Gracie Abrams BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Gracie Abrams has commanded headlines this week with a convergence of tour milestones, celebrity intrigue, and viral fan moments that seem poised to be etched into her rising-star biography. After making her debut on Outside Lands’ main stage in San Francisco on August 10th, both SFGate and Elle detailed how Abrams, visibly emotional, performed before a crowd that included California Governor Gavin Newsom and Nancy Pelosi, wearing a blush-pink custom Zac Posen gown that Zac himself congratulated on Instagram. Elle highlighted this fashion moment as a blend of her understated style and San Francisco’s creative spirit, which was further amplified by a Gap-sponsored artisanal hoodie activation at the festival. Her set, described by We Write About Music as a “headliner-worthy journey,” was lauded for its emotive vocals and cinematic intimacy, with the publication openly naming her pop’s “next big thing.”
Abrams’ personal life spilled into public conversation when Paul Mescal—Oscar nominee and her boyfriend—was seen supporting her at her Red Rocks Amphitheatre show on August 11th, with K99 in Colorado calling out his presence and her ever-rising industry status. But the biggest viral flashpoint came days later: Drake, notoriously selective with public praise, posted about sharing a birthmark with Abrams on his Instagram Stories, prompting a swirling discussion on social media and pop culture corners, with HuffPost calling the moment “weird” and many fans on X reacting with unease and a dose of humor.
On the business and music front, Abrams continues to put fans at the center of her career narrative. AOL reports she debuted a brand-new song “Minibar” with her best friend and frequent collaborator Audrey Hobert at her sold-out Kia Forum shows in LA, and, in an unexpected flex of her musical roots, performed her decade-old SoundCloud cut “In Between” at the same venue. She also paid homage to her mentor by performing Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well” in its epic ten-minute form, drawing deep emotional resonance from the crowd, as described by Cover Me Songs.
Yet not all press has been celebratory. Parade notes that fans were left disappointed after purported photos of fan gifts allegedly discarded post-concert in Australia circulated online, prompting discussions about the logistics and etiquette of accepting tour gifts. While most fans and commentators agreed artists can’t keep every item, the public sharing of discarded gifts was seen as “mean spirited,” though Parade and most online voices ultimately directed frustration at whoever publicized the images—not Abrams herself.
Through all this, Gracie Abrams has stayed above the fray, refraining from public comment on controversies and continuing the final, highly anticipated run of her Secret of Us Deluxe Tour with surprise setlists and ever-growing audiences. For a week filled with headlines about her artistry, associations, and social media moments, the sum total may mark another major turning point in the tale of a singer-songwriter stepping further into the spotlight.
