    I was in the audience for this interview and Jack had cursed a few times and also mentioned a few times that a lot of stuff from his interview would get cut and he was right lol, was a great night and performance by the Bleachers tho !
  • @Rachel.DawnAmber
    I can totally see why Jack & Taylor are the best of friends man
  • @hsl2929
    “It was the first time I was just sort of frozen and it felt like 30 years of cynicism was exiting my body. And it was beautiful and it was every cliche and I kind of melted and broke in a very sweet way.” THEY HAVE TO MAKE THIS A SONG 😳
  • @Bernicemarie
    I’m glad cruel summer is no. 1 at the moment. For me, I fell in love with this song instantly when Lover initially came out in 2019 ❤
  • Jack Antonoff is the mastermind behind most of our favourite pop songs! I'm glad to see him getting the attention he deserves!
  • 11:10 Him leading the drummer and the drummer hitting it spot on was more amazing than anyone is considering. He’s all “…and Ringo goes 🥁 🥁 “ and the drummer picked it up, no beat skipped. 💞🤟💞🥳 Edit: this is the first interview I’ve rewatched since Justin Timberla
  • @jaypeacock9830
    4 minutes into this interview and not only have I seen such an inspiration for awkward people (and possibly autistic mfs like myself) but also, such a cool guy with a blasé external approach to extraneous social situations. I of course know Jacks work as an avid TS fan but have only just truly witnessed his personality and I can quite confidently say I love this man and I would like to be his friend 🖖
  • @KittyNoir-tq4jb
    The way I know when Jack produces something. This man loves his synths.
  • @esruez
    If you already know Jack Antonoff way back when he was still a band member of fun. with Nate Ruess then you know how incredibly proud we are of him. He has come a long waaay. Congrats Jack on your success and more hits to come 🎉
  • It's amazing to feel Jack's energy throughout an interview! I totally get why people want to work with him and why society rewards such products on and on with many artists. Maybe there is not too much need to go with what others want in such level? Like doing it for yourself and then see what will distribute itself in today's content creation era? Also I love Taylor Swift!
  • I love Jack, even present in an interview, you can see the gears turning behind his eyes. I feel like he had at least 3 song ideas while having this conversation 😂
  • I've met Jack twice, and he's such an insanely cool dude. I'm a huge fan of steel train and fun. It's so awesome to watch his career and see what he puts out next.
  • @Neil_555
    He's clearly not a quick interview on network TV kinda guy. He's a sit down chilled and dissect the craft with Sam Jones kinda guy.
  • @faithlove5603
    jack struggling to get in the chair at the beginning will never not be funny
  • @ToufiqueAli
    when he talked about marriage... that was the sweetest thing :)
  • @swiftie_
    Jimmy asked how was the wedding and Jack was like "Tons of mean swifties ruined it but I have to stay cool and say it was great"
  • @kiman6
    Jack is such a musical genius. Bleachers is my absolute favorite band and every song he works on with other artists are magic. My favorite Taylor Swift songs are all co-written/produced by Jack and BFIAFL is the best 1975 album to date!
  • @lenadlk7411
    I understand why Taylor loves him, he’s funny cool and awkward but in a cute way.. But most importantly really really talented!!
