“Willow” joined Taylor Swift’s “august” in a medley at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.
Swift performed “cardigan,” “august,” and “willow” together on March 14, 2021. The first two songs came from Folklore, while “willow” came from Evermore, the sister album Swift released later in 2020.
The performance featured Swift with Folklore collaborators Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner. It used a cottage-like forest set that matched Folklore’s rustic, dreamlike visual style. Swift began with “cardigan,” moved into “august,” and finished with “willow.”
Listeners sometimes remember the performance as only a Folklore medley because two of its three songs came from that album. “willow” is the key distinction: it belongs to Evermore and was the final song in the televised sequence.
