The secret behind Gracie Abrams and Taylor Swift's partnership
Gracie Abrams treasures a moment captured on her camera roll: Taylor Swift in her Tribeca kitchen, heroically dousing a bonfire.
The 24-year-old singer-songwriter recalled laugh-crying as Swift, her childhood idol, tackled the fire that had started innocuously with a fallen candle earlier that night. After a long evening of dinner and drinks, the fire was finally extinguished well past 6 am.
The chaotic scene unfolded after the pair co-wrote “Us,” a standout track from Abrams’ upcoming album, 'The Secret of Us,' set for release on June 21.
Prior to the incident, they had spent the night previewing songs from Abrams’ album and Swift’s 'The Tortured Poets Department,' exchanging creative energy in an impromptu collaboration fueled by mutual admiration.
Reflecting on the spontaneous songwriting session, Abrams reminisced, “Something sparked our inspiration simultaneously, and we rushed to the piano to write the song. It was like fulfilling a childhood fantasy.”
