Gracie Abrams Shines at the Met in Philadelphia: A True Artist’s Performance

It's no secret that I'm a fan of music in all shapes and sizes, but there are few individuals whom I would truly consider artists. I appreciate many musicians and admire countless singers, but true artistry is rare. Last week, at the Gracie Abrams show at the Met in Philadelphia, I witnessed the magic of a true artist.

Gracie Abrams is more than just a performer—she’s a songwriter deeply involved in the crafting of her music. As a writer on almost every track on her recent album, The Secret of Us, Gracie embodies the essence of a singer-songwriter. Her emotions filled the room before she even set her bare feet on stage. By the time she sprinted out from stage left, clutching her acoustic six-string guitar, the air was thick with anticipation, and many in the audience were already wiping away tears.

The crowd at the Met was a beautiful mix—children, parents, young adults, and everything in between. Picture this diverse group united in emotion, all screaming, singing, and crying together during the bridge of I Love You, I'm Sorry. It was a sight to behold, a collective experience that only a few artists can inspire.

One of the standout moments of the evening for me was when Gracie played her then-unreleased song, It's So True, live. The performance gave us a sneak peek into a track that would later be featured on the deluxe version of TSOU, making it a truly special moment for those in attendance.

Gracie Abrams’ performance at the Met was not just a concert—it was an experience, a showcase of raw talent and emotion. If you haven’t yet seen her live, you're missing out on witnessing a genuine artist at work.
