Gracie Abrams

[Apoca]

So I guess it's time for the next of Taylor Swift's support acts to break through properly - but she is a rather obvious Swift understudy unlike Sabrina Carpenter.

"Us" got a Grammy nomination, "That's So True" is everywhere right now (and #1 in the UK and #1 in the US on Spotify). It's a bit "by the numbers" - but it's stacked with hooks and the bridge gets stuck in your head.

 

[FetchFugly]

Every time I hear her I think that's a lot Taylor, and a bit Lorde.

I do quite like That's So True and Close To You is even better.

 

[Shoat]

On paper I should like this. But no.

Gracie Abrams feels too much like a cynical step back to manufactured pop; someone has taken Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Piper, and Lorde and stuck them in a blender to create an AVERAGE

 

[GNL]

Another formulaic JJ Abrams creation designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

i'm so happy she's blowing up! staying stable in Spotify's WW Top 5 after almost 2 months is insane. I Love You, I'm Sorry is also holding steady in the 30-40 range. i don’t understand why she gets so much hate. Gracie's songwriting and performance abilities are on par with, if not better than, Sabrina, Olivia, and the other Taylor Swift protégés.

there's also a reason why Taylor has called Gracie her daughter out of all the other girlies.

she's marvellous on stage.

A Taylor Swift protege? What a nightmare.

Chanel Pre-Spring 2025 : Gracie Abrams by Craig McDean





I don't know who she is or how she landed a gig this good, but they must see something in her. As much as I hated him, Karl Lagerfeld would NEVER.

 

[Pipo]

Can't get into her music at all and God knows I lap up any old shit.

 

[VoR]

She feels like a bit of a Jessica Simpson figure, but It’s So True is quite the earworm. Ready for it not to be #1 anymore though.

Can't get into her music at all and God knows I lap up any old shit.

Same here. She also just sounds like a poorer quality carbon copy of Taylor Swift. Surprised by her success.

[Pipo]

oh Gracie, they will NEVER make me like you

 

[POP!]

They played a remix of her song at the gym the other day and it kind of bopped. Otherwise, no thanks.

That moment when you, a nepobaby, come across another nepobaby, and discuss how best to maximise your joint slay.

 

[FannyFaudrey]

I quite like this new one!

 

[POP!]

Gracie would have debuted at #4 in the US and #11 Global without Drake who released three albums yesterday.

 

[VoR]

Is she in her flop era at the moment?

The new one’s straight in at #39 and the one before that is out of the top 40 after 6 weeks and a #18 peak. Quite a drop off.

 

[Jark]

idk but she is inescapable on my feed right now

Terrible album review in The Guardian: 2/5

 

[FannyFaudrey]

Another 2/5, this time from The Financial Times

4.5/5 from Rolling Stone

 

[octophone]

You seem oddly invested. Reading the music reviews in the Financial Times is a bit like reading the wine-tasting reviews in The Beano.

 

[FannyFaudrey]

Hmm, not really. They don’t get an accountant to do their music reviews!

 

[Shoat]

Although Gracie Abrams absolutely would be accountant music

Polite, forgettable, lacking in excitement or personality, anxiously watching her numbers crash

 

[K.C.]

She's a nepo baby and it REALLY shows.

 

[POP!]

 

[POP!]

The album is doing ok out of the gate for not really having a certifiable hit to lead it. I just think she’s so dull
