Which three Taylor Swift songs formed the 2021 Grammy medley containing “august”?

Taylor Swift’s 2021 Grammy medley contained “cardigan,” “august,” and “willow.”

Swift opened the performance with “cardigan,” moved into “august,” and finished with “willow.” The first two songs come from Folklore, while “willow” comes from Evermore, the companion album released later in 2020.

The medley connected two sister albums through their shared acoustic, folk-influenced, and atmospheric presentation. Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner accompanied Swift, and the performance used a cottage setting that echoed the visual world associated with Folklore.

“betty” is part of the same fictional love-triangle narrative as “cardigan” and “august,” but it was not included in this Grammy medley. Likewise, “the lakes” was not performed as part of the televised sequence.
