In which 2020 documentary did Taylor Swift perform “august” with Folklore collaborators?

Taylor Swift performed “august” in the 2020 documentary Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions. The film shows Swift performing songs from Folklore with Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff.

The documentary was recorded at Long Pond Studio in Hudson Valley, New York. Swift, Dessner, and Antonoff discussed the creation of Folklore and performed the album’s songs in an intimate studio setting.

This session was important because the album had been created remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. The documentary brought the principal collaborators together in person and gave viewers acoustic and live interpretations of the material.

The film is distinct from Miss Americana, which is a 2020 documentary about Swift’s life and career, and from The Eras Tour, which is a concert film. “August” also appeared in later live performances, but Long Pond is the documentary specifically associated with the Folklore studio session.
