Gracie Abrams is an up-and-coming singer, who is from Los Angeles. She first got her start in 2019, when she released her debut single “Mean It” under interscope records. She immediately took off, and gained a large and very loyal following. Abrams now has two studio albums released, called “Good Riddance”, which she was nominated for ‘Best New Artist’ at The Grammys, and her brand new album titled “The Secret Of Us” which released June 21st, 2024. Currently, she has begun her U.S. tour, and I had the pleasure of attending her first night in Los Angeles!

Gracie’s Devoted and Dedicated Fan Base

Gracie Abrams has one of the most devoted fan bases I have ever seen. As someone who has gone to multiple of her shows, it is safe to say that her fans never fail to express their love to their favorite artist. Without fail, fans line up at the break of day. When speaking to fans in line, I discovered that they had gotten there at 3 am, 4am, and earlier to be face to face with Gracie inside of the pit, and they all had tickets to multiple shows. Some even had flown out to L.A to be able to see her! Many fan-projects were also created, one of which, was a yellow paper of her signature star, and everyone was directed to lift the star up to their phone flashlight during a specific song to light up the Greek Theatre. Other fans brought signs with thoughtful messages, flags congratulating Gracie with their names written on it, and many more! Three things very known in her fandom are stars which are on Gracie’s merch and she also has tattooed (which many fans also get her signature tattoo on themselves as well), the color yellow which almost every fan wore to the concert, and bows. Many viral social media videos have blown up when showing all the bows in the crowd at Gracie’s concert, since she used to wear one to every concert and includes many in her different merch pieces. 

The Setlist

Gracie played a variety of songs from her past EP’s, singles and albums. Her setlist includes some of her most popular songs that everyone most likely knows, such as 21, Feels Like, Close To You, I Miss You I’m Sorry and many more. Gracie also has a surprise song each tour, that she mentioned she will only play the same song twice. On the September 9th los angeles show that I attended, Gracie brought her best friend Audrey to sing the unreleased song that they wrote together called “Thats So True”, and although the song was never released, all the fans knew the song and had a blast singing the lyrics at the top of their lungs. Gracie’s more upbeat songs had the crowd smiling, cheering and jumping up and down, the energy in the room was truly so exciting.

Gracie’s Performance

Something to be noted is that Gracie Abrams never fails to connect with the audience. All throughout the show, Gracie spent devoted time with fans, smiling at them as she sang lyrics, holding their hands, taking their phones to take selfies and plenty more generous acts. In addition, Abrams had a mesmerizing stage presence in her performance. As she danced around the stage, making sure to reach every point so no fans felt left out, she always gave the audience her all.

Student Opinions

With the Greek Theatre holding a capacity of 6,000 audience members, and three shows, easily many students from Saugus High School had a great time at The Secret Of Us Tour! One of which is Cassi Grace, a senior at Saugus High School, who has been listening to Gracie since 2021 and also attended one of Gracie Abram’s concerts in Los Angeles. She mentions how she successfully managed to purchase her tickets for $95 dollars by a reseller after finding the queue for just the presale had over 20,000 people in line! When asked what her favorite song performed was, Grace says “My favorite song played was probably ‘I Should Hate you’. That is one of my favorite songs ever, and it was extra special getting to hear it live because it was on her surprise song setlist!” Grace also mentions her opinion of the opener named Role Model, who has a setlist of around 40 minutes and includes much humor and enthusiasm in his performance. “I absolutely loved the opener. Anytime I go to a concert I always make sure to be there for the opener, because it’s a great opportunity to find new music.” Cassi Grace also speaks about how she would love to see Gracie again in the future. “She is one of my favorite artists and I connect with her songs so much. Her stage presence is also amazing, her concerts are always by far some of my favorites.”  

Overall, if you haven’t gotten the opportunity to purchase tickets to The Secret Of Us Tour by Gracie Abrams, there is still time left, as her tour has only begun! Gracie is performing all the way until mid-october for her U.S tour, and her Europe goes until May 17th, 2025.
