What is the name of the Disney+ documentary in which Taylor Swift discussed the “august” character?

The story behind the answer

Taylor Swift discussed the “august” character in the Disney+ documentary Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions.

The documentary was released in 2020 and features Swift performing Folklore songs with Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner at Long Pond Studio in the Hudson Valley. Between performances, the collaborators discuss the album’s writing, production, and fictional narratives.

During the discussion of the teenage love triangle, Swift explained that she privately imagined names such as Augustine or Augusta for the unnamed character in “august.” The released song itself does not identify the narrator by name, which is why fans commonly use “Augustine” as a label.

This documentary is distinct from Miss Americana, which is a broader documentary about Swift’s career and public life. The Long Pond film specifically focuses on the making and performance of Folklore.
