In Taylor Swift’s Folklore love triangle, which two songs accompany “august”?
Answer
“Cardigan” and “Betty”
Taylor Swift’s Folklore love triangle links “august” with “Cardigan” and “Betty.”
The three songs present different perspectives on a fictional relationship involving Betty, James, and the unnamed girl who spends the summer with James. “Cardigan” is associated with Betty, “Betty” with James, and “august” with the girl caught in the middle.
Swift created the storyline as part of Folklore’s broader fictional world. The narrator of “august” hopes a temporary summer romance might become something lasting, but James ultimately returns to Betty. The song therefore focuses on longing, uncertainty, and a relationship that was never fully hers.
The songs are sometimes grouped with other Folklore tracks because the album has recurring imagery and characters. However, the specific love-triangle trilogy is “Cardigan,” “august,” and “Betty,” not a general set of all songs about romance on the album.
