<p id=”par-1_59″>Taylor Swift and Gracie Abrams grew close while working together <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/taylor-swift-eras-tour-features-rotation-unique-opening-acts.html/”>on the Eras Tour</a> and collaborating on the song “Us.” Swift and Abrams once also navigated a potentially dangerous situation together. After a night of dinner and drinks, the two singers spent the night at <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/taylor-swifts-81-million-real-estate-portfolio-proves-shes-a-smart-investor.html/”>Swift’s Tribeca penthouse</a>. In the morning, they discovered a fire burning in the kitchen.</p>

<p id=”par-2_39″>Despite their 10-year age difference, Abrams and Swift became friends after the former was an opener on the Eras Tour. They once got dinner and lots of drinks <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/every-friend-taylor-swift-was-spotted-with-during-her-trip-to-new-york-city.html/”>in New York</a>. Afterward, they went to Swift’s expansive Tribeca penthouse. </p>
<p id=”par-3_54″>At some point in the night, Swift and Abrams heard a loud thunk. Swift said it was likely <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/guide-taylor-swifts-3-cats-meredith-grey-olivia-benson-benjamin-button.html/”>one of her cats</a> playing around, and they ignored it. Around 6 a.m., though, they learned that they’d heard a candle falling over. Despite the early hour and late night before it, Swift jumped into action.</p>

<p id=”par-4_38″>“She was such a legend – I don’t know how at this hour or in our state she knew what to do,” Abrams told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/gracie-abrams-taylor-swift-us-collab-new-album-1235711614/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Billboard</a>. “We both had an insane cough from the fire extinguisher fumes for weeks.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_24″>Though the kitchen’s center island was ablaze, Abrams admitted she wasn’t much help. As Swift put out the fire, she filmed it all, laughing.</p>

<p id=”par-6_42″>Swift’s penthouse is only one part of her sprawling Tribeca property. Per <a href=”https://pagesix.com/2023/11/14/entertainment/inside-taylor-swifts-50-million-nyc-compound/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Page Six</a>, the singer bought a 7-bedroom townhouse from director Peter Jackson in 2014. She then bought three penthouse units in the building next door for around $10 million each.</p>

<p id=”par-8_11″>Before Abrams met Swift, she was a fan of her music.</p>
<p id=”par-9_46″>“When I met [Swift], it kind of felt like we had known each other already, which I’m sure there was an element of just like the parasocial relationship thing,” she told <a href=”https://www.thetimes.com/culture/music/article/gracie-abrams-interview-taylor-swift-us-song-album-q67mrvm7c” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Sunday Times</a><em>.</em> “I’ve grown up with her voice in my headphones my entire life.” </p>
<p id=”par-10_23″>As a result, it felt like the experience of a lifetime when she was able to open for Swift on the Eras Tour.</p>
<p id=”par-11_24″>“Being a part of that tour in a tiny way has changed the course of my life in so many ways,” she told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://people.com/gracie-abrams-opening-up-taylor-swift-changed-her-life-8558928″ rel=”noreferrer noopener”>People</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-12_19″>She said she learned a lot about how to have a music career and now <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/taylor-swift-felt-isolated-pop-artists-moved-country-music.html/”>considers Swift a mentor</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-13_56″>“She’s just the most unbelievable performer and the most generous friend and the fact that she…took a chance on me is, I think, why I get to be in this room tonight,” Abrams said. “It’s not lost on me that her belief in me has really just…done a lot. So, I’m deeply grateful to her, forever.”</p>
