Taylor Swift performed “willow” with “august” and “cardigan” in a 2021 Grammy medley.
The performance took place at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards on March 14, 2021. Swift began with “cardigan,” moved into “august,” and finished with “willow.” The first two songs came from Folklore, while “willow” came from Evermore, the surprise album Swift released later in 2020.
Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner accompanied Swift, making the appearance notable as the first time the three performed together. The staging used a cottage-like setting that echoed Folklore’s rustic, storybook atmosphere.
A common mix-up is choosing “betty,” because it belongs to the same Folklore love-triangle storyline as “august.” However, “betty” was not the third song in this Grammy medley; “willow” was.
