How is Taylor Swift’s song “august” stylized in its official title?

Taylor Swift’s song is officially stylized in lowercase as “august.” The unusual styling matches the lowercase titles used for several songs on Folklore, including “cardigan,” “the 1,” and “this is me trying.”

Swift’s lowercase presentation became part of Folklore’s visual identity. The album’s muted artwork, handwritten-style typography, and stripped-back imagery supported its themes of memory, distance, and imagined stories.

The lowercase title does not change the word’s meaning or pronunciation. It distinguishes the official presentation from ordinary references to the calendar month, which is conventionally capitalized in English.

Readers sometimes write “August” when discussing the song, and that is understandable in normal prose. However, trivia questions about the official title generally expect “august,” because the lowercase form is the song’s documented styling. The same convention appears in streaming listings, credits, and the album track list.
