Taylor Swift performed a medley of songs from her surprise albums FolkloreandEvermore at the 2021 Grammy Awards. Swift is up for six awards at this year’s ceremony, including Album of the Year.
Alongside her album collaborators Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff, Swift performed two tracks from Folklore — “Cardigan” and “August” — plus her Evermore lead single “Willow.” Swift began by singing “Cardigan” on the roof of a mossy cabin, surrounded by trees and a nighttime background. She then joined Dessner and Antonoff inside the cabin, where they performed “August,” before stepping out together to finish off with “Willow.”
Along with a nomination for Album of the Year,Folklore is also up for Best Pop Vocal Album. The LP’s lead single “Cardigan” is up for Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance, while Swift’s Bon Iver duet “Exile” is recognized in Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
