\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tGracie Abrams was a self-proclaimed Swiftie before she actually became friends with Taylor Swift. \u201cEvery formative memory in my life is paired with a Taylor Swift song that helped me get through,\u201d Abrams told Vanity Fair in a July 2023 profile. \u201cMy boyfriend the other day did the thing where we shuffled her discography and [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
She adds in one verse, \u201cAside from those few girls you keep around \/ How will it end? How long will you give me? \/ \u2018Til you twist the knife with a smile while you kill me? \/ And then you ask me to dance if there\u2019s someone around \/ You don\u2019t look the same when I look at you now.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Abrams has not publicly shared her lyrical inspiration, fans on social media questioned whether Swift, 36, was in fact her pal\u2019s muse. The two musicians have been close since 2022<\/span><\/a>, one year before Abrams opened for the Grammy winner\u2019s Eras Tour.<\/i><\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s a real master class to watch her do what she does,\u201d Abrams said on a 2024 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon <\/i>of going on the road with Swift. \u201cI felt like I was at college for this job. I watched every single one of her shows that I was lucky enough to open.

\u201cGracie and I have worked together for more than six years now, and you kind of grow together, and there\u2019s a lot of experience that has nothing to do with making songs,\u201d Dessner recalled to Billboard. \u201cShe\u2019s very aware of my personal life, and I\u2019m of course aware of hers \u2014 she\u2019s close with my kids, for example.\u201d<\/p>\n
