Gracie Abrams and Taylor Swifts' song is so hot they had to put out a fire

We are in full summer concert mode and one of the biggest concerts in the world will be in Canada in just a few months. We're talking Taylor Swift, but one of the most anticipated albums of the summer. It's out now and it's by her tour mate Gracie Abrams jumping in the deep and it's more fun to swim and her the risk is drowning. Her sophomore album called The Secret of Us, follows her hugely successful debut album Good Riddance. Many of the 13 tracks inspired by her recent world tour Live has influenced this whole album. I guess when I wrote Good Riddance, it was much more isolated. And even the way that I was singing it while writing, it was quiet. And then I got to have the privilege of, you know, you know, a year and a half after of touring experience in all different kinds of rooms, many stadiums with Taylor, where I feel like the space, that space alone was like, so influential. That Taylor she's talking about is her friend Taylor Swift, who is featured on the song titled Us. Gracie, revealing on social media that while they were writing the song, they had to put out a fire in Swift's apartment. What do I do about this? OK, you're going to fire extinguish it, not water. This happened. Abrams is a force of nature on her own, but says going on Swift's tour helped her grow as an artist. It's just magical, the environment at every single one of her shows, and so going from performing by myself to like, just sharing in the community that is her whole universe is such a gift. Yeah. Abrams says she's a different artist and person from her last album. There is one thing, though, that's never wavered for her, her love of fellow songwriter and Canadian Joni Mitchell. Can you just let me live vicariously through you? Because I've never met her. I never thought that would ever happen in my life. Obviously. It was like, I think I blacked out, but I just was trying to hold it together. And I brought my mom to the Grammys with me. And she's the reason that I grew up listening to Joanie. And Joanie means so much to both of us. I feel like she means so much obviously to the entire world, so it's easy to understand how scary all of a sudden when she's right there. It was, yeah, it was. It was terrifying to approach her. And she is the loveliest. Abrams will be in Toronto opening for Taylor Swift's Seven show stay at the Rogers Center in November and finishing out the Arrows Tour in Vancouver in December. For City News, I'm Lindsay Dunn.
