Which two songs share Taylor Swift’s “august” love-triangle storyline?

Taylor Swift’s “Cardigan” and “Betty” share the love-triangle storyline of “august.”

The three songs portray a fictional teenage relationship from different perspectives. “Cardigan” follows Betty, “Betty” follows James, and “august” follows the girl who has a brief summer romance with James. Their connections are suggested through repeated names, memories, and events across the tracks.

Swift described the project as an exploration of teenage love, infidelity, and the way different people remember the same situation. The narrative helped distinguish Folklore from albums built mainly around autobiographical interpretation.

Listeners sometimes pair “august” with “Exile” because both songs feature prominent storytelling and collaborative production. However, “Exile” is not part of this three-song narrative. The precise connected set is “Cardigan,” “august,” and “Betty,” with the latter two titles supplying the answer here.
