Vogue Spends a Day With Gracie Abrams On Tour

Vogue. [gentle music starts]

Hey Vogue, I'm actually up here.

Can you see me?

Hey!

Oh, hi!

Hi, guys!

Hi, Vogue! It's me, Gracie,

and today we're playing our third show

at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

Please come with me.

This is very important that we hang out

for as long as humanly possible.

Woo! [Gracie laughs quietly]

The least graceful.

It was unexpectedly emotional the first night.

I had not teared up on stage on the tour up until

that point, but just, yeah, really made me all sad.

Well, not sad, not sad.

Just teary. The least sad I've ever been maybe.

How was the week?

The week was great. Around seven...

Hi, guys! How's it going?

Hi guys, hey!

The bows are so sweet.

I saw this TikTok that was like someone being like

free thinkers at the Gracie Abrams show.

It's so, I don't know, just heartwarming

I think like to see any signs of community.

I've always had this sort of

back and forth relationship with my audience to some degree.

They're very vocal about what they want.

I'm slightly nervous to put out the deluxe album

because there's some songs that are not on it,

but those songs will have their own moments later.

All of these songs on deluxe

were recorded at Electric Lady.

Being back in the city this week,

Erin and I, we made some strange experimental stuff

that some of that is ending up on the deluxe album,

but most of it is its own kind of like bucket of songs

already that we are both desperate to finish.

So it's like it's currently my favorite place

to make things.

Welcome to stage.

And welcome to soundcheck.

Allow me to introduce you to my friends.

This is Gabe.

This is Cooper.

And this is Al.

And we're missing Casey tonight,

but Casey's normally with us.

And that's Abby up in the darkness.

Abby plays the triangle. Just kidding.

♪ Close to you ♪

4:44, make a wish.

This has like been my favorite view of the whole tour.

Like, this is just pretty magical and undeniably cool

and it's a privilege to be able to look out

and see this room as we play.

♪ I give up every day ♪

♪ To be close to you ♪

Pre-show, the most important thing that I do

are vocal warmups.

This is the first time that I've ever worked

with a vocal coach to just be smart about it.

It's obviously a muscle.

You just need to treat it like,

like you're an athlete about it.

There's something so unbelievably iconic about Radio City

Music Hall and to look out and see it full

and to know that I also had like friends

and family who I love so much in the room.

I got this guitar recently that was super exciting

and it's my new favorite one to play

♪ Bet you thinking she's so cool ♪

♪ Kicking back on the couch ♪

♪ Making eyes from across the room ♪

This year, playing the rooms that we're playing

like I cannot fathom the O2.

Like that just does not make sense in my head.

We're plotting the stage design right now

and like we have a B stage

and I've never had a B stage before.

These milestones and getting to share them with

our band and crew and who are people

that I just love so much that are such dear friends.

It feels like little just pinch me moments.

I feel like since starting touring a few years ago now,

that is the way that I like mark time instead

of like months or seasons.

It's like, that was on this tour or that tour.

My fucking string broke.

♪ Ooo, bet you thinking she's ♪

What'd you say? Stop?

Guys, it must be the steroids.

Are these not the indestructible ones?

Like, what is wrong with me?

I'm just too strong for my own good.

♪ When there's no else around ♪

♪ I've been thinking way too loud ♪

♪ I wish that I could block me out ♪

That's nice, I think.

That was sound check, as you just saw.

I loved actually having extra friends on stage.

It felt special and now every other sound check is ruined

'cause you guys made it so sweet.

We're gonna go do our fitting now and then glam

and then showtime eventually.

Can't wait, girls! Cannot wait.

These are our signs.

This is like following the yellow brick road.

It tells us where to go on tour.

This is where I'm going right now.

This is where I will be going next.

And I'm gonna go up! See ya.

[gentle relaxing music begins]

She's very ASMR.

I don't feel like there's some crazy disconnect

between the person that I am off stage versus

when I'm performing.

I just like to wear whatever makes me feel

most in my skin.

I really just like feeling like I can move and breathe.

The look for tonight is definitely like more glamour.

It's, Spencer and I were talking about it

and thought that like something that would've really kind

of shine in the light at Radio City would be.

It's a special moment.

Wow! Beautiful.

Wow!

This is Spencer!

Have you met already? Hello.

Have you talked to him yet?

When there are really special moments,

we call up our friends at Chanel

and they give us really special dresses.

So true.

Come on over guys. I've worn this dress before.

I wore this at the MetLife Eras show last year

and it was my favorite thing that I'd ever performed in

and it kind of feels like a wedding dress.

Like I remember putting it on being like

maybe I would want this one day.

Obsessed.

[Spencer] Personally. Yeah.

This is tonight's moment.

It's crazy 'cause it's seersucker.

I know.

Floral and sequin, but it's literally perfect

and gorgeous and exactly

the dress that will shine on the Radio City

[Gracie] stage. Yeah.

With with the tank. I know.

And with this it's giving Carrie Bradshaw.

So true, so true.

Now I just need like Manolos. Yeah.

And like a boyfriend

in the East Village. Chanel pumps.

Yeah, exactly. Or Chanel pumps.

Save it for another time. Let's save it!

Something else. Yeah.

These have been the pieces that I've

worn throughout this entire tour.

What I wear on and off stage is not radically different

except for this tonight 'cause it's special.

We love this. We love this one guys.

Yeah, that's the theme of the show

is fancy boat party.

We're gonna go to stage and play a show and rip it.

Bye!

Bye! Bye!

[Gracie] [crowd cheers loudly] Protected on three.

One, two, three.

[Musicians] Protected!

[Gracie] Absolutely.
