It&#8217;s a respite from a life where she&#8217;s very much front-and-center.<\/p>\n<p>At 26, Abrams is a reigning queen of so-called whisper pop \u2013 her witty, intimate style praised by critics and millions of fans around the world. She&#8217;s graced the top of Billboard charts, Chanel ads, and the most recent cover of Vogue.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Backstage on tour last summer, she told us she still seemed stunned by it all: &#8220;I&#8217;m constantly pinching myself,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And I don&#8217;t know at what point you could get to where you&#8217;re not doing that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-large\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/07\/10\/eb3513da-8289-4092-9404-919475665b69\/thumbnail\/620x349\/2f1628d804fa288c160042c788ba5a0f\/gracie-abrams-with-tracy-smith.jpg#\" alt=\"gracie-abrams-with-tracy-smith.jpg \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/07\/10\/eb3513da-8289-4092-9404-919475665b69\/thumbnail\/620x349\/2f1628d804fa288c160042c788ba5a0f\/gracie-abrams-with-tracy-smith.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/07\/10\/eb3513da-8289-4092-9404-919475665b69\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/4715c9327ff2df2b2bb6617cba6bc9e2\/gracie-abrams-with-tracy-smith.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Correspondent Tracy Smith with singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                CBS News<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Being center-stage didn&#8217;t come naturally to Abrams. Born and raised in Los Angeles, she always had a passion for songwriting, but not necessarily performing. She says she felt fear from the idea of sharing her songs: &#8220;Like, just really physical fear \u2026 in the pit of your stomach. I felt that when I would hear footsteps coming down the hall, and I would stop playing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She eventually got up the nerve to post a few songs online, such as &#8220;Minor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-youtube-video embed--float-none embed--size-large embed--type-video\">\n<p>\n    <iframe class=\"embed__content\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/AiLdDkst1VA?autoplay=0&amp;rel=1&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbsnews.com&amp;playsinline=1\" height=\"113\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" title=\"gracie abrams - minor\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n  <\/p><figcaption>\n    <span class=\"embed__caption\"><br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/AiLdDkst1VA\" rel=\"noopener\">gracie abrams &#8211; minor<\/a><\/cite> by<br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@GracieAbrams\" rel=\"noopener\">Gracie Abrams<\/a><\/cite> on<br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n    <\/span><br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what my goal was,&#8221; Abrams said. &#8220;I think it was probably that na\u00efve kind of concept of the internet that it&#8217;s not real \u2013 you know what I mean? I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Okay.&#8217; It was easier to hide behind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The gamble paid off. By 2019 Abrams had her first record deal. And thanks in part to COVID, she did her first tour on Zoom from her bedroom. &#8220;It was such a gift, because I was vomiting at the thought of performing!&#8221; she laughed. &#8220;And then I got to do it in the comfort of my own space. And it felt like this baby step.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That baby step turned into a running leap onto the world&#8217;s largest stages. By 2022, Abrams was opening for some of the brightest stars in music: Olivia Rodrigo, and then Taylor Swift. Stepping out onto stage on Swift&#8217;s Eras Tour, Abrams said, &#8220;felt like being in some kind of, like, alternate universe. It was just the best thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-large\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/07\/11\/fb75fdc5-985f-45e2-b538-320e4c7a35f5\/thumbnail\/620x349\/b7717d825e2a75defc8833d11cda40af\/taylro-swift-and-gracie-abrams-getty-2158916445.jpg#\" alt=\"Night Three Of Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour - London, UK \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/07\/11\/fb75fdc5-985f-45e2-b538-320e4c7a35f5\/thumbnail\/620x349\/b7717d825e2a75defc8833d11cda40af\/taylro-swift-and-gracie-abrams-getty-2158916445.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/07\/11\/fb75fdc5-985f-45e2-b538-320e4c7a35f5\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/56463194e3d035ec08e035f7b5afbe98\/taylro-swift-and-gracie-abrams-getty-2158916445.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Taylor Swift and Gracie Abrams perform on stage during &#8220;Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour,&#8221; at Wembley Stadium, June 23, 2024 in London.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Gareth Cattermole\/TAS24 via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Asked what advice she took from Swift, Abrams said, &#8220;The first thing that comes to mind when you ask that is, like, the encouragement to just never stop writing. For me, any time I had a feeling where I was like, &#8216;I would rather just cry about this for a while,&#8217; [instead], just pick it up and write it down. And it serves you every time to do that.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And now, Abrams is selling out arenas on her own \u2013 with audiences singing her words back to her. &#8220;It just doesn&#8217;t feel like it&#8217;s remotely about me,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I love it, but it feels like even though they might be my words, they&#8217;ve adopted them and made them their own.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Still, Abrams has had to deal with accusations of nepotism. Her mom, Katie McGrath, is an entertainment executive, and dad J.J. Abrams created hit TV shows and directed a couple of &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; films. Being blessed with successful parents means she has also heard the term &#8220;nepo baby.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My parents have both worked in the entertainment industry since before I was born,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And I think there is no question there are a million visible and invisible ways in which I have benefited as a result of my proximity. I am the luckiest person in the world to have grown up learning from the two of them in all of the ways. It&#8217;s been everything, of course.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-large\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/07\/11\/b775febf-daae-450e-9740-2e4af447fc54\/thumbnail\/620x349\/8ade0587eda3a91a2e9478d76f90b919\/gracie-abrams-int-c-1920.jpg#\" alt=\"gracie-abrams-int-c-1920.jpg \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/07\/11\/b775febf-daae-450e-9740-2e4af447fc54\/thumbnail\/620x349\/8ade0587eda3a91a2e9478d76f90b919\/gracie-abrams-int-c-1920.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/07\/11\/b775febf-daae-450e-9740-2e4af447fc54\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/d0648388ca78bb13c3a59c77fd20e798\/gracie-abrams-int-c-1920.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                CBS News<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In fact, instead of avoiding talking about her parents, Abrams has leaned in.
