Gracie Abrams BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
In the past few days Gracie Abrams has quietly solidified her status as one of her generation’s most significant musical talents and public figures. While fans expected to see her walk the 2025 MTV VMAs red carpet—especially since her song I Love You Im Sorry was up for Song of the Year—she was notably absent from the event in Elmont New York. According to AOL this was surprising given her meteoric year that took her from sold-out arenas to a headlining set at Glastonbury but the award ultimately went to Rosé and Bruno Mars for APT. Insiders speculate her no-show stems from a much-needed break after closing out her high-profile Secrets of Us Tour in late August following an intense year of touring in North America and Europe. Those close to Abrams say she’s been intentional about balancing spotlight moments with privacy particularly while navigating her relationship with actor Paul Mescal, who himself was at the Toronto Film Festival for his movie Hamnet during the same weekend.
Social media lit up earlier this week after Gracie Abrams shared personal moments from Glastonbury, including a cozy photo with Mescal, crowd shots featuring her family, and a whirlwind scene of her belting out The Cure’s Friday Im in Love atop Mescal’s shoulders—an image that quickly went viral. Abrams also shared a tender group shot with Mescal as well as an onstage cameo with Lorde and an impromptu dance among the crowd that featured her filmmaker father J.J. Abrams and brother August, bringing fans a glimpse inside both her musical and personal life. Her Glastonbury debut was a triumphant milestone; she performed tracks like I Love You Im Sorry, That’s So True, and Close to You, plus a bravura cover of The Cure’s Just Like Heaven, earning glowing praise across music press and social feeds. Abrams captioned one set of photos with a simple but emotional thank-you, saying she’d never stop pinching herself that she got to play the storied festival, echoing a wider sentiment as reviews celebrated both her artistry and her authenticity.
On the industry front, Time magazine just honored Gracie Abrams as one of the TIME100 Next Rising Stars of 2025 describing her as having reached the pinnacle of her field and still on the rise. In the magazine profile, frequent collaborator Audrey Hobert hails Abrams as not just razor-sharp and creative but also the gold standard for friendship, a testament to Abrams’ growing influence in both music and culture.
In another headline-grabbing development, The Fader and Rolling Stone report Abrams has now joined more than 550 artists including Billie Eilish and Janelle Monae to relaunch the historic Committee for the First Amendment, marking her as a leading voice for free speech in the creative community. The move follows the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show and is seen as a new chapter for celebrity-led activism on constitutional rights.
Through it all, Gracie Abrams continues making headlines not only for her chart success and sold-out shows but also for her personal authenticity, boundary-pushing advocacy, and nuanced approach to public and private life. As of this week, with a top-10 single, worldwide acclaim, and activist credentials, Abrams is not just a pop star but a symbol of the new generation’s creative and social consciousness.
