Gracie Abrams has built healthy habits thanks to Taylor Swift.

"[Taylor]’s such an unbelievable artist, friend, and mentor. She is one of the reasons why I stuck with writing daily," Abrams emphasized in a recent interview. "She makes these albums while she’s on the road. She never stops. Now I start to feel like s--- when I don’t do it. It’s like eating well, getting enough sleep, and drinking enough. Writing, for me, is something that helps my brain stay at a baseline calm that is required for me to function at the highest possible level in all the other areas."

For the young songwriter, watching her idol in the biggest moment of her career while on tour has been more than a blessing. "It’s truly unlike anything you’ll see. I watched every single one of her shows that I was lucky enough to open for, from every possible place in the stadium," Abrams gushed.

Gracie Abrams is opening for Taylor Swift on her Eras tour.

All of the "Feels Like" vocalist's efforts paid off after she was nominated for a Grammy in 2024 for her debut album, Good Riddance. "I was so not expecting it. I have to take everything with a grain of salt. But there was something that ended up feeling so much more sincere, genuine and supportive in the room that night," she said.

"I think what was so emotional for me throughout the process, [and] sitting at the table with my fellow nominees, [was that] I got to see and know them all up close, outside of what I already admired so deeply about their music. I fell in love with all of them as people. Everyone was so deserving, and I just felt lucky to sit and scream for them when their names were called out," Abrams explained.

For the brunette beauty, her fellow female musicians have given her the power and support to keep going with her creative vision. "The women in the music industry who have come before me have done so much work to pave the way, so that we can now feel comfortable to show up as ourselves," Abrams added.

"The kind of freedom and safety that I feel personally is solely because they have created space for us now. Not just to have a voice in our business, but to have a voice in our songwriting as well," she noted.
