At which awards ceremony did Taylor Swift perform “august” with “Cardigan” and “Willow”?

Taylor Swift performed “august” with “Cardigan” and “Willow” at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.

The performance took place on March 14, 2021, and presented the songs as a connected medley. Swift performed alongside Folklore producers Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, marking the first time the three appeared together in performance.

She began with “Cardigan,” performed “august” inside a cottage setting, and finished with “Willow.” The staging echoed the woodsy, cottage-centered visual world associated with the Folklore and Evermore eras.

The ceremony number is easy to confuse because Swift’s albums and related performances span several award seasons. The correct event is the 63rd Grammy Awards, held in 2021, rather than an MTV or later Grammy ceremony.
