Gracie Abrams Makes the World's Most Famous Arena Feel Intimate in MSG Debut
It's a Monday night and Gracie Abrams is flipping through a red leather journal filled with songs. She's in her childhood bedroom, complete with a rocketship-patterned bedspread and a copy of Lizzy McAlpine's Older on display. But she's not at home; the bedroom is a replica. Abrams is actually sitting dead-center at New York's Madison Square Garden during the first of two sold-out shows. 'This is beyond every single dream I've ever had, I can't even tell you,' Abrams tells the crowd. It's the understatement of the year. The bedroom Abrams has replicated is the same one where, as an upstart singer-songwriter five years ago, she first performed her 2020 Minor EP during pandemic-era shows she livestreamed over Zoom. With each earnest lyric and low-key performance since, Abrams gradually captured the hearts of Gen Z women around the world. By the time she released her 2023 debut album, Good Riddance, the star had already nabbed opening-act slots for Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift. More from Rolling Stone Gracie Abrams' 'The Secret of Us Deluxe' Tour: Here's How to Get Tickets to the Last Shows Role Model and Laufey Fall Out of Love in 'The Longest Goodbye' Video Role Model Hits the Two-Step in 'Sally, When the Wine Runs Out' MTV Push Live Performance 'It feels like the most ridiculous master class known to man,' Abrams told Rolling Stone before opening for Swift's Eras Tour. 'I'm going to learn so much keeping my head down and listening and watching her do what she was put here to do.' And that she did. The Eras Tour saw Abrams transform from a breathy, understated vocalist into an acoustic-guitar-wielding goddess with a slew of emotion-packed songs. Since then, the singer-songwriter released her breakout album, The Secret of Us, and its even more successful deluxe version. Last year, Abrams embarked on her largest headlining tour yet, selling out three nights at New York's Radio City Music Hall. Now, for her current tour, Abrams has leveled up to sold-out arenas. From the moment she took the stage wearing a sparkling, lime-green low-waist skirt and matching halter top, the singer couldn't hide her glee at playing MSG. She kept smirking, even as she delivered lines like 'I feel like I could die' (from 'Risk') and concurrently strummed an acoustic guitar. Abrams swapped out her acoustic guitar for an electric semi-hollowbody Gibson throughout the night, and sometimes even abandoned the instrument altogether as she paced on a raised runway behind the stage. But the main thing you have to know about a Gracie Abrams concert is there are no wardrobe changes, outsized production sets, or buttoned-up choreography. Instead, there are hundreds of bow-wearing fans willing to push the limits of their vocal chords as they scream each lyric like their life depends on it. I'm not talking about just for the set list closers, either. There was full-blown yelling for Every. Single. Song. (At one point, girls in the row behind me complained about losing their voices before Abrams could even whip out her most popular tunes.) This isn't just for the hell of it, either. From the third song into the show, '21,' it was clear these heart-torn melodies hold special connections for each fan. On '21,' fans squealed 'sorry' in unison as Abrams reached high into her register. But the singer's efforts were futile; the fans' screams were so loud, they drowned her out. Nowhere was the deep-rooted fan connection with Abrams' brutally honest catalog more apparent than on 'Let It Happen,' a Swiftian track with an explosive bridge. When it got to that point in the song, the singer urged the already-wailing fans: 'I want to hear this bridge, all right?' They obeyed her like good pupils and didn't fumble a single lyric. Fans even knew every word to the unreleased synth-pop track 'Out of Nowhere,' which Abrams debuted at her Glastonbury set just last month. In response to the roaring fans, the singer made sure to put them front and center. She walked through the crowd to two separate smaller stages on the floor, stopping to say hi to everyone she could along the way. While singing 'Tough Love,' Abrams spotted a fan's poster that read 'Write out 'Let It Happen.'' Without missing a beat, Abrams took a Sharpie and scribbled several different options for the song title. Just before launching into TSOU Deluxe track 'Cool,' Abrams asked, 'This is a safe space to say it … is anyone in a situationship of sorts?' Not only did the audience respond emphatically, they sang about love interests not calling back with a palpable anger. Beyond the cathartic sing-alongs that made the massive venue feel intimate, one of the highlights of the night was Role Model's surprise duet for 'Mess It Up.' The opening act, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, performed the deep cut to a crowd that somehow managed to raise its decibel level higher than when he took the stage earlier that night. (It was the most excited I'd ever seen a Garden crowd for an opener.) For his solo set, Pillsbury turned the charm offensive all the way up, shimmying his hips as he sang twangy love songs. The highlight, of course, was his celebrity guest for crowd-favorite 'Sally, When the Wine Runs Out,' which was none other than Natalie Portman. While Abrams' viral TikTok hits like 'That's So True' and 'Close to You' got their massive, end-of-the-night moments, they weren't even the biggest of the evening. Sure it was a treat to hear several audience members try to conjure a surprise Taylor Swift appearance with their whispers. (The superstar is featured on fan-favorite track 'Us'). Sure, the crowd jumped so hard, I swear the Garden shook as confetti rained down during the final song. But it was the moment on the tiny C stage, tucked at the very edge of the MSG floor, where Abrams shined the brightest on Monday night. As the singer delivered lyrics about reflecting on her success, video clips of fans from her past shows played on the screen. 'I feel like myself right now,' Abrams sang, and the line hit so hard, several fans had tears streaming down their faces. After all, these devoted attendees know better than anyone that the singer-songwriter has trekked through New York clubs for the past four years, growing her audience with each performance. 'Sept. 22, 2021, was the first show we ever played in New York, and it was at Mercury Lounge,' Abrams said. 'Now, because of you, we get to be here for two sold-out nights. I just want you to know that all of us were backstage pinching ourselves and each other. You've done this for us. You're the whole point, you're the reason.'

Country music star secures legal win in custody battle for daughter
Post Malone's ex-fiancée has dismissed her filing for primary custody of their daughter in California, according to Billboard. Since April, the hip-hop and country artist and his former flame Hee Sung 'Jamie' Park have been vying for custody of their 3-year-old daughter, who remains anonymous under the moniker 'DDP' in court documents, per Billboard. The music publication reports that Park had petitioned to take primary care of their daughter in Los Angeles, where she moved after last year's breakup; the case became complicated when Post Malone's lawyers filed a motion to dismiss the petition in May, flagging the fact that the case seemed like an opportunity for Park to move their daughter out of Utah, her home state. 'I do not consent to Jamie's back door attempt to change DDP's residence from Utah to California,' the artist wrote, per Billboard. 'I request that the California court admonish Jamie for her lack of candor, gamesmanship in attempting to forum shop, and her intentional action to try to mislead the court about DDP's home.' In response, Park dropped the California case this past Monday, and the ex-couple will reach final custody arrangements within the Utah court system, Billboard reports. Guests at Post Malone's ongoing 'Big Ass Stadium' tour are likely familiar with the singer's daughter via the song 'Yours,' a ballad that pictures his daughter's future. The tour came to Gillette Stadium at the end of May, and will continue through mid-September.

Jack Antonoff's New Photo Sparks Taylor Swift TS 12 Rumors
Speculations about Taylor Swift's upcoming album, TS 12, intensified after her close friend and collaborator Jack Antonoff took to X to post a cryptic image. The producer shared a studio photo with other musicians. Eagle-eyed fans noticed several details in the photo, sparking theories that Swift was present during the music session. Jack Antonoff might have dropped an Easter egg for TS 12 The anticipation for Swift's TS 12 has increased after many fans believed they spotted some Easter eggs online. Recently, fans spotted a pair of mysteriously cropped legs in Jack Antonoff's new behind-the-scenes photo on X (formerly Twitter), which sparked a frenzy. Fans theorized the renowned producer deliberately excluded the multi-Grammy artist from the photo, despite her possible presence during the recording session. The 'Daylight' singer is known for hiding Easter eggs in plain sight. Hence, it only fueled excitement as fans linked the photo to Swift's trademark secrecy. One fan commented, 'We know those are Taylor's legs.' Another fan highlighted the '12 pictures on the wall' as another possible reference to the album. Previously, reports had also claimed that Swift was filming a music video in Los Angeles. According to The U.S. Sun, the singer was spotted shooting a video on Thursday, July 24. An insider told the publication that Swift did not allow the staff to listen to the music, only the beats. The source also claimed that Swift is working on projects while taking a break after her record-breaking Eras tour concluded on December 8, 2024. The insider stated that the upcoming project will 'no doubt please fans.' Meanwhile, Swifties are speculating about potential collaborators for Swift's 12th album. Many fans hope Aaron Dessner of Big Red Machine, who previously worked on Folklore and Evermore, will reunite with the singer for another studio collaboration on TS12. One Swiftie posted on Reddit that her collaborative music with Dessner has a special place, as it 'doesn't weigh her down.' So far, Taylor Swift has not made any official announcement regarding her upcoming music projects. Her 2024 album, The Tortured Poets Department, has dominated the Billboard 200 for 17 consecutive weeks at number one. (via Billboard) Originally reported by Arpita Adhya on ComingSoon.
