Taylor Swift’s “august” is officially stylized with what capitalization?

Taylor Swift’s “august” is officially stylized in all lowercase. The presentation matches the understated, literary style used across much of Folklore, whose song titles generally appear in lowercase rather than standard title case.

The lowercase styling is part of the song’s published identity, not a transcription error. It distinguishes the track from the name of the calendar month, which is normally capitalized in English only when it begins a sentence or appears in a title.

“august” was released as part of Folklore in 2020 and later became strongly associated with the month named in its title. That seasonal connection helped the song return to public attention every August, especially through social-media posts about summer memories.

A common mix-up is to write “August” when referring to the track. In ordinary prose that is understandable, but the official song styling is lowercase “august.”
