Which Taylor Swift album features “august” as a track?

Taylor Swift’s “august” appears on the album Folklore. Swift released Folklore as her eighth studio album on July 24, 2020, through Republic Records, making the song part of a surprise album project created during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Folklore marked a change from Swift’s previous pop-focused work toward indie folk, alternative rock, and dream-pop textures. “August” sits among songs built around fictionalized characters and imagined stories rather than straightforward autobiography.

A common mix-up is confusing Folklore with Evermore, the sister album Swift released later in 2020. Although both albums share collaborators and a subdued storytelling style, “august” belongs specifically to Folklore. The album also includes “cardigan” and “betty,” which connect with “august” through the same fictional teenage love triangle.
