The Eras Tour included Taylor Swift’s live performances of “august” in 2023 and 2024.
The Eras Tour was designed as a career-spanning concert, with sets representing Swift’s different musical periods. That structure gave Folklore a place alongside her country beginnings, major pop albums, and later work. “august” was performed as part of the Folklore section rather than treated as an isolated seasonal novelty.
Swift also performed the song at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2021, before the Eras Tour began. The two appearances are easy to confuse because both were prominent performances and both occurred after Folklore’s release.
The Eras Tour ran across 2023 and 2024 and became one of the most commercially significant concert tours ever mounted. Including “august” connected a pandemic-era studio album with a large-scale live show seen by audiences around the world.
