Gracie Abrams<\/strong><\/a> is not denying the \u201cnepo baby\u201d label.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old singer, whose parents are filmmaker J.J. Abrams<\/strong><\/a> and Bad Robot Productions CEO Katie McGrath<\/strong>, addressed the topic during an appearance on The New York Times<\/em>\u2018 Popcast<\/em> podcast, which was published on Thursday (June 25). <\/p>\n

Gracie Abrams discusses her privilege<\/h3>\n
\n

\u201cThe nepo stuff is obviously in the discourse appropriately,\u201d Gracie<\/strong> said. \u201cI think about the privilege there, and it\u2019s like, I had a safety net, and that allowed me the ability to experiment and to concentrate, and I had the gift of time to dedicate to doing this thing I loved.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t growing up afraid financially, and that\u2019s the biggest deal,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Gracie<\/strong> also said her upbringing gave her access to a creative language and environment that shaped the way she approached her own work.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe specific household that I was born into, there is just this vocabulary that I\u2019m so lucky to grow up with,\u201d she said. \u201cSo like, when I see people pointing that out, it\u2019s like, I get it, hard-core. The jokes and things, I understand the tone of the Internet.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Gracie shares what her upcoming third album will be about<\/h3>\n

During the podcast, Gracie<\/strong> also opened up about her upcoming third album, Daughter From Hell<\/em>, which explores her relationship with her mom and their complicated dynamic during her younger years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt like the first time I was able to write a song, but really write anything other than a text apologizing to my mom for being so brutal growing up,\u201d the \u201cThat\u2019s So True\u201d singer said.<\/p>\n

Gracie<\/strong> added that she and her mom are now very close, saying, \u201cShe is like, my favorite person. We FaceTime. I call her like six times a day.\u201d<\/p>\n
