Gracie Abrams, the young singer-songwriter whose career has skyrocketed after a spot on the Eras Tour and a viral TikTok hit, grapples with the whirlwind of fame. She reflects on the rapid evolution of her career, her songwriting process, and the impact of her music on her fans.
A spot on the Eras Tour and an angsty, TikTok-dominating single flung her career into overdrive. She’s still trying to catch up.
“Every time I’ve opened for Taylor, I watch and learn. I learned from her every time we have a conversation about the weather, even.” “It’s funny to see what one song can do for engagement. In your head, you’re like, ‘Of course.’ But it’s crazy when you get to see that week-by-week in a stadium,” she says. “It was really wild. It felt different, for sure. There is something really psychotic about being able to hear voices in the stadium singing sh*t back at you.
“That’s So True” went viral before it even came out: A snippet of Abrams playing the song acoustically with Hobert made the rounds on TikTok so quickly that Abrams added it to the set list of her headlining tour this fall. By the timein New York — still days away from release — 90% of the crowd knew all the words, and even reenacted the lasso dance move Hobert made in the original video.
Fans have taken note of her habit of frequently waving to members of the crowd throughout her shows, as if she invited them personally. Why does she do it? “I’m in a room with other people. They’re waving at me, and I want to say what’s up back,” she says plainly, as if to underscore that it’s not a bit — just a way of making even a big room feel a little bit smaller.Lately, she’s been thinking about the way her fan base has adjusted to an influx of new members.
