Which Grammy Awards performance included Taylor Swift singing “august” in a medley?

Taylor Swift performed “august” in a medley at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.

The performance took place on March 14, 2021, and combined “cardigan,” “august,” and “willow.” The first two songs came from Folklore, while “willow” came from Swift’s sister album, Evermore.

Swift performed with Folklore producers Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner. The staging used a cottage setting that matched the album’s rustic, cottagecore-inspired visual world. Swift began with “cardigan,” moved into “august” while playing guitar inside the cottage, and finished outside with “willow.”

The performance is sometimes remembered simply as a Folklore medley, but “willow” is technically from Evermore. The awards ceremony also marked the first time Swift, Antonoff, and Dessner performed together.
