The eighth track on Taylor Swift's Folklore, often replayed every August, is “august.”
The track's position creates a neat connection between the album and its title: Folklore is Swift's eighth studio album, and “august” is its eighth track. That numerical coincidence is one reason fans often highlight the song's place in the album sequence.
Its annual August trend is driven by both the title and the story. The lyrics describe a fleeting summer relationship, so listeners frequently return to the song when the calendar reaches the month named in it.
The lowercase styling is official in the song title. It is commonly written as “august,” while the album title is styled as Folklore. The track should not be confused with Swift's separate songs “cardigan” and “betty,” which complete the connected narrative.
