Gracie Abrams gives concert and talks on TODAY about Taylor Swift’s dismissal

PS: Keep a fire extinguisher in your home in case of a sudden candle fire.

Singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams learned this lesson the hard way while hanging out late into the night with none other than Taylor Swift, who opened for the star on her Era’s Tour for the past two years.

In Studio 1A for her on 28 June TODAY Summer concert, Abrams explained that she and the “Karma” singer went out to dinner and drank “a lot” before returning to Swift’s TriBeCa apartment to talk and listen to each other’s music. There, Swift performed her then-unreleased song “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” from The “Tortured Poets” section.

The two were working on a song together, “Us,” before a candle exploded. In a video she shared on June 21, Swift “jumped into action” and put out the flames with a fire extinguisher, though she did end up covering herself and her purse with chemical foam. Abrams wisely advised Swift not to pour water on the flames, saying TODAY that she made this mistake with one of her own candles and thereby caused a fire.
