GRATEFUL!!! Gracie Abrams Reveals What It Was Really Like to ‘Be in the Same Orbit’ as Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour

In conversation with Sofia Coppola for ‘ELLE,’ Abrams also opened up about how she and Swift reacted to their Grammy nomination for “Us”

Gracie Abrams still can’t get over the fact that she was on the Eras Tour.

In an interview with Sofia Coppola for ELLE, the “Risk” musician, 25, discussed the thrill of being a ble to open for Taylor Swift on the road.

“To be in the same orbit as Taylor and her entire team, from her dancers, to her band, to the crew, being in the same vicinity as a group of people who are so committed to making something extraordinary happen every single night of the show, it’s a privilege to see it all go down,” Abrams told the publication.

The singer/songwriter also opened up about how she and Swift, 35, reacted to their Grammy nod for their collaboration “Us,” which was nominated for best pop duo/group performance.

Abrams recalled having “many gasps of celebration” after receiving news about her Grammy nomination while she was painting a friend’s birthday card and FaceTiming her mom.

The “Tough Love” musician also said that she and Swift had “a fun, squeal-y conversation on the phone” after finding out about their nomination.

“It’s such a crazy, full-circle thing to be nominated for a Grammy with Taylor, who I grew up idolizing. Especially all of her moments at the Grammys over the years have been so ingrained and burned in my head,” the “Blowing Smoke” artist said.

In September, Abrams spoke to Who What Wear about debuting The Secret of Us track live with Swift at Wembley Stadium in London in June.

“We wrote it the way that we played it at Wembley,” Abrams told the publication.

She added: “To see somebody have the ability to, in a stadium, make it feel like you and her are the only two people there, that was hugely important for me to see.”

Elsewhere in the conversation with ELLE, the “Close to You” performer discussed the viral success of her song “That’s So True,” a kiss-off to an ex who wronged her.

Abrams describes the widespread appreciation for it as “the cherry on top of having made something that was so fun to make.”

“That whole writing process was just a huge laugh, and I think it’s always sweet to see that what connects with people sometimes is what you had the best time making, what you felt the most alive doing,” she said.

Added Abrams: “Writing that song with [roommate and collaborator] Audrey Hobart was just a good hang. The fact that it’s made an impact more than others is a great surprise…it’s an honor that people seem to have adopted it into their own lives.”
