Graphic by Janet Xiong
Gracie Abrams, a pop singer-songwriter, has been the talk of the pop music industry lately. Abrams has been making music since 2019, but she seems to be making her way up to the top of the charts recently.
The tour for Abram’s album, “The Secret of Us,” has been taking off. She has been receiving an escalating amount of attention lately due to her emotional lyrics and distinguishable tone.
Most of Abrams' songs have lyrics from the heart but are paired with an upbeat and catchy tune. The song “That’s So True” is a perfect example of this, it explains Abram’s struggle to get over an ex, while the lyrics are paired with a snappy melody.
One of her most well-known songs, “I Miss You, I’m Sorry” from the album “Minor”, was released in 2020. The song is very soft-toned paired with introspective and somber lyrics about the regret of loving and losing a relationship with someone.
Another reason Abrams has been gaining so much attention recently is due to her distinctive style. Abrams wears casual yet chic clothing which makes her look effortlessly cool.
When Abrams is on stage she wears elegant maxi dresses or skirts, when she is not performing she usually wears oversized jeans and a sweater. This shows she has a very versatile yet chic style.
Abrams' new album has been very popular on TikTok. Many of the app's users are posting videos using her new music for their relatable lyrics, usually having to do with her personal experiences and raw feelings.
Most of Abrams’ songs are heartfelt and relatable to her listeners since her main fan base is generally young women. She focuses on experiences she has had in her life, which is very accessible to her like-minded listeners.
Abrams’ concerts, whether in a small venue or a larger one, are very intimate and personal to the crowd. Videos of Abram’s with her guitar and microphone have recently been going viral online.
These videos are very refreshing because they show how connected and personal the concerts are. Many artists have strayed away from using instruments and in turn, began to use intricate set design.
No matter what other artists are changing up, Gracie Abrams has a very good hold on her own style. This has been very beneficial to her brand by creating her distinct and unbreakable tone.
For a while, it seemed new pop artists were not able to get their footing in the music industry. This has been proven wrong and this rush to the much-deserved attention has also been very prominent in other artists, including Sabrina Carpenter and Tate McRae.
Abrams has recently worked on collaborations with many high-profile artists, including Taylor Swift, Role Model and Noah Kahan, this has also helped her gain a lot of attention recently.
Abrams is currently accompanying Swift on the last few shows of her “Era’s Tour”. This relationship has been a push for making Abrams a more well-known name.
Abrams’ tour will continue through May 2025 with international shows held in Spain, Australia, Germany and more.
