Fans Share Confused Reaction To Gracie Abrams' Bold Claim About Taylor Swift

Social media users are sharing their confused reactions to Gracie Abrams and a shocking claim she made about Taylor Swift.

The pair teamed up during Swift's record-breaking "Eras Tour," where Abrams opened with songs of her own, including "Risk," "That's So True," and "Let It Happen."

Surely, Abrams feels grateful to Swift for allowing her to take part in her electric worldwide tour, which is likely why she shared bold claims about the Grammy winner's superstardom.

However, after hearing her comments about Taylor Swift, fans have been sharing their stunned reactions all over.

It's no secret that Swift is a pop culture icon. Her tour, which wrapped in December 2024, brought in over $2 billion in revenue after two years of star-studded performances.

The show, which visited five continents, began in March 2023 and featured Swift's entire catalog, starting with "Lover" before ending with "Midnights."

Swift also released a concert film, which, of course, shattered box offices, selling $96 million worth of tickets in its opening weekend. Later, figures confirmed the movie grossed just over $265 million, making it the highest-earning concert film of all time.

The multihyphenate later sold the rights to the film to Disney, making another $75 million from that deal, too.

All of this combined led Abrams to praise Swift, 35, for doing to the pop industry what she believed no other "man has come close" to being able to accomplish.

“People will still gaslight her and her capabilities and all this sh-t,” Abrams told Rolling Stone. “But please point me to one man who has come close to defining pop culture in this way. There is nothing! But people are not ready for that conversation.”

On Reddit, fans couldn't help but respond to Abrams' claims about Swift and her contribution to the pop music industry.

Immediately, netizens began clapping back, mentioning superstar musicians, including Michael Jackson, Elvis, and Beyoncé.

"MJ and Elvis didn't exist then, I guess?" someone asked. "Like, I know [Abrams] is young, and they were bad guys. But, come on."

Someone else also chimed in, saying age has nothing to do with Abrams and her "what the f-ck takes."

"Age is no excuse," they wrote. "Michael Jackson is quite literally the king of pop, and he did it in an era [when] phones weren't a thing."

However, they didn't stop there. The poster also mentioned Beyoncé, saying if she were "white and blonde, she'd have the same amount of awards, if not more than [Taylor Swift]. But some people don't want to have that conversation."

On the other hand, though, one user said they were "ready for the conversation" Abrams feels Hollywood should be having, but it can't be centered on "streams and numbers."

The 67th Annual Grammys, which took place in early February 2025, featured many A-list celebrities, including Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar, and Swift.

The latter's latest album, "The Tortured Poets Department," received five nominations; however, it won zero, which rubbed many Swifties the wrong way.

"Even Taylor Swift's best album, i.e., 'Reputation,' doesn't have any Grammys. So, I'm not surprised they snubbed her second best—'The Tortured Poets Department,'" one user shared on X, formerly Twitter.

Someone else clearly agreed, writing that Swift's snub was not on their "bingo card" for 2025.

Despite the losses, though, Swift was spotted at this year's ceremony living her best life in a beautiful red gown with a matching red lip and heels to go.

In addition to presenting Beyoncé with the Grammy for Best Country Album, fans were living for the "Cruel Summer" singer's reactions in the audience.

Many fans enjoyed seeing a clip of her dancing to Lamar's "Not Like Us," while others praised her for raising a glass to the Compton-born rapper for sweeping his five nominations.

In addition to her record-breaking tour and chart-topping albums, Swift's name has been on everybody's lips because of her relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce.

Since attending her first Kansas City Chiefs game in September 2023, the National Football League has clearly leaned toward focusing more on Swift during its broadcasts.

However, all of the attention and eyes that Swift brings as a person have reportedly caused the singer some concern.

As The Blast reported, Swift will attend the Super Bowl on February 9, 2025, to cheer on Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, and the Chiefs as they try to make history by earning a three-peat during this year's competition.

Although excited for the big game, the "Lavender Haze" singer "doesn't want to be the center of attention."

"She wants Travis to enjoy his Super Bowl week experience and be at 110% for Sunday, as she is dreaming about him making Super Bowl history and reaching another dream of his, winning another Super Bowl and making a three-peat," a source said.

Another famous face who will be in the Super Bowl audience on Sunday, February 9, is the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

The former reality star has previously shared strong opinions about Swift. In one social media post, he attacked the singer after she endorsed Kamala Harris during the 2024 election.

"I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT," he wrote.

Despite that, though, Kelce told reporters during the upcoming game's press conference that he was excited about playing in front of Trump.

"That's awesome. It's a great honor," the tight end said before saying he has respect for whoever sits behind the desk in the Oval Office.

"I think, you know, no matter who the president is, I know I'm excited because it's the biggest game of my life," he continued. "And having the president there, you know, it's the best country in the world. So, that'd be pretty cool."
