Gracie Abrams has insisted it is 'appropriate' to call her a nepo baby

Gracie Abrams has insisted it is "appropriate" to call her a nepo baby.

The Close to You singer - whose is the daughter of writer and director J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot Production CEO Katie McGarth - doesn't get upset when people link her success to her family connections because she's aware of how helpful her "privilege" has been in getting her where she is today.

Speaking on the New York Times' Popcast podcast, she said: "The nepo stuff is obviously in the discourse appropriately.

"I think about the privilege there, and it's like, I had a safety net, and that allowed me the ability to experiment and to concentrate, and I had the gift of time to dedicate to doing this thing I loved.

"I wasn't growing up afraid financially, and that's the biggest deal.

"The specific household that I was born into, there is just this vocabulary that I'm so lucky to grow up with.

"So like, when I see people pointing that out, it's like, I get it, hard-core. The jokes and things, I understand the tone of the Internet."
