What is the official record label for Taylor Swift’s “august”?

Republic Records is the official record label listed for Taylor Swift’s “august.”

The song appeared on Folklore, Swift’s first album released through Republic Records after she signed with the label in 2018. Her earlier albums had been released through Big Machine Records, which is why listeners sometimes associate all of her catalog with that company.

Folklore arrived in 2020 as a surprise release, and Republic Records handled the album’s commercial release. “august” was not issued as a traditional lead single before the album; it gained prominence through streaming, fan discussion, and later live performances.

The label is distinct from the song’s collaborators. Jack Antonoff and Joe Alwyn are associated with writing and production, while Republic Records is the company credited with releasing the recording.
