Which two other Taylor Swift songs complete the Folklore love triangle with “august”?

Taylor Swift’s “cardigan” and “betty” complete the Folklore love triangle with “august.” The three songs present related events from different viewpoints.

“august” follows an unnamed girl who becomes involved with James during a summer when he is already connected to Betty. “cardigan” is told from Betty’s perspective, while “betty” presents James’s perspective as he reflects on what happened.

Swift designed the songs as fictional narratives rather than direct autobiographical accounts. The interconnected characters helped establish Folklore’s emphasis on imagined lives, memories, and stories that could belong to people the singer invented.

Fans sometimes call the unnamed narrator “August,” “Augusta,” or “Augustine,” but Swift did not give her a definitive name in the song. The titles “cardigan,” “august,” and “betty” identify the three tracks, not three official character names for the narrator.
