On which tour did Taylor Swift perform “august” as part of the Folklore set?

Taylor Swift performed “august” as part of the Folklore section of The Eras Tour.

The Eras Tour ran from 2023 to 2024 and was designed around Swift’s different musical periods. Instead of focusing on one album, its set list moved through distinct eras, with costumes and staging representing albums from her career.

During the Folklore segment, Swift performed “august” alongside other songs from the album. She wore a frilly gown that complemented Folklore’s cottagecore aesthetic, a visual style associated with rustic settings, romantic nostalgia, and pastoral imagery.

The song’s inclusion made sense both musically and seasonally. Its dreamy arrangement and fictional summer story fit the Folklore section, while its annual August resurgence had already made it a recognizable fan favorite. The performance also introduced the song to audiences who knew it mainly from streaming or social-media trends.
