(Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)” and “Karma.” A prominent figure in the music industry as both a songwriter and producer, last year he was involved in producing several tracks for Swift’s album “The Tortured Poets Department,” several tracks on Kendrick Lamar’s project “GNX” and Carpenter’s album “Short n’ Sweet.

Simultaneously, Teddy Swims’ song “Lose Control,” penned by ASCAP writer Joshua “Ammo” Coleman and a chart-topper on Billboard’s Hot 100 for an impressive 88 weeks, was named Pop Song of the Year.
