At which 2021 ceremony did Taylor Swift perform “august” in a medley with “cardigan” and “willow”?

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

The performance took place on March 14, 2021, during the ceremony honoring music released during the preceding eligibility period. Swift performed “cardigan,” “august,” and “willow,” connecting material from folklore and evermore in a staged woodland setting. The arrangement highlighted the atmospheric, story-driven character of those songs.

The ceremony is sometimes confused with the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards or the 62nd Grammys because Swift has performed and received major recognition at many televised music events. The Grammy medley was especially significant because folklore was nominated for major awards and ultimately won Album of the Year. “august” itself was not performed as a solo televised single debut; it appeared within this three-song sequence.
