Which 2020 film features Taylor Swift performing “august” in a cabin?

The story behind the answer

Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions features Taylor Swift performing “august” in a cabin.

The 2020 documentary film shows Swift performing Folklore songs in an intimate studio setting with Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner. It was directed by Swift and released on Disney+ on November 25, 2020. The performances were filmed at Long Pond Studio in the Hudson Valley of New York.

The film presents stripped-back versions of the album’s songs while Swift, Antonoff, and Dessner discuss their writing and recording process. “august” appears in the session alongside other Folklore material, allowing viewers to hear the song without the same studio layering as the original recording.

Miss Americana is a separate 2020 documentary about Swift’s life and career, while Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is a concert film covering a later tour. Neither is the cabin performance film associated with “august.”
