Gracie Abrams wows fans with special performance after sparking outrage over her ‘pricey’ merch

Gracie Abrams delighted fans with a special performance ahead of the European leg of her tour – just days after fans slammed the artist for her pricey merch.

The singer-songwriter, 25, graced the stage of The Graham Norton Show on Friday night ahead of kicking off her The Secret of Us tour’s European leg.

For her special appearance, Gracie captivated the audience with a show-stopping performance of her latest smash hit track, That’s So True.

Gracie – who has been dubbed a nepo baby due to her famous father, filmmaker J.J. Abrams – turned heads in a black and silver tweed co-ord that exuded elegance.

She showed off her toned midriff in the ensemble, which featured a cropped jacket and a flowing A-line maxi skirt.

Completing her look, Gracie opted for minimal accessories, allowing her voice to take centre stage.

Fans were delighted to see her on stage just hours before she is due to kick off the European leg of her tour in Stuttgart, Germany, on Saturday night.

However, some fans were recently left infuriated over the steep prices of her tour merchandise.

The Close To You singer, who will be honored at the Billboard Women in Music event in March, has a line of merchandise available on her website which some have declared as ‘insane’.

‘We need to talk about how insane artist merch is getting,’ TikTok user Brandon said in a recent clip.

He showed a vinyl crate available on Gracie’s website, which appears to be a blue plastic milk crate with Gracie Abrams written in a white cursive script on the side.

‘Gracie, what is this?’ he questioned, pointing the crate. ‘This is literally just a milk crate with Gracie Abrams written on it.’

Brandon said he does understand wanting to have vinyl merch attached to an artist, but says, ‘when [the products] are done this cheaply, what’s the point’.

And others were quick to agree.

‘Why is the Gracie Abrams merch so expensive not the shirts but the hoodie. Like $99 for a hoodie is crazy!’ one fan ranted.

Another claimed there were different prices depending on which country the online store was based.

‘The way you’d save money by buying from the UK Gracie Abrams store instead of the German store. This doesn’t make any sense. I don’t understand who chooses the merch prices, this is ridiculous,’ an appalled customer wrote.

‘I want Gracie Abrams merch so bad why is everything so expensive,’ whined someone else.

Fans responded to the social media posts sharing their thoughts on the merch.

‘I SAW THIS AND SCREAMED,’ one user wrote.

‘The crate is actually pretty cool because regular milk crates intentionally don’t fit vinyl’s anymore because they kept getting stolen back in the day! So one that does fit them is a great idea, I’d buy it,’ another pointed out.

‘I love interesting merch but why is it so expensive girl?’ complained another.

‘I like the creativity but the prices are too insane,’ agreed someone else.

‘It’s so out of touch its crazy. Nepotism is baffling,’ slammed another user.

Last year, Gracie left fans with a sour taste in their mouths with her ‘unjustifiable’ ticket prices for the second US leg of her tour.

It was announced earlier this week that the Close To You singer would be performing more dates across the country next summer as part of her The Secret of Us deluxe tour.

But shortly after Gracie announced her shows, fans discovered in the pre-sale that two VIP tickets at Madison Square Garden would set them back an eye-watering $648.40.

Fans of the singer were furious by the ‘absurd’ ticket prices and expressed their outrage on social media.

Gracie has also made headlines in recent weeks after rumours that she has split from her boyfriend Paul Mescal began circulating.

The speculation began when the couple were seen having an emotional moment at a London eatery that caught the attention of onlookers, who claimed ‘it looked like a break-up’.

A by-stander told DailyMail.com: ‘They were sat at a table opposite each other and Paul had his head in his hands as Gracie just sat there crying.

‘She was crying so much that he then started to cry too. She eventually got up and walked out of the restaurant while they were halfway through their meal and he was left to pay the bill before leaving shortly afterwards.

‘Everyone saw it all go down, it looked like a break-up, we were just shocked at how public it all was.’

Neither party has commented on the split rumblings.
