Taylor Swift’s “willow” comes from the album Evermore. She performed it alongside “cardigan” and “august” at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2021.
The pairing linked two neighboring projects in Swift’s catalog. “cardigan” and “august” are both from Folklore, while “willow” is the opening track of Evermore, a sister album released later in 2020.
The Grammy medley therefore crossed album eras without abandoning their shared atmosphere. All three songs use strong storytelling and rustic, cinematic imagery, but only two belong to Folklore. Remembering that distinction helps prevent the common mistake of placing “willow” on the same album as “august.”
