Taylor Swift performed “august” in the Folklore section of The Eras Tour set list. The tour ran from 2023 to 2024 and organized much of its show around Swift’s different musical eras.
During the Folklore act, Swift performed “august” alongside other songs from the album. She wore a frilly gown that complemented the record’s cottagecore aesthetic, helping turn the album’s subdued imagery into a visual stage sequence.
The song’s placement is sometimes confused with Evermore because Swift released the two albums close together and performed material from both in the show. “august,” however, is a Folklore track and belongs to that era’s segment.
