At which 2021 award ceremony did Taylor Swift perform “august” in a medley?

Taylor Swift performed “august” in a medley at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.

The ceremony took place on March 14, 2021, and Swift performed “august” with “Cardigan” and “Willow.” The medley linked songs from Folklore and Evermore, creating a compact presentation of the fictional storytelling and woodland imagery associated with that period of her work.

Swift began with “Cardigan,” performed “august” while playing guitar inside a cottage set, and then moved into “Willow.” Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner accompanied her, marking the first time the three performed together in that setting.

The performance is sometimes misremembered as a tour performance because “august” later became part of the Folklore section of the Eras Tour. The Grammy appearance came earlier, in 2021, while the Eras Tour ran from 2023 to 2024. The award ceremony’s official name is therefore the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.
