At the 2021 Grammys, which songs did Taylor Swift perform with “august”?

At the 2021 Grammys, Taylor Swift performed “august” in a medley with “Cardigan” and “Willow.” The performance took place at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards on March 14, 2021.

The medley connected two albums. “Cardigan” and “august” came from Folklore, while “Willow” came from Evermore, the sister album Swift released later in 2020. Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner joined Swift for the performance, marking the first time the three performed together.

The staging used a cottage-like setting. Swift began with “Cardigan,” performed “august” while playing guitar inside the cottage, and then moved outside for “Willow.” The arrangement emphasized the woodland atmosphere associated with the Folklore and Evermore eras.

A common mix-up is substituting “Betty” for “Willow” because “Betty” is the third song in Folklore’s teenage love-triangle storyline. “Betty” was not part of this Grammy medley; the three performed songs were “Cardigan,” “august,” and “Willow.”
