Like, what the f***?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe 26-year-old singer added that the response had reminded her why she prefers to stay off sites such as Instagram and X. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe sighed: \u201cThat was my cue to be like, \u2018Oh, remember why you don\u2019t look [at social media]?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nGracie also said that she had \u201cfar less experience sitting down to write when I was filled with security and joy and love and safety\u201d before she started dating Paul. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe added: \u201cI was like, \u2018Oh, s*** how am I going to approach this?\u2019 Or, you know, \u2018How\u2019s it going to impact the quantity of songs I write?\u2019 And it\u2019s had the most amazing effect on my writing. It has given me the most amount of space to reflect on everything in my life.\u2028\u201cIt has held a mirror to me in ways that I didn\u2019t know a relationship with another person of any kind could. It has given me all the perspective that I could have ever hoped for, on previous relationships, on my relationship with my family, on my friendships.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt is the greatest gift, period.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nGracie\u2019s Rolling Stone interview came after Paul previously opened up to the magazine about their relationship, telling the publication in September 2025: \u201cI want to protect those things fundamentally. Everything to do with that [relationship] is deeply precious to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/gracie-abrams-hits-back-rumours-paul-mescal-romance-harmed-career-1448574.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 August 2026 Gracie Abrams has slammed rumours her career has been harmed by her relationship with Paul Mescal.
