Gracie Abrams, a 25-year-old artist, is opening up about the final night of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. This moment holds a special place in her heart as she vividly describes the emotional atmosphere backstage. "Everyone had been crying all day. It felt like the last day of school," she said in an interview with Nylon. The pair of pop stars, along with the crew, became close during their global journey together.

Emotional Farewell and Gratitude

Abrams continues to express her emotions and gratitude as the era comes to an end. "I'm feeling emotional and grateful and in a state of shock that we don't get to experience that source of light anymore," she shared. She also emphasized the importance of learning from one of the best in the business. "I was just soaking up every moment of her show. I've basically been studying it for a year-and-a-half. Every time I've opened for her, I watch and learn. I learned from her every time we have a conversation about the weather," she told the magazine.

Career Growth and Fan Engagement

Touring with Swift has been a game-changer for Abrams. Her career shot to new heights, from the start of the tour with her debut album "Good Riddance" to the recent release of "That's So True" and rejoining the tour. "It's funny to see what one song can do for engagement. In your head, you're like, 'Of course.' But it's crazy when you get to see that week-by-week in a stadium," she said. The experience of hearing voices singing back at her in the stadium is a surreal one.

Surprise Mashup and Future Plans

Towards the end of the Eras Tour, Swift brought Abrams out to perform a surprise mashup of her 1989 track "Out of the Woods" and their collaboration "Us" at Toronto's Rogers Centre. This was a memorable moment for both artists. Abrams will now take all that she learned on the North American leg of her own tour, which is set to begin in 2025. She is ready to continue her musical journey with newfound insights and experiences.
