I love that he has the ability to know when to say no, and prioritise his own life.

[@cherryontop08]

This is how I found out he was a member of FUN. What?? I loved them!

[@AP-ob6ig]

NOT YOU FORGETTING EVERMORE. THE ERASURE IS REAL

[@Tsukiakari-qb3tk]

he only did one song on it, aaron produced the rest

[@AP-ob6ig]

Actually while he only produced gold rush, he has co-writing credit on ivy. His work on gold rush was part of his nomination for producer of the year at the grammy's and Evermore itself was nominated of AOTY. So it is an important album for his career.@@Tsukiakari-qb3tk

[@Autobahn4537]

I love Jack’s music. The Bleachers are awesome.

[@thespeakersreview99]

And FUN. TO SHE Previous bands

[@mamat8184]

I love Willie Geist's interviews. He is so respectful of the artist. Thanks Willie.❤

[@1989TaylorsVersiom]

His song A&W on Lana Del Reys new album is amazing. I bought the target edition vinyl just to hear that song on vinyl. Hes an amazing producer. I can't wait for October 27th to listen to 1989TV on vinyl!💙💙💙

[@Annapolisz]

Everyone is so caught up with evermore not being listed, the reason for that, most probably, is that the only two songs he contributed to on the record are Gold Rush and Ivy, all the other tracks were a collaboration with Aaron Dessner.

[@thisisbrad]

He’s very well worded, in the same realm as Taylor Swift with his vocabulary. Probably part of what makes them great collaborators.

[@stacybishop3484]

He’s talented. Like a big nerd that’s is super smart and creative.

[@AleksandrCyplakov-zc3hy]

He seemed so awkward / nervous. I wonder if he's more of a creative, introvert type. Brilliant musician and sweet, though.

[@KCNwokoye]

Willie is such a delightful journalist to listen to. Always thoughtful and warm. One of the best talents from NBC.

[@theresebell1198]

Love his attitude towards life

[@jackielehman8945]

Taylor is THE tallent agent.

[@jackielehman8945]

Omg i totally forgot about Fun! ❤🎉

[@katiekinser9076]

Poor evermore 😢

[@verosaraiva]

He only worked on 1 song on the album!

[@kpire6066]

Great interview. I appreciate the shout out to local production contributions. News capabilities need to be continued and supported locally.

[@klu5301]

His collabs with Lana Del Rey are so incredible, especially ‘A&W’!!

[@scorpiolady1]

Really talent unrated artist. Keep doing you. ☺️🙌

[@mitb06]

How does he still stay so anonymous and lowkey

[@deborar431]

What about evermore?

[@amalthealou4622]

It’s just one song (gold rush) but he still produced it and was nominated too

[@nilay_nur]

​@@amalthealou4622I think he also worked on "ivy"

[@millennialme9578]

Chinatown is my favorite song of all time. 🧡

[@maxcaines3568]

Everyone knows the getaway car video..... either you know it or you don't.. Didnt realise that video was in this clip

[@Ciph3rN1N3]

[@IkeChristenson]

[@danielthacker8494]

Why tf did they ignore evermore lol

[@matthew5488]

[@verosaraiva]

Because he only worked on 1 song

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

@@verosaraiva- Makes sense. I didn’t know, but assumed he must not have worked on that album.

[@tomasalcorta7402]

Not the Evermore's erasure
