US pop star Gracie Abrams arrives in Sydney incognito

One of Taylor Swift’s closest pals and now a star in her own right has been spotted jetting into Sydney as she prepares for sell out shows.

Gracie Abrams has been spotted jetting into Sydney ahead of performing on her sellout Australian tour.

The American singer, daughter of director JJ Abrams and one of Taylor Swift’s besties, landed at Sydney Airport ahead of her string of highly anticipated The Secret of Us Tour shows.

Abrams appeared keen on keeping a low profile under a baseball cap and face mask, and there was no sign of her actor boyfriend Paul Mescal to be seen.

Abrams was jetting in from New Zealand where she performed to a sellout crowd in Auckland.

She surprised the audience with a performance of one of their biggest music exports, Lorde, singing her hit song, Liability.

In clips shared by fans on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, the hit maker named the heartbreaking track “one of my favourite songs ever.”

Opening up about her reasoning for singing the ballad, taken from Lorde’s album Melodrama, Abrams told the crowd: “Obviously, being here, and also because she finally returned to save pop music again.”

Earlier this year, Abrams opened up about her friendship with Lorde sharing that the Kiwi star is an old soul.

“She’s like 800 years old inside … whenever we’re together, I feel my nervous system regulate differently,” she told Billboard.

Abrams is currently in the midst of her first-ever arena tour, and after visiting numerous cities including being one of the rare US stars to visit Perth, she’ll be heading to Europe to finish up the latest leg.

She’ll then return to North America for the second leg of her US tour.

The Secret of Us, Abrams’ second studio album, was released on June 21, 2024, via Interscope Records. It was mostly produced by Abrams and American musician Aaron Dessner, with whom she first collaborated on her debut studio album, Good Riddance.
