<h2><b>Taylor Swift&#8217;s best friend</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In early April, around 11 p.m. in Akasaka (Minato Ward), a crowd had gathered in a bustling nightlife district popular with salarymen. After a while, a woman emerged from a nearby building, surrounded by strong, bodyguard-like foreign men, prompting the assembled people to rush toward her.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The woman was 25-year-old Gracie Abrams—an American singer-songwriter currently gaining worldwide attention as a next-generation icon.</span></p>
<p><b>“She debuted in 2020 with the EP album Miner. Her second album The Secret Of Us became a massive hit, debuting at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard 200. The single ‘That’s So True’ from the album is a global smash. Her father is famed director J.J. Abrams (58), known for works like Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and her mother is also a film producer.</b></p>
<p><b>Raised among Hollywood celebrities, Gracie is close with fashion icons like Cara Delevingne (32) and Camila Morrone (27), and is especially well-known as a best friend of Taylor Swift (35). Last year, she opened for Taylor’s The Eras Tour. Their co-written song ‘us.’ was nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 67th Grammy Awards. She’s widely regarded as the top contender for the title of ‘post-Taylor Swift’ artist,” </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">said a music magazine writer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gracie’s first visit to Japan was to perform a one-night-only show at Zepp Haneda in Tokyo. After singing 17 songs in front of 3,000 fans, she headed straight from the venue to a members-only wagyu restaurant in Akasaka.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Produced by Takafumi Horie (52), known as “Horiemon,” the restaurant is a favorite among international celebrities. In the past, stars like David Beckham (49), Ariana Grande (31), and Dodgers player Mookie Betts (32) have visited.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After savoring premium wagyu beef, Gracie showed no signs of surprise at the large group of fans surrounding her. Instead, she smiled warmly at them as she departed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Her next visit to Japan is already eagerly awaited.</span></p>
