Gracie Abrams plans to learn from “the best” when she opens for Swift, but her own sold-out tour shows she’s no slouch in connecting with fans.
In just a few weeks, the indie-pop princess will open for Swift on the North American leg of the. A self-described Swiftie with a songwriting prowess that echoes Swift’s, Abrams couldn’t be more excited to learn from the woman she feels is the best in the business.“I don’t even remember. I just blacked out. I wouldn’t believe it at all. This couldn’t be real life. All I can think about is how insane an opportunity it is to watch her perform every night. I’m so lucky to be a part of that tour.
Typically, Abrams will perform stripped-down versions of her less popular songs, or covers of songs by other artists, and she’ll banter with the crowd, telling stories, making jokes. Taylor Swift songs often make appearances during these sound checks, “Folklore” tracks like “The 1” and “This Is Me Trying.”
“When Aaron and I work together, it feels as if things just appear out of thin air,” Abrams said. “It feels almost all at once … the choices we make production-wise really emphasize the feeling behind the lyrics.”“We hopped on FaceTime for a little bit one time … and I remember feeling so immediately comfortable on the phone. A year later he hit me up and said I should come to Long Pond . So I did and that was the first time we actually met. I stayed for a week.” The result was “Good Riddance.
“I’m just trying to keep my head down and stay quiet. Except for when I’m screaming her lyrics,” she added. “To be able to do that is such a magical thing. It’s a superpower. As much as I can, I just want to study that. I feel like I’m going back to school, honestly.”She’s mastered the art of keeping her personal life out of the press — “it all goes into my songs,” she said — and she’s long since escaped the shadow of her famous father, “Star Wars” director J.J. Abrams.
