Gracie Abrams Talks Working With ‘Badass Women,’ Why Online Haters Are ‘Boring As Hell’ & What She Learned About Touring From Taylor Swift
Gracie Abrams on her tour plans, new songs in the works, Taylor Swift, 'boring' haters and more in a Billboard cover story interview.
She has also been traveling basically nonstop for years, piggybacking a catalytic stint opening for Taylor Swift — her childhood hero — on The Eras Tour with her own sold-out fall run of U.S. theaters; she’ll play North American arenas this summer, including two nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden. On this March evening, she’s poised and seemingly at ease with the nonstop nature of her life lately as we talk beside a vintage-looking piano tucked inside Ella’s Lounge at the Brooklyn Paramount, where in a few hours, she and Dessner will play an acoustic charity show supporting World Central Kitchen at what is now, for her, an exceedingly rare small-venue stop. Backstage at the Paramount, where much of Abrams’ team is gathered to support her tonight, Interscope Geffen A&M (IGA) vp of pop/rock marketing Hannah Gold explains that they meet “every Tuesday without fail” to discuss how they can best pounce on opportunities, like when the star’s live Vevo performance of Secret of Us single “I Love You, I’m Sorry” started going viral in October.
