“Willow” from Evermore joined Taylor Swift’s performance of “august” at the 2021 Grammy Awards.
Swift performed a medley of “Cardigan,” “august,” and “Willow” at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards on March 14, 2021. The performance connected Folklore with Evermore, the companion album Swift released later in 2020.
The sequence began with “Cardigan,” moved to “august,” and concluded with “Willow.” Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner accompanied Swift, marking the first time the three performed together. The staging used a cottage and woodland setting that matched the rustic, storybook atmosphere associated with Folklore.
“Exile” is a tempting alternative because it is another major Folklore collaboration, but it was not part of this Grammy medley. “Willow” is the correct answer because it came from Evermore and completed the three-song performance.
