How is Taylor Swift’s song title officially stylized on Folklore?

Taylor Swift’s song title is officially stylized as lowercase “august” on Folklore.

The lowercase presentation matches the understated visual identity of Folklore, whose song titles include similarly minimalist styling. The title refers to the month of August, but the official track listing treats it as a lowercase song title rather than using standard month capitalization.

This formatting detail is separate from ordinary English grammar. August is normally capitalized when it names the month, while the song’s artistic title is intentionally rendered in lowercase. Fans and publications sometimes capitalize it in prose for readability, but the album’s official styling is lowercase.

The title’s seasonal meaning helped inspire the annual August listening trend. That trend does not change the song’s official name or capitalization; it simply reflects the way listeners revisit the track during its namesake month.
