to listen to each other well is one thing.
