On which album did Taylor Swift release “august” in 2020?

Taylor Swift released “august” on the album Folklore.

Folklore is Swift’s eighth studio album, released by Republic Records on July 24, 2020. Unlike a conventional advance rollout, Swift announced the project shortly before release during the COVID-19 pandemic, making it a major surprise release.

“august” is one of three Folklore songs connected by a fictional teenage love triangle. The other two are “Cardigan” and “Betty,” which present related events from different characters’ viewpoints. The song’s late-summer setting helped it become especially associated with August each year.

A common mix-up is confusing Folklore with Evermore, its sister album released later in 2020. “August” belongs to Folklore, while Evermore contains songs such as “Willow” and “Champagne Problems.”
