Gracie Abrams: From Oscar Night with Paul Mescal to Lollapalooza, the Singer Taking Singapore by Storm

If you haven't heard of Gracie Abrams yet, get ready because her name is about to be everywhere in the coming months. The American singer-songwriter has become the centre of attention lately, not just for her addictive hits, but also for a moment that stopped the world: alongside actor Paul Mescal on the red carpet at the 2026 Oscars. The couple (yes, they're together and delighting fans) arrived at the ceremony together and shared some truly wholesome moments. While the entire internet wondered how these two talents found each other, eagle-eyed fans already knew: Gracie isn't just the girlfriend of the "Normal People" star. She's one of the most promising voices of her generation, and now she's ready to truly captivate Singaporean audiences.

From "Close to You" to "Risk": The Anthems Taking Over

If you're the type who lives on TikTok and loves discovering new playlists, you've definitely stumbled upon "Close to You". The track, a real gem of indie pop, blew up on social media and introduced Gracie to a massive audience. But it doesn't stop there: the song "Risk" is further proof of her talent for turning complex feelings into simply addictive melodies. It's the kind of song that gets stuck in your head without you even realising. With lyrics that read like diary entries and a voice that balances sweetness and intensity, Gracie Abrams inherited the talent from her father, director J.J. Abrams, but has built her own unique identity. She's not just "J.J.'s daughter." She's the artist selling out shows and getting the crowd to sing every verse like it's a personal anthem.
