“I wanted to sing a song for you that I’ll forever wish I wrote, if you’ve got 10 minutes,” she told the crowd
Gracie Abrams took a moment from her show to play a song that isn’t hers, but that her fans definitely know: “All Too Well (10 Minute Version).” During her show at the Kia Forum on Thursday, the musician played the Taylor Swift favorite.
“It just is not lost on me that the reason that a lot of us know each other is because I got to meet many of you through doing the Eras Tour with Taylor,” Abrams told the crowd. “I just feel like I’m forever missing what that experience was. I know we all feel that way … I wanted to sing a song for you that I’ll forever wish I wrote, if you’ve got 10 minutes.”
Before performing, she shared that she and Swift had talked “earlier today,” so it seemed fitting for her to play a song by her friend. Abrams was one of the many openers of Swift’s Eras Tour in 2023 and 2024, and even joined Swift onstage during her part of the show several times.
During one night in London, Swift and Abrams sang “Us” together, in Toronto, they did a mash-up of “Us” and “Out of the Woods,” and during one of the final nights in Vancouver, the pair performed “I Love You, I’m Sorry” and “Last Kiss.”
When she was nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys last year, Abrams spoke to Rolling Stone about the most significant milestone moments of the year, and spoke of joining Swift on the road, saying she gained experience “from watching Taylor’s show as many times as I have and just kind of being in close proximity to her, learning from her as a musician and as a friend and as a business person.”

Swift and Abrams dueted on “Us” on Abrams’ The Secret of Us album. “I am currently smiling and sweating thinking about it, and I’ll never get over the shock of seeing this one on the tracklist. You know how I feel,” Abrams wrote on X when she dropped the song.
Abrams is nearing the end of her The Secret of Us Deluxe tour with shows at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Mexico City’s Pepsi Center WTC still left before the end of August.
