Grace Abrams is definitely an Arianator. In a clip from her recent interview with BBC Radio 1 posted Wednesday (July 22), the singer/songwriter praised Ariana Grande up and down for her artistry and devotion to fans.
Calling the pop powerhouse an “unmatched voice and presence,” Abrams said, “I do think her connection with her fanbase … it’s remained so intimate despite the fact that she’s the biggest star.”
“I’m really in awe that despite the scale she’s at, there is still such a close attention to detail and wanting to give her fans the best possible version of the show,” she continued, calling herself a “big fan and deep admirer” of Grande’s.
In June, Abrams showed her love for the Wicked actress by covering “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love),” which is one of Grande’s 10 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits, at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge.
Grande is currently on her Eternal Sunshine Tour, her first proper trek in about seven years. At the end of the month, she’ll release her eighth studio album, Petal, which was led by single “Hate That I Made You Love Me.”
Abrams, meanwhile, is fresh off the release of her own new album, Daughter From Hell — two bonus tracks from which, “Out of Nowhere” and “Love Letter,” she dropped Sunday. In December, she’ll launch her Look at My Life Tour in support of the project, kicking off Dec. 2 in Denver and spanning dates in North America and Europe.
