Sabrina Carpenter lashed out at Jack Antonoff haters who have claimed he has a "monotonous production style."

Carpenter spoke to Rolling Stone about Antonoff and his involvement in the singer's upcoming album, Short N' Sweet.

"F**k them all," Carpenter swore before explaining her point. "I think he's one of the most talented people I've ever met. When he's in a room, he's able to literally touch every instrument in the room and make it sound magical. He also works very fast, which I really appreciate because I work very fast."

According to the "Nonsense" hitmaker, she had met Antonoff in New York City a few years ago.

"I was peeing my pants because I wanted to work with him for my whole life. After that, we, luckily enough, became friends; personalities meshed, and it was only a matter of time. He heard some of the stuff that I was working on for this album, and we just started to make magic," Carpenter recalled.

The Grammy-winning producer has worked with Lana Del Rey, Lorde, and Taylor Swift. Many have criticized Antonoff for his "monotonous production style," which some claim was evident in Swift's most recent projects - Midnights and The Tortured Poets Department.

As for Antonoff, he returned the love to Carpenter when he spoke about the rising pop star to the publication.

"[Sabrina Carpenter is] becoming one of the biggest young pop stars, and that song is such a statement of ­expressing yourself, not just lyrically, but sonically," Antonoff raved. "I think that the aesthetic of not giving a fuck or the aesthetic of telling it like it is has become so popular that there's a lot of people who pander to that concept rather than are that concept. Sabrina actually is," he added about the pop star.

Notably, Antonoff co-wrote and co-produced Carpenter's latest Billboard No. 2 hit, "Please Please Please." In Carpenter's upcoming album, Short N' Sweet, the "Espresso" singer revealed that Antonoff had worked in half of her new album.

Carpenter made waves in the music industry after the release of her last album, Emails I Can't Send. The singles from the album, "Nonsense" and "Feather," bolstered Carpenter's mainstream popularity.

With her newfound fame, Carpenter became Swift's opening act for The Eras Tour South America and The Eras Tour Australia and Asia.
