The whole story of Taylor Swift and “Eras Tour” opener Gracie Abrams’ friendship

Before she became friends with Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams called herself a “Swiftie.”

“Every important event in my life is linked to a Taylor Swift song that helped me get through it,” Abrams told Vanity Fair in a July 2023 cover story. “The other day, my boyfriend and I did that thing where we shuffled her albums and played a song for one second.” “I got all of them.”

Abrams got a call from an unknown number not long before they met asking her to Swift’s birthday party. Before she replied, she called a common producer to make sure the number belonged to Swift so she wouldn’t get her hopes up if it wasn’t the pop star.

Swift then asked Abrams to be one of the opening acts on her Eras Tour, which was a three-hour show that played songs from all of her records.
