At the 2021 Grammy Awards, which two musicians accompanied Taylor Swift during “august”?

Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner accompanied Taylor Swift during her 2021 Grammy Awards performance of “august.”

The performance formed a three-song Folklore medley: Swift began with “cardigan,” moved into “august,” and finished with “willow.” Antonoff and Dessner performed alongside her, reflecting their central production roles on Folklore.

The appearance was notable because it was the first time Swift, Antonoff, and Dessner performed together. The staging used a cottage-like set, with Swift singing “august” on guitar inside the structure before the performance continued.

Joe Alwyn is sometimes included in discussions of Folklore’s credits because he co-produced some songs under the name William Bowery. He did not accompany Swift at this Grammy performance. The ceremony was the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, held in 2021.
