Gracie Abrams Was ‘Worried’ Her Music Would Suffer Due to Relationship With Paul Mescal

The pop star also opened up about their quiet life together in a new interview.

From “That’s So True” to “I Love You, I’m Sorry,” Gracie Abrams has proven she can write a good breakup song. But now that she’s happy and in love with boyfriend Paul Mescal, even she wasn’t sure how her songwriting capabilities would be affected.

In a Vogue cover story published Tuesday (June 9), the pop star opened up about her cozy life with the Irish actor and detailed how she learned to approach making music differently with a steady, balanced relationship in her life. She’s settled now in the London home she shares with Mescal, who’s currently filming his portrayal of Paul McCartney in Sam Mendes’ four-part Beatles biopic in the city; their place is filled with instruments, including a piano Abrams plays most mornings and guitars for both herself and Mescal, who’s picked up the instrument for the films.
