How is Taylor Swift’s song “august” officially styled in its title?

Taylor Swift’s song “august” is officially styled in lowercase.

The title is written as “august,” rather than “August,” in the song’s official presentation. This matches a broader visual approach used across Folklore, whose track titles include forms such as “the 1,” “cardigan,” and “the last great american dynasty.” Lowercase styling became strongly associated with the album’s subdued, literary presentation.

The lowercase title does not change the month being referenced: the song is still named after August, the eighth month of the Gregorian calendar. It also should not be confused with the capitalization of the album title Folklore, which is generally presented with an initial capital in standard prose. Search results and fan discussions sometimes capitalize the song conventionally, but the canonical title remains lowercase.
