At the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2021, Taylor Swift performed “willow” after “august.”
Swift’s performance was a medley of “cardigan,” “august,” and “willow.” She began with “cardigan,” moved into “august,” and then ended with “willow.” The sequence connected the Folklore and Evermore eras through a shared woodland and cottage-like visual setting.
Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner accompanied Swift during the performance. It was notable because it brought together key collaborators from the two sister albums on the Grammy stage.
“willow” is from Evermore, not Folklore, so it is easy to confuse it with “cardigan” and “betty,” which are both part of the Folklore love-triangle storyline. The medley’s order is also distinct from the album track listings.
