Gracie Abrams has shared the heartfelt career advice Taylor Swift once gave her.
The singer-songwriter served as an opening act on the music superstar’s Eras Tour from 2023 until 2024.
During an interview for CBS Sunday Morning this week, Gracie was asked whether Taylor ever gave her any guidance on pursuing a career in the entertainment industry.
“The first thing that comes to mind when you ask that is, like, the encouragement to just never stop writing,” she remembered. “For me, any time I had a feeling where I was like, ‘I would rather just cry about this for a while.’ (Instead), just pick it up and write it down. And it serves you every time to do that.”
Now, Gracie is selling out arenas on her own accord, with the Look at My Life Tour set to kick off in Denver, Colorado in December.
And the That’s So True hitmaker insisted that she loves interacting with her fans in-person.
“It just doesn’t feel like it’s remotely about me,” the 26-year-old continued. “I love it, but it feels like even though they might be my words, they’ve adopted them and made them their own.”
Gracie is currently promoting her third studio album, Daughter from Hell.
The project includes the titular track, which she dedicated to her mother, producer Katie McGrath.
“I sent it to my mom, I was like, ‘So sorry it took me 26 years to write one that wasn’t laced with, you know, some kind of angsty anger,'” she laughed. “I’m like, ‘I want to be you now, Mom!'”
Daughter from Hell, featuring lead single Hit the Wall, is set to drop on Friday.
