Gracie Abrams joined Taylor Swift’s star-studded squad in 2022 ahead of Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’
Gracie Abrams was a self-proclaimed Swiftie before she actually became friends with Taylor Swift.
“Every formative memory in my life is paired with a Taylor Swift song that helped me get through,” Abrams told Vanity Fair in a July 2023 profile. “My boyfriend the other day did the thing where we shuffled her discography and played a song for one second. … I got them all.”
Shortly before they met, Abrams got a call from an unknown number inviting her to Swift’s birthday party. She immediately called a mutual producer to confirm the digits belonged to Swift before replying in an effort to avoid getting her hopes up if it wasn’t the pop star.
Swift then invited Abrams to be one of the opening acts on her Eras Tour, the three-hour concert covering all of her past albums.
“[It was] the best experience of my life,” Abrams gushed of the concerts during a December 2023 interview with Variety. “To have that become a part of my weekly routine for four months straight has bled into kind of all ways of my life, not just how joyful I feel internally, but the songs that we’ve been making.”
