Gracie Abrams denies her career has been harmed by Paul Mescal relationship

Gracie Abrams has slammed rumours her career has been harmed by her relationship with Paul Mescal.

The Hit the Wall singer has been dating the Normal People actor since 2024, and the pair now live together in London.

However, fans have been wondering whether or not the romance has adversely affected Gracie’s singing success, after she herself previously expressed concern that a long-term partnership could hinder her career.

She had told Vogue in June: “I was worried feeling secure and stable was threatening my drive to write music. It freaked me out.”

Now, in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Gracie has reflected on the reaction to her admission.

She said: “I’m like, ‘Are we on crack? Like, what the f***?’”

The 26-year-old singer added that the response had reminded her why she prefers to stay off sites such as Instagram and X.

She sighed: “That was my cue to be like, ‘Oh, remember why you don’t look [at social media]?’”
