Gracie Abrams took a moment during her latest concert to congratulate friend Taylor Swift on her engagement to Travis Kelce.
Abrams, 25, paused her Tuesday, August 26, The Secret of Us Tour stop at the World Trade Center Mexico City to give a shout-out to Swift, 35, before performing their duet, “Us.”
“I feel like we should be saying a big congratulations to Taylor, who’s not here, but everybody, just congratulations to her,” Abrams said, per footage posted on social media, leading to a rapturous applause from the audience.
“I feel like she’s here with us tonight because of this song,” Abrams continued, encouraging the audience to sing Swift’s part as she performed “Us.”
Swift and Kelce, also 35, announced their engagement on Tuesday with a sweet Instagram post. A carousel of pictures jointly posted by the couple show the moment Kelce proposed to Swift with a ring designed Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” they captioned the post.
Abrams was a certified Swiftie before she joined Swift on her record-breaking Eras Tour as an opening act. The pair later recorded “Us” for Abrams’ second studio album, The Secret of Us.
Earlier in August, Abrams paid tribute to Swift by performing the 10-minute version of Swift’s 2012 hit “All Too Well,” and remarked on her experience with Swift on the Eras Tour.
“It is not lost on me that the reason a lot of us know each other is because I got to meet many of you through doing the Eras Tour with Taylor and I feel like I’m forever missing what that experience was,” she said during a concert in Inglewood, California. “I figured maybe you guys were also missing that same kind of thing. I wanted to sing this song with you that I will forever wish I wrote, if you’ve got 10 minutes…”
In November, Swift celebrated the pair’s duet receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. During a Toronto stop on her Eras Tour, Swift told the audience, “You can’t even imagine, like, the phone call between the two of us when the nominations came out and we saw that song was nominated. It was just screeching. It wasn’t even words, it was just feral screeching for the entire call.”
Other stars who have congratulated Swift and Kelce on their impending nuptials include Charlie Puth, Benson Boone and Reese Witherspoon.
