At which event did Taylor Swift perform "august" with "cardigan" and "willow"?

The story behind the answer

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 three songs as a medley. “cardigan” and “august” came from Folklore, while “willow” came from Evermore. Swift performed with Folklore collaborators Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, making it the first time the three performed together.

The staging used a woodland cottage setting that matched the pastoral and cottagecore imagery associated with Folklore. Swift began with “cardigan,” performed “august” inside the cottage with a guitar, and finished the medley with “willow.”

A common mix-up is treating the appearance as a standalone performance of “august.” It was part of a three-song medley, and the event was the 63rd Grammy ceremony, not an MTV or Brit Awards show.
