Taylor Swift performs all 17 Folklore tracks in Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions.
The documentary presents the album in sequence, with Swift, Jack Antonoff, and Aaron Dessner discussing the songs between stripped-down performances. “August” is therefore part of a complete album presentation rather than a brief appearance within a larger unrelated concert.
The number can be confusing because the standard edition of Folklore contains 16 tracks, while the documentary’s performance count is 17. The additional track is “The Lakes,” which appeared on the deluxe edition and was included in the Long Pond performances.
The film was recorded in September 2020 at Long Pond Studio in the Hudson Valley. It captured the first time Swift, Dessner, and Antonoff assembled in the same room after creating much of the album remotely during the pandemic. The resulting film combines concert performance with discussion of the album’s fictional characters, production choices, and writing process.
