Taylor Swift performed at the Grammys for the first time in five years, bringing her “Folklore” collaborators Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner with her for the first on-stage performance they’ve done together.
She kicked off the performance with “Cardigan,” laying on a grassy ground and singing up to the audience. The camera panned out to reveal an environment very in line with “Folklore”: a dreamy forest, with Swift on the roof of a cabin. In that cabin were Antonoff and Dessner, ready to launch into “August,” with the songstress strumming on the guiter along with them. They ended with “Willow,” the opening track off her “Evermore.
In a video that was posted to the Recording Academy’s website just two days prior to the Grammys, Swift had indicated that most things about her performance were “highly confidential” but that she did want to reveal ahead of time that Dessner and Antonoff would be participating. Swift has not promoted “Folklore” or its follow-up, “Evermore,” with many television appearances. In September, she returned after a long absence to the Academy of Country Music Awards to sing a seated version of “Betty,” the most country-flavored song from “Folklore.”
