Who is Paul Mescal's new girlfriend Gracie Abrams? Meet Taylor Swift's best friend and daughter of famous movie director as they are seen strolling around London

As a devoted fan of both Gracie Abrams and Taylor Swift, I must say that following their journey over the past year has been nothing short of inspiring. Their friendship, marked by collaborations and shared stages, is a testament to the power of music and camaraderie.


On Monday, it was officially confirmed that Gracie Abrams and Paul Mescal are a couple, as they were seen sharing affectionate moments during a sweet date in London, putting an end to months of rumors.

24-year-old music sensation sparked dating rumors with the actor from Normal People when they were caught sharing a kiss at their dinner outing in Mayfair last May.

As a devoted fan, I’ve long admired Paul, who’s been a staple in British entertainment due to his extensive acting career, such as the upcoming Gladiator II. However, it wasn’t until this very year that Gracie’s career truly blossomed, following my support for my friend Taylor Swift during her Eras Tour.

The singer is quite familiar with the Hollywood setting too; her father is none other than the lead actor for both Star Wars and Star Trek franchises, JJ Abrams.

In this piece, we delve into all the key details regarding Gracie, as her relationship with Paul deepens.

As Gracie forges her unique path in the music industry, it’s worth noting that she is the daughter of renowned Star Wars director J.J. Abrams and producer Katie McGrath.

Gracie admitted earlier this year that she’s cognizant of being labeled a ‘nepo baby’, and made it clear that her parents have minimal involvement in her musical endeavors.

During an interview on iHeart Radio, Abrams expressed that there is an advantage in having been exposed to the inner workings of the entertainment industry from a young age.

‘But I definitely kept them so far out of it. 

‘Songwriting, for me, was always just a personal outlet to deal with my experiences without having to talk to anyone, especially my parents for many years.’

Jeffrey is primarily recognized as a talented American director and musician, particularly for his contributions in the realms of action, drama, and sci-fi films.

In a variety of films, Abrams served as both writer and producer. These movies include “Regarding Henry” from 1991, “Forever Young” in 1992, “Armageddon” in 1998, “Cloverfield” from 2008, the 2009 version of “Star Trek”, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” in 2015, and “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” in 2019.

movies produced by Abrams have earned more than $4 billion globally, placing him among the top 8 most financially successful directors in cinema history.

As an ardent admirer of Chanel, I’ve been captivated by Gracie’s impeccable style for years. Last year, it was my great honor to represent this legendary brand at the 2024 Met Gala. Dressed in a breathtaking creation from the iconic designer herself, I felt nothing short of magical as I walked the red carpet.

2024 saw her participating in fashion shows and brand events, and she also had the privilege of performing at the grand opening of Chanel’s watches and high-end jewelry flagship store in Manhattan earlier that year.

When did Gracie and Paul Mescal start dating?

On August 18, Paul publicly displayed his romantic connection with popular artist Gracie Abrams during a sweet excursion in London.

In a special video by TopMob, they were spotted strolling along the street, clearly enjoying each other’s company and appearing carefree.

One week prior, they found it challenging to conceal their relationship, as they were frequently seen locking lips during a dinner outing in London’s fashionable Mayfair district.

According to an observer, they seemed to be showing affection openly as they walked along fashionable streets, eventually making their way to a nearby park.

As an overly enthusiastic admirer, I’d put it like this: I couldn’t help but notice, TopMob, that the pair was far from bashful about their affection towards one another. They were locked in a passionate kiss under the warm sunlight, making it evident to all onlookers that their feelings for each other run deep.

Last month, they were seen shopping as a duo in the city, and an insider informed The Sun then: “Paul and Gracie appeared indistinguishable from any ordinary young pair out for a shopping spree. They managed to blend in quite well.”

They appeared quite at ease together as they explored the upscale stores along Bond Street.

Paul and Gracie are both quite reserved individuals, which meant that their interactions on the street were quiet and understated. There were no grand displays or public affection between them. Instead, they maintained a respectful distance from one another.

As a loyal observer, I can confirm that after their shopping outing, both Paul and the Close to You vocalist departed independently. They each chose their own mode of transportation to return home.

Grace has been performing in the United Kingdom for a string of shows, reportedly residing at the Chiltern Firehouse, which is centrally located in London.

As a die-hard fan, I couldn’t help but notice that Paul was conspicuously absent from her gigs in Kingston, Bristol, and Southampton recently. However, the fact that she repeatedly returned to the capital city struck me as more than just coincidence.

Previously, Paul was romantically involved with the musician Phoebe Bridgers, and more recently, speculation about a romantic connection has arisen involving Natalie Portman.

In contrast, it was stated later that Paul was merely friends with Natalie. She reportedly ended her marriage to Benjamin Millepied in March amidst whispers of his infidelity, but the relationship between them was kept private.

When did Gracie and Taylor Swift become friends?

Previously, Gracie teamed up with Taylor for more than thirty concerts spanning the United States last year. Later, she did a series of sold-out acoustic performances with Aaron Dessner in New York City, Nashville, and Los Angeles.

In June of this year, long-time friend Gracie unexpectedly joined forces with the artist behind Cruel Summer’s hit songs during her Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium, performing their duet ‘us’. This friendship between them dates back to 2022.

The Close To You singer has also previously supported Olivia Rodrigo on tour in 2022. 

Previously this year, Gracie posted a video showing Taylor using a fire extinguisher to put out a fire in her expensive New York City flat valued at around $50 million.

In simpler terms, Taylor Swift, known for the song “You Belong With Me,” appeared surprised when a candle tipped over and started a small fire in her fancy kitchen, filling the room with smoke from an extinguisher she used to put it out.

In a white gown, Taylor appeared, grabbing the fire extinguisher, as the puzzled celebrity exclaimed, “What should I do now?” or “I think we’re in big trouble!”

The artist behind “Sparks Fly” was caught on camera struggling with an extinguisher while muttering: “I’m not sure, um…” (or similar) depending on preferred language and context.

Overwhelmed with excitement, I quickly grasped the fire extinguisher and sprayed it across the room, only to be left utterly astounded by the sight that ensued. A thick blanket of white fumes filled every corner, turning my once familiar sanctuary into an eerie winter landscape. My cats, always so composed, were visibly shaken, their eyes wide with surprise and fear.

Taylor said: ‘Our purses are ruined, and my shoes and the whole room I think.’

Gracie added: ‘It smells really good though!; 

The post was captioned: ‘Writing this entire song from 2am to 6am was some of the most fun I’ve ever had in my life. @taylorswift now we know how to use a fire extinguisher. I love you.’

Is Gracie going on tour?

Last month, it was revealed that Gracie will embark on a journey across the UK and Europe, starting her The Secret Of Us tour.

The Grammy-nominated singer is set to take to the stage in an 18-date run.

Starting from February 9, she’ll launch her performances in Madrid, followed by stops in Lisbon, Amsterdam, Berlin, and Hamburg in other European cities.

The star that kicked off the Eras Tour lately is set to give concerts in various cities across the UK, including Nottingham, London, Manchester, Cardiff, Dublin, and will finally end in Glasgow.

People who have already pre-purchased her new album from her official shop will be granted early access to ticket purchases, starting July 17 at 10am.

General ticket sale will later be released July 19 at 10am.

2024 saw her being put forward for a Grammy award in the Best New Artist category, sharing this recognition with musicians such as Ice Spice and Noah Kahan.

Gracie frequently collaborates musically with the multi-talented artist, Aaron Dessner. Since the release of ‘folklore’ in 2020, Dessner has contributed to every album that Swift has produced.
