Jack Antonoff has recently earned ASCAP‘s pop music songwriter of the year award at ASCAP Pop Music Awards held in Los Angeles on May 1.

The Grammy winner was recognised for his collaborations while working with singers on songs like Sabrina Carpenter’s Please Please Please, as well as for his work on Taylor Swift’s Anti-Hero, Fortnight, I Can Do It with a Broken Heart, Is It Over Now? and Karma, shared via The Hollywood Reporter.

Last year, Jack produced Taylor’s The Tortured Poets Department several tracks on Kendrick Lamar’s GNX and on Sabrina’s Short n’ Sweet.
