At which annual event did Taylor Swift perform “august” in 2021?

Taylor Swift performed “august” at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2021.

She performed the song as part of a Folklore-era medley with Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner. The performance placed “august” alongside other songs from the album and emphasized the record’s woodland, storybook atmosphere.

The 63rd Grammy Awards took place in March 2021, several months after Folklore’s release. Folklore won Album of the Year at that ceremony, making Swift the first woman to win the award three times at that point in her career.

The Grammy performance is separate from the annual August social-media trend. Fans revive “august” each year because of its title, late-summer story, and recurring popularity around the month. Swift later performed the song during the Folklore section of the Eras Tour in 2023 and 2024.
