Taylor Swift is riding high during one of the most successful periods of her career. Following the release of her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, which continues to dominate charts in the U.S. and globally, the powerhouse artist is already gearing up for her next musical offering.
Gracie Abrams’ Upcoming Album
In exciting news for fans, rising star Gracie Abrams has announced her sophomore album, The Secret of Us, set to drop on June 21. This highly anticipated project comes about a year and a half after Abrams’ debut album, Good Riddance. As she revealed that her new album is complete and almost ready for release, Abrams also shared a thrilling detail that has fans buzzing: the album includes a collaboration with none other than Taylor Swift.
A Collaboration to Watch
Swift will be featured on a track titled “Us,” which will appear on The Secret of Us. While it’s yet to be confirmed whether “Us” will be released as a single, it’s likely that Abrams will want to leverage this collaboration with the biggest musical star in the world to turn it into a potential hit. The synergy between Swift’s star power and Abrams’ fresh talent sets the stage for what could be a remarkable moment in both their careers.
This collaboration will mark Swift’s first new release since The Tortured Poets Department made waves, sending all 31 songs from its tracklist to the Hot 100. Many tracks from the album are still making an impact on the charts weeks after their debut. Although it’s uncertain if Swift will release additional new material before “Us” arrives, she may prefer to let her current works shine without distraction.
Gracie Abrams’ Rising Career
“Us” is expected to be a significant milestone for Abrams, particularly due to Swift’s involvement. This collaboration could potentially mark her first entry on the Hot 100 as a lead artist. Thus far, the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter has only made one appearance on this competitive chart, which was alongside Noah Kahan on the track “Everywhere, Everything,” peaking at No. 79.
Adding to the excitement, Abrams was one of the openers on Swift’s The Eras Tour, performing to massive crowds before Swift took the stage last April. She’s also set to rejoin Swift this fall as the tour returns to America following Paramore’s stint.
As fans eagerly await both The Secret of Us and the collaboration “Us,” Taylor Swift continues to solidify her status as a dominant force in the music industry, inspiring emerging artists like Gracie Abrams to reach new heights.
