Gracie Abrams, who performed with Taylor Swift on her last night in London in June, revealed a joke Travis Kelce told her that helped her keep her composure before her cameo on the European leg of the singer’s “Eras” tour.

The 24-year-old, daughter of Star Wars director JJ Abrams, took to the stage at Wembley last month to duet with the pop star on Swift’s hit “US.”

However, nervous before her performance in front of the sold-out crowd, Abrams was backstage with Kelce and revealed her funny interaction with her on SiriusXM.

“Before we both performed, we were in the tent and he performed right in front of me – I think two songs or so,” Abrams said.

“He’s like, ‘I’m going to mess this up so you can look really good.'”

The rising pop star and California native added that Kelce’s support was indicative of the atmosphere among Swift’s tour partners.

“The thing is… it’s just a community of really supportive people,” Abrams said, according to Billboard.

“Really, everyone, whether you’re in the tent or in the top row of the stadium, it’s like everyone is there because there’s such a deep joy and emotion associated with all the music she’s put out over the past 18 years.

“…It’s something truly magical.”

According to the UK’s Officials Charts Company, Abrams’ new album, “The Secret of Us,” outsold Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department,” which is currently at No. 1, in June.
