At which Grammy Awards did Taylor Swift perform “august” in a Folklore medley?

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

The performance was a Folklore-centered medley with Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner. Swift began with “Cardigan,” performed “august” while seated with a guitar inside a cottage-like set, and then moved into “Willow.”

It was the first time Swift, Antonoff, and Dessner performed together. The staging matched Folklore’s wooded, storybook atmosphere and became one of the ceremony’s most discussed performances.

The Grammy appearance is sometimes confused with the song’s later Eras Tour performances. Swift performed “august” on that tour as well, but the question refers specifically to the awards-show debut in 2021. The ceremony recognized the Folklore era, while “august” itself was not a traditional pre-release single.
