GRACIE ABRAMS and Taylor Swift

To Gracie Abrams, the Eras Tour feels like home.

The “Close To You” singer, 25, is back on the road with Taylor Swift, and she celebrated by sharing a sweet message on Instagram.

After taking the stage at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 19 — the second show of the their three-night stint in Miami — Abrams shared a photo of herself and wrote, “I will never ever forget what this felt like.”

“Thank you night 2 from the bottom of my heart,” she continued. “Currently writing a whole entire love letter to Miami … Being back on this tour feels like coming home. I love you @taylorswift.”

Abrams is opening for the remainder of Swift’s tour, which ends in December. After wrapping in Miami, the pair is headed to New Orleans, Indianapolis and later Canada to close out the tour, which kicked off in March 2023.

The daughter of J.J. Abrams also joined the “Karma” singer at some of her previous international tour dates, even sharing the stage to debut their collaboration “Us.”

In September, Abrams opened up about the “out of body” experience of debuting The Secret of Us track live with Swift at London’s Wembley Stadium this summer.

“We wrote it the way that we played it at Wembley,” she told Who What Wear. “To see somebody have the ability to, in a stadium, make it feel like you and her are the only two people there, that was hugely important for me to see.”

She also reflected on how the Eras Tour inspired her latest record, telling the outlet, “I am so f—ing happy that we get to do [The Secret of Us] on Eras just because so much of the album was undeniably inspired by the kind of energy that radiates from both Taylor herself and her fans, [who] are just so committed and passionate.”

LONDON, ENGLAND - JUNE 23: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY. NO USE ON COVERS OF PUBLICATIONS. NO BOOK USE) Taylor Swift and Gracie Abrams perform on stage during "Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour" at Wembley Stadium on June 23, 2024 in London, England.

Abrams also revealed that performing for the Eras Tour crowds “rewired a huge chunk of my brain,” which helped her conquer her fear of being onstage.

“Not just in terms of performing and stage fright and that kind of s— but in my life,” she continued. “I told myself that I knew I would hate performing. I knew I would be uncomfortable every second that I was onstage, and I didn’t end up feeling that way at all.”

In January, Abrams said that the experience of opening for Swift was “beyond my wildest dreams.”

“Being a part of that tour in a tiny way has changed the course of my life in so many ways,” she told PEOPLE, calling Swift an “unbelievable performer and the most generous friend.”

“It’s not lost on me that her belief in me has really just … done a lot,” she added at the time. “So, I’m deeply grateful to her, forever.”
