    Gracie Abrams made a conscious decision to "watch and learn" from Taylor Swift throughout the Eras Tour

    The 25-year-old singer served as the opening act on Taylor's record-breaking tour, and Gracie relished the experience of learning from the chart-topping pop star


    Gracie told Nylon magazine: "I watched the live streams on shows that I wasn't at. I'm feeling emotional and grateful and in a state of shock that we don't, as a global community, get to experience that source of light anymore.

    "I was just soaking up every moment of her show, too. I've basically been studying it for a year-and-a-half. Every time I've opened for her, I watch and learn. I learned from her every time we have a conversation about the weather, even."

    Gracie also embraced the challenge of performing in front of huge crowds.

    She shared: "When I think about playing bigger rooms, I think of the Eras Tour as this endless well of information for me.

    "I felt like I was at school for this job. I used to be freaked out about the concept of not playing in a 100-cap room. It's been a minute since I felt freaked out. If anything, you get to say hi to more people in bigger rooms."

    Gracie released the track 'That's So True' towards the end of the Eras Tour, and she recalled how it changed the crowd's attitude towards her.

    She said: "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.

    "It was really wild. It felt different, for sure. There is something really psychotic about being able to hear voices in the stadium singing s*** back at you. It's like, 'What the f***?'"
