Which Disney+ documentary features Taylor Swift discussing the character behind “august”?

Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions features Taylor Swift discussing the character behind “august.” In the documentary, Swift explains that she privately imagined the unnamed narrator as “Augustine” or “Augusta.”

The film presents Swift, Aaron Dessner, and Jack Antonoff performing and discussing the songs from Folklore at Long Pond Studio. It gives context for the album’s fictional narratives, production choices, and emotional themes, including the connected stories of “cardigan,” “august,” and “betty.”

The documentary is sometimes confused with Miss Americana, which is a broader career and personal documentary, or with City of Lover, which documents a concert event. Neither is the film in which Swift explains her imagined name for the “august” narrator.

Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions was released in 2020 through Disney+. Its intimate format helped listeners understand that the love triangle was a constructed story rather than a literal account of Swift’s own life.
