Taylor Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour ended in December last year after the singer hosted 149 shows across six continents. During the tour, Gracie Abrams opened for 48 shows, including the final night in Vancouver, Canada.

She first opened for Taylor Swift in January 2023 in Arlington, Texas, where Swift dedicated Clean, one of her tracks, to Abrams. During another show in Cincinnati, Abrams and Swift performed Abrams' song I miss you, I'm sorry together during the acoustic set, as Abrams' opening set was cut short due to rain.

Taylor Swift also co-wrote and made an appearance on Abrams' album The Secret of Us, released in June 2024. The pop star featured in the track Us. The two singers have shared a great partnership, with Abrams often crediting Swift for her influence and support.

Speaking about the end of the Eras Tour, Abrams addressed the crowd during the penultimate show. She said:

"I really don't know how we're supposed to have the words to talk about this tour ending - that isn't just a tour - but it's in my mind it's the glue that has kept us all together over the past couple years. It's been the privilege of my lifetime to be in Taylor's orbit, to be in your orbit."

Taylor Swift and Gracie Abrams also bagged a Grammy nomination together in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category for their work on Us. They performed their collaboration track twice during the Eras Tour—once at Wembley Stadium in London and again at the Rogers Center in Toronto.

In an interview with Today, Abrams shared her experience performing at Wembley, a show well-known for an appearance by Taylor Swift's now-boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

"The whole thing was such a good time, honestly. It's hard to describe the magic of the "Eras Tour," to be honest, and it never gets old for two seconds. This particular show was really special because there was just so many friends and family there to support her. And the tent was a great time," Abrams said.

She also spoke about her family's presence and continued:

"My little brother and my mom came, and Auggie, my little brother, spent a lot of time with Travis and his friends and I think had really truly had time of his life."

Swifties (fans of Swift) often lovingly refer to Gracie Abrams as a "taydaughter"—a term used for young singers or pop stars who are seemingly inspired by Taylor Swift.
