Taylor Swift performed “willow” with “august” and “cardigan” at the 63rd Grammy Awards.
The March 14, 2021 performance was built as a Folklore-era medley with a connection to Evermore. Swift began with “cardigan,” performed “august” on guitar inside a cottage, and then moved outside for “willow.” The staging used a wooded cottage setting that matched the atmospheric visual identity of her 2020 albums.
Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner accompanied Swift, marking the first time the three performed together. Antonoff and Dessner were the principal producers associated with Folklore and its sound, while “willow” came from Evermore, the companion album released later in 2020.
A common mistake is answering “betty,” because it is one of the three songs in the fictional love-triangle story with “august.” It was not the third song in this Grammy medley; “willow” was.
