At which numbered Grammy Awards did Taylor Swift perform “august” in 2021?

Taylor Swift performed “august” at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2021. She included it in a medley with “Cardigan” and “Willow,” linking songs from Folklore and Evermore in one performance.

The performance also featured Folklore producers Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner. The three musicians performed together for the first time during the medley, which used a cottage setting that matched the album’s rustic and cottagecore visual atmosphere.

Swift began with “Cardigan,” performed “august” while playing guitar inside the cottage, and then moved outside for “Willow.” The Grammy appearance gave the song a major live showcase beyond its recurring August streaming trend. It also highlighted how “august” functions both as a standalone seasonal song and as part of Swift’s broader connected Folklore storytelling.
