“Willow” joined Taylor Swift’s “august” in the medley at the 63rd Grammy Awards.
Swift performed a three-song sequence consisting of “Cardigan,” “august,” and “Willow” on March 14, 2021. The first two songs came from Folklore, while “Willow” came from Evermore, the companion album Swift released in December 2020.
The performance used a cottage setting and moved from “Cardigan” to “august” before concluding with “Willow.” Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner accompanied Swift, marking the first time the three performed together.
A common mix-up is choosing another Evermore track, because several songs from that album were prominent during the same period. However, “Willow” is the specific Evermore song in this Grammy medley. The appearance also helped connect Swift’s two pandemic-era albums, whose fictional storytelling, atmospheric production, and surprise-release histories are frequently discussed together.
