The complete tale of the bond between Taylor Swift and “Eras Tour” opener Gracie Abrams

Gracie Abrams referred to herself as a “Swiftie” prior to her friendship with Taylor Swift.

In a July 2023 cover story, Abrams told Vanity Fair, “Every significant event in my life is connected to a Taylor Swift song that helped me get through it.” “My boyfriend and I did that thing the other day where we shuffled her albums and listened to a song for a second.” “I got them all.”

Shortly before they met, Abrams received a call from an unidentified number inviting her to Swift’s birthday celebration. To avoid getting her hopes up if it wasn’t the pop singer, she called a common producer before responding to confirm that the number belonged to Swift.

After that, Swift invited Abrams to open for her on her three-hour Eras Tour, which featured songs from all of her albums.

Prior to actually becoming friends with Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams was a self-described Swiftie.
