Which Grammy Awards ceremony featured Taylor Swift performing “august” live in 2021?

Taylor Swift performed “august” at the 63rd Grammy Awards in 2021.

The performance formed part of a Folklore medley with “Cardigan” and “Willow.” Swift appeared with collaborators Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, matching the creative world of the albums associated with those songs.

The 63rd ceremony took place in March 2021 and recognized music released during the eligibility period ending in 2020. Folklore was central to Swift’s presence at the event, and the performance highlighted the album’s woodland, cinematic aesthetic.

The ceremony number can be confusing because Swift has attended and performed at many Grammy ceremonies. The relevant performance was not at the 61st or 62nd ceremony: “august” was performed at the 63rd Grammy Awards, the event held in 2021.
