How Twitter Hated Gracie Abrams Into a Career

[@victoriab637]

at this point, the best thing she can do for herself is pull a dua lipa and use all the critique as a tool to improve on her weak areas. she isn't going anywhere, might as well.

[@jamespader]

completely agree

[@craftingranger7552]

She is a great vocalist with amazing belts. Also her falsetto live for Normal Thing is gorgeous. She used to "Whisper" a lot because she didn't want to be heard...

[@Cflenoury]

Agreed

[@saku.544]

dua lipa ? the dua lipa who is flopping hard currently ?

[@mw5218]

The main thing she is missing is a unique feature to recognize her by. Taylor doen't need that anymore because she is so big now, but it used to be her guitar, her red lipsticks, the bangs. Olivia has (had) that long hair and the color purple is basically hers now within the pop industry. Her outfits always walk that fine line between girly, Y2K sparkle and grunge/ Avril Lavigne. Sabrina has finally made it and look at the change in appearance. Before the suuccess of her recent album, she always wore (very similarly to gracie), whatever is modern and now you connect her image to the 50s blowout hair + old hollywood glam looks/ sexy glitter lingerie (for shows). Chappel has the drag clothing, and most importantly, the red , curly hair.. Note that before Chappel permanently turned to the red hair, her career was a lot smaller too. People need to see you and immediately remeber that they saw you before. And gracie looks like at least 7 girls out of my university spanish course.

[@mat-nk1tk]

Who cares just listen if you like it and don't listen if you don't like it

[@mw5218]

@mat-nk1tk the comment isn't about whether or not I like her or think she 'deserves' her success. It's more about analyzing her public image for fun. If you don't think that's a fun thing to do, you can go and listen to her music and just ignore my comment, no worries. But this is a video on a Yt channel about opinions on celebrities lol

[@TheMurrmursonbottle]

This is the reality of music as a business! Music is a product, and the “image” of the musician is in a way a product as well. Products need to be marketed well and stick in the minds of consumers. Gracie at this point is just a regular girl with a lot of money, it’s hard to remember her unless it’s about people hating on her.

i mean its getting better ngl. a few years ago songs by tiktok artists with like a singular hit in them and no real identity would blow up, (ex; that golden hour song, "i know victoria's secret" song, just a ton of songs and not REAL artists in 2019/2020-2022/early2023) but now we have like, real popular artists that arent just taylor swift and harry styles who were around for decades, and olivia rodrigo i guess. chappell roan and sabrina carpenter are like, REAL superstars who have the potential to be iconic and make a lot of hits that stay relevant for years, same with olivia. 2024 pop music has put the genre/industry in WAY better shape than it was back in the day. i mean, i dont listen to much modern music or pop music so who am i to judge, but this is just what i've seen. this is also coming from my perspective as a young teenager, the past few years a lot of people around my age that i knew, their favorite artists were from the 2000s and 2010s or even earlier, and now like every girl in my school and a good amount of the other guys has some 2020s main pop girl as their favorite artist (hip hop/rap has also been awesome this year, way better stuff than a lot of the "soundcloud rap" type of music that's been popular for the past couple years. agree with your sentiment but imo its not that bad, we've had a lot more good acts than non mediocre acts this year, and i think its looking up

[@letBIGGIErest]

I think the hate is honestly understandable. She's a rich nepo-baby making mediocre pop-indie, a genre whose sonic style was defined by it's financial limits. A lot of indie singer-songwriter music sounds the way it does because they can't afford expensive producers or recording equipment. So for a rich girl to imitate that sounds just feels like rich people cosplaying as poor.

[@shocksystem8675]

@@jlo2715 Sabrina's shtick is nowhere near similar to Taylor's, though. Taylor is a confessional songwriter. They may have similar demographics, but Sabrina doesn't do what Taylor does. And Taylor can't/won't do what Sabrina is doing. Sabrina's success has been with sexy, funny, unserious, absurd songs that aren't really meant to be taken seriously. Taylor may have done songs like "Blank Space," where she pokes fun at herself/how people perceive her, but that's not exactly what Sabrina is doing either. Gracie, however, is doing exactly what Taylor does most of the time, just bad: confessional songwriting. Because Gracie is nowhere near as good as Taylor, she is not anywhere near/will never be nearly as successful as her. Olivia has proven to be as good at confessional songwriting as Taylor and has also become highly successful. Her first single broke records and went number one like everywhere, as did her album; her first tour was an arena tour, she won Grammys, etc... Olivia also has personality and is memorable not only for her incredible songwriting but for her aesthetic. She also targets the same demographic. Olivia is truly a direct threat to Taylor, which is why she and Taylor (most likely) never have anything to do with each other anymore/why she is not treated like Gracie or Sabrina.

[@awoosh13]

I think unfortunately her connections in a way hinder her artistry. Like she is by no means an untalented artist or bad artist, but right now, she is just ok, with some gems. The gems show her potential to become a great artist someday (specifically Risk, That's So True, and Close to You). I can see the seeds of potential in her becoming great, but she's a bit conflated status wise. Like, she's not on the level atm to compete with her contemporaries (Chappell, Billie, Olivia, etc) in terms of artistry. Unfortunately, due to her connections with the likes of her dad, Taylor, and Olivia, people are propping her up to be this amazing pop princess, but she's not there yet imo. I think that's where some people's frustration lies (and then it boils into overhating and diminishing her actual talents). She does resonate with young women and teens (including me!), so there definitely is an appeal there. Artistic wise, I'm not sure if she's completely at the point where her praise is currently warranted, but she's just currently an artist trying to find her footing/niche/voice. I'm sure she'll come into her own soon and can't wait to see where she goes! I do think you make an apt comparison that she kind of is trying to occupy the same lane as Olivia and Taylor but she lacks a unique essence that they have. Olivia and Taylor have such a great talent of writing and creating a personal experience with their songs. You are transported into the story they are trying to tell, and not only you can imagine it, but you can relate it back to your own life, even if the specific details in the song don't actually match up with your experience. Ofc, both women do it in their own style, but that's what draws lots of people to them. I think Gracie has a potential to do the same, but her writing is still just slightly generic/unrefined. Like I said, there is potential seen in her, but it's not realized yet.

She never really wanted to be famous, she preferred that small following, she only started putting out music for fun with simple videos Good Riddance was her first push, 5 years into her career. The audience grew, Taylor invited her as an opener because she loved her songs after Aaron probably told her about Gracie. Natural growth, yall just don't understand that music is subjective. She never really used her Dads money which is not near as much as ye claim he has, you just don't understand networths. Her first hit was written and recorded with her boyfriend and the music video was done in her room...this is her first tour in arenas...nepo baby is a strong term because she's actually talented. Also what's funny is Gracie inspired some of Olivia's early music... they were and still are friends. Taylor and Gracie also only collabed because Aaron sent an instrumental while they were hanging out. Her push is because people like her, if you don't then don't listen to her. Young girls found her music relatable, her song Friend also trended on TikTok during covid along with I Miss You, I'm Sorry.

Her most recent album sounds like she’s trying to mimic Taylor and Olivia, but she doesn’t quite understand why their music resonates with people, so while on paper her songs are also narrative, they don’t have the same transportive/emotive quality that Taylor and Olivia’s do and feel kind of empty in comparison. Listen to “That’s So True” and then listen to “All Too Well” or “drivers license”. I know people who saw Gracie open for Taylor and Olivia, and they all said the gulf between her and Taylor/Olivia was even starker in person, whereas you don’t hear people who saw Sabrina, Chappell, Phoebe, etc open for Taylor/Olivia say that. She’s really going to face an uphill battle to maintain her current level of success. I think she’d be better off returning to the sound from her earlier stuff than sticking with Dessner. As much as I like him and his production, I think it only highlights Gracie’s weaknesses (her voice, empty lyrics, etc) rather than her strengths (which I think could be songs more in the vein of “21”, or even “Close To You”).

Not “deja vu” in the outro 🫢

[@Linos.leebit]

She has nothing special about her, no great voice, no outstanding writing skills, no star power. Just boring.

[@cherryblossommoon.]

maybe go listen to good riddance before saying this hope this helps!

[@Linos.leebit]

@ she’s boring to me. Hope this helps!

0:16 Sour Tour, not Guts Tour

[@Ana-yh8ek]

I'm sorry, but I love her songs and I'm not afraid to say it lol

[@DinDin-nb1dg]

Good songs from her 1. i know it won't work 2. best 3. let it happen 4. that's so true 5. i miss u i m sorry 6. friends 7. minor 8. free now 9. i love u i m sorry 10. block me out 11. difficult 12. where do we go now? 13. i know it i know u 14. unsteady 15. feels like and one thing special from her, her voice on live is better than olivia, sabrina, even taylor swift she have unique vocal

[@lauramessy]

She can’t be better than Sabrina, Sabrina is Ariana’s daughter

[@Awatchamacallit]

Stop trying to make fetch happen, Gretchen

[@RonyChatter]

voice is better than taylor? ask her to the don't blame me high note. voice better than olivia? ask her to sing all american b*tch or obsessed.. voice better than sabrina? ask her to sing any song from Short N Sweet. She will fumble it up so bad i guarantee.

[@timeladyana9872]

i like two of her songs and even that i think it's a lot considering all of her songs sound the same delivery wise and lyrics wise (and i do not enjoy her writing). she's very obviously a case of being at the right place at the right time with the right people, she brings nothing new nor is she and interesting musician by any means. the tswift co-sign to me just feels like a good business partnership for both of them and i'm fine with that, taylor wants to branch into acting and gracie's dad has connections, gracie wants a singing career, taylor has the influence. it's obvious and it's just how networking and business works.

[@cherryblossommoon.]

maybe go listen to good riddance before saying this hope this helps!

[@ElenaDolls]

Idc you can’t change my mind to say that this girl is mid af 👋😭

[@justjoannak]

Shocked to be this early! I only don't like Gracie bc of what she said about Finn Wolfhard years ago. Some of her music is fine but most of it feels like background/Tik Tok music and she absolutely needs more vocal training

[@hillarymirindi5718]

What are your thoughts on tyla? Could you make a video about her?

[@iliandietcoke]

she's just there, indifference is all I can think she invoques, nothingness, not even hate or disdain

[@Finn-bw4om]

im in high school and i literally hear people sing her songs in the halls all the time. she has plenty of character and her song writing is very interesting. She just resonates with younger generations more not stan twitters nicki stan’s. (her songs r doing well rn bc of tik tok and the younger generations not cuz of stan twitter btw).

[@harmoniaSINGS05]

It's so odd cuz Gracie's voice is the mid version of Olivia Rodrigo. I think creatively, I prefer Olivia. I can't get past Gracie's music and it doesn't help that she's a nepo baby and getting a Taylor Swift feature.

[@Nunofyabizzzzz]

5:58 this is the nicest way that I’ve ever heard a person say someone can’t sing

[@cherryblossommoon.]

maybe go listen to good riddance before saying this hope this helps!

[@RainforestRogue]

She’s like Taylor swift 2 nothing new

[@meghansullivan6812]

Your piano outros are not only funny but also genuinely relaxing and lovely to listen to ! 🌸

[@name3lesskatttt]

The fact 99% outside america/uk have not heard of her is telling

[@StylishGirl79]

not the deja vu outro

[@abrahamgarcia5663]

the thing with gracie is that some of her songs are a hit or miss.

[@rorolovesfolklore]

I will not lie. She has some songs I like like risk, I love you I’m sorry, or tough love but like her first albums 😭

[@meghansullivan6812]

Ikr there's a few great songs!!!

[@nopeninja9765]

Ive been recently watching a lot of vinyl record collection videos and i keep seeing this person with this lastest album come up. Granted it was always in videos with people who had a huge Taylor swift and Olivia Rodrigo album collections. 😅

[@qrosityy]

this is literally true bc after all the hate, i listened to her music and lowkey enjoy a few songs

[@ifeomaibeh68]

Wait but am i the only one who thinks Guts by Olivia Rodrigo sounded like Disney songs. They were nice and i still play it but it sounds like Disney

[@magnetsforbreakfast]

Even though people don't like her or her music, she can still finance her career due to her nepobaby status as the child of Star Wars producer JJ Abrams.

[@tochukwuudu7763]

Never heard of her.

[@JohnMcKinney-uw8qc]

Never heard of her until now.

[@donjai9366]

I'm familiar w/ Gracie Abrams & a few of her songs but I dont really care for her music. I found out who she was because her song Us w/ Taylor Swift was trending on KZbin. Then I checked out more of her songs & my initial thought was she's decent. Another song of hers I like is Close To You. Close To You & Us w/ Taylor Swift are the only songs I know by her. I rarely listen to her & haven't heard of her since that Us w/ Taylor Swift was released. She seems like she's kind of just there. I think she really needs to step up her game & figure out who she is as an artist.

[@brdmsh7708]

Let it happen bridge was EVERYTHING

[@angelmushahf]

I may have heard of her, but I don’t know any of her music. If ppl really hated her, or Kylie Jenner or Logan Paul or anybody, you would ignore them. It’s not just hate that makes ppl famous, it’s the viewership. It also ppl buying their album, makeup line or whatever. If you don’t like them, don’t buy into them

[@Marxnchill]

I just find her music so boring 🥱

[@emomu]

I honestly don't care if she's an industry plant or if her dad is rich or whatever, but my main problem with Gracie is that she lacks a proper sense of identity in her music. She pulls from a lot of her contemporaries like Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Lorde, Pheobe Bridgers, etc., yet I can't really even describe what kind of artist she is, since her music is so derivative of the artists I just mentioned. "Close to You" is a decent bop, but that's about it.

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

Who? Don't tell me she's another one of Taylor's "Best Friends" 🙄🙄🙄

[@LoveK1]

Taylor is so fake.😂 These girls still haven’t latched on to the fact that she becomes “besties” with whoever is the shiny, new thing. They have stars in their eyes meeting her and she has dollar signs. I clocked her 10 years ago.

[@carolynr570]

Why listen to Gracie Abrams when I could listen to Lorde or Phoebe Bridgers, their vocals are limited in range compared to vocalists like Ariana Grande or Lana but every time I try to check her out I just hear Lorde or Phoebe except they actually have substance to their songs.

[@DilemmaDreamer]

I heard "I miss you,I'm sorry" during the pandemic and I loved it but I wasn't compelled to hear her other stuff tbh

[@BlueNightfall03]

With Gracie, it’s great that she’s able to get herself out there and all, but where’s the identity? She doesn’t have a factor or lane that is uniquely hers, Therefore she won’t be easy to recognize as an artist. Lyrically, sonically, and vocally she’s just a blander and grayer version of Taylor Swift. It feels like her musical offerings are a cosplay of both Midnights & Tortured Poets! ( lmao no shade). I’ve noticed lyrically and musically, that she relies on metaphorical lyricism, and uses similar song structures like Taylor, but with her’s there’s an insincerity and disingenuous feel that makes them just Meh. It’s great that she’s been given a lot of support by Tay, but it’s great til it isn’t… I just hope Gracie realizes that; sparse/guitar instrumental tracks, a “forced” indie voice, and pseudo-reflective lyrics just aren’t the easy cheat-code anymore! It’s like Been there-Done that! 👀🙏🏽💯🙏🏽

[@Nonyah123]

Who else has NEVER EVER heard of her?

[@Rayaann]

That’s so true is a great song but she’s mid, sorry

[@jdchy6181]

i never got the gracie hate as someone who’s been following her career since her debut (minor ep) & i always felt she catered to a more niche audience….i uds shes a nepo baby but i only knew abt her dad’s name through her & it doesnt mean shes not talented tho

[@merobenss]

i heard her live and was very surprised she great but wtf her album sounds ANNOYING like weird overlapping of her voice and yeah i agree she does sounds like a taylor swift

[@noth1ngnew13]

why did u see her live then?

[@intlmusicedits]

British indie pop artist Holly Humberstone had also opened for Olivia Rodrigo's SOUR tour back in 2022, and also recently opened for Taylor Swift in London in 2024, but is still nowhere near as big as Gracie Abrams now. Thus, I doubt that Gracie's association with Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo are that influential in her current success.

[@ifeomaibeh68]

When you say she sounds like Taylor, I don't think so, it's more like she's trying but the production annoys me and her lyrics don't hit,I can't bring myself to listen to her album but i like i love you I'm sorry, mess it up, rocklands and i miss you I'm sorry tho

[@gramblingnite]

Never heard of her before just like your videos but her vibe and clips your playing is gving me Mandy moore vibes likeback in 2000 christian ,britney and others wwre consider bound breaking back then and little on ordinary mandy was dropped in thay box she felt outta of the loop even though she had certain traits of each artist then she could be in the covo cause she was blonde like ( christina, brit, jessica etc ) but even woth all those traits she felt very basic and she is giving me that

[@Dexow21]

I like some of her music but she’s too generic or manufactured in my opinion.

[@Angelssiq]

I feel like ROSÉ will be another taylor swift print i fear…

[@shocksystem8675]

She's co-signed by Bruno Mars though.

[@lmaolols186]

I feel like Rose has more vocal talent and she can also dance … I was surprised by apt so I feel like she might surprise us again

[@nikitamalisevs3639]

For me it's not a problem that Gracie is a nepo baby, but at the same time it's sad how a very generic artist received so many opportunities and support from the industry right from the start. Her debut album was ok but it's not that special, and I'm especially annoyed how her vocals sound like Lorde's impressions. The Secret of Us sounds more generic but have some brighter places, but it's still not enough because vocally an lyrically she doesn't have an authenticity AT ALL

[@VonHautkopf]

If everything I know of a new artist is that she's endorsed by two of the most overrated people in the entertainment industry, whose only real talent is making obscene amounts of money with their average-quality work, I know I wont be interested on her music, sorry 😂

[@conor987]

The final nepo baby boss

[@DA-sf3vs]

She has been pushed by Spotify and her label like crazy

[@valleyofthedawlz]

Addison Rae has more talent than she does

[@lmaolols186]

I honestly think she might be more talented BUT Addison is more interesting(though I think her reputation as a TikToker might hold her back)….. Gracie is just kinda boring

[@DorianEyre]

I know it'll probably be all speculation, fan theories and looking for meanings in places where there likely isn't But I would love to hear your take on the supposed rift between Oliva Rodrigo and Taylor Swift Especially after they were so cozy with each other initially and now don't even mention the other at all

[@LoveK1]

Taylor was absolutely one of the vampires in question. There was feeding frenzy with people trying to get credits on her sour album.

[@ivanperez4627]

Am I the only one who hears Lorde’s voice when they hear Gracie’s? She’s not on my radar but people kept talking about her on social media and I was like “ok, let me listen to one of her songs” I don’t even remember which one it was but I was like “omg she sounds just like Lorde”

[@Brenmuffins]

Tbh I honestly didn’t even know who she was until I love you I’m sorry popped up in my suggested songs. She has a couple songs I thought were decent. But we’re gonna have to see if she develops into a real artist with a strong career or not

[@namjoonie936]

she’s just another rich “independent” artist. their are real independent artists that make similar music
