Gracie Abrams calls Taylor a 'forever genius' and brings up Olivia in emotional tour speech
Gracie Abrams kicked off the final North American leg of her The Secret of Us tour with a deeply personal moment that left fans buzzing. During her show at TD Garden in Boston, the 25-year-old singer paused her set to read a page from her journal, a tribute to the journey she's had and the women who inspired her. "Between touring and my last few EPs and albums, the amazing festivals and opening for the brilliant Olivia and for our forever genius Taylor, it has been a very wild and lucky four years on the road," Abrams read aloud, her voice cracking slightly as fans erupted into cheers. "We are in the home stretch now and I just want to pause for a moment to let you know that we could not be happier or more grateful to be here with all of you tonight." Abrams' connection to both Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift runs deep. She opened for Rodrigo on her SOUR tour back in 2022 and later joined Swift for several shows on the Eras Tour, performing to massive stadium crowds. Those opportunities, paired with her own relentless touring schedule, have shaped her into one of the most emotionally resonant voices in pop today. Her current tour supports her sophomore album, The Secret of Us, which features the Grammy-nominated collaboration us with Taylor Swift. Before this leg, she toured Europe, making up for postponed shows and performing at major festivals across June and July. Now, as she prepares to wrap up her time on the road, Abrams' tribute to Swift and Rodrigo served as a touching reminder of how far she's come and how those who came before her continue to influence the music she makes.
