Taylor Swift’s 2021 Grammy medley containing “august” closed with “willow.”
The sequence began with “cardigan,” continued with “august,” and ended with “willow.” The first two songs belong to Folklore, while “willow” is the opening track and lead single from Evermore, which Swift released in December 2020.
The medley connected two closely related albums. Folklore and Evermore were both created during the pandemic period and share collaborators, restrained storytelling, and an interest in fictional or literary imagery. Presenting songs from both records made the performance a compact overview of Swift’s 2020 shift toward indie folk and alternative pop textures.
The title can be confused with songs from Evermore such as “ivy” or “champagne problems.” Those tracks were not the closing number of this Grammy performance. “willow” is the specific answer because it concluded the three-song sequence.
