Which record label released Taylor Swift’s “august” as part of folklore?

Republic Records released Taylor Swift’s “august” as part of the album folklore.

folklore was Swift’s first album released under Republic Records and her own label, Taylor Swift Productions, after her earlier albums had been issued through Big Machine Records. The change in label arrangement is one reason the album is often discussed as a new phase in her career, alongside its surprise-release strategy and different musical direction.

Big Machine is a common wrong answer because it released many of Swift’s earlier albums, including her first six studio albums. Republic Records became the relevant label for folklore and its songs. The song’s later seasonal streaming revival did not involve a separate label reissue; listeners’ recurring August activity revived interest in the original 2020 release.
