Taylor Swift’s Folklore won Album of the Year at the 63rd Grammy Awards.
The award was presented at the same ceremony where Swift performed “Cardigan,” “august,” and “Willow” in a medley. Folklore’s win made it the Grammy-recognized album at the center of that performance, while “august” itself was not the recipient of the Album of the Year award.
This distinction matters because Grammy categories use different terms. Album of the Year honors an entire album, whereas Record of the Year and Song of the Year recognize different aspects of individual recordings and songwriting.
The award also relates to the production credits for “august.” The Recording Academy recognized Joe Alwyn as a co-producer of the track after Folklore received the Album of the Year honor.
