Which documentary features Taylor Swift discussing and performing “august” with Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff?

The documentary folklore: the long pond studio sessions features Taylor Swift discussing and performing “august” with Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff.

The film documents an intimate studio session at Long Pond Studio in Hudson Valley, New York. Swift, Dessner, and Antonoff perform songs from folklore and discuss how the album was written and recorded remotely during the early months of the pandemic.

The “august” discussion helps clarify the song’s role in the fictional love triangle. Swift explains that the song is told from the viewpoint of the unnamed other girl in the relationship involving Betty and James; fans commonly refer to that character as Augustine.

The documentary premiered on Disney+ on November 25, 2020, and was accompanied by a live album. It is different from Miss Americana, which focuses more broadly on Swift’s life, career, and public relationship with fame.
