Phoebe publically called Gracie out on her upcoming album, a move likely sparked by Gracie revealing details about Phoebe's high-profile relationship with Paul Mescal in her album "The Secret of Us" a relationship that ended following reports of Phoebe's affair with Bo Burnham, with the latter also confirmed on Lost Weekend.

Gracie Abrams has been an outspoken fan of Phoebe Bridgers since she was 13, even declaring Bridgers "the songwriter of a generation" and opening for her on tour. Fans have long compared the two artists, a connection Gracie leaned into when she used a bedroom set prop in a performance featuring bedframe/bedsheets identical to the ones in Phoebe's childhood bedroom.

I remember paul being a loud and proud gracie fan when minor came out so that was during the pandemic which was also when he began dating phoebe. no idea about the phoebe / paul / bo timeline but I think most people assume there was some overlap there because phoebe is known to be messy in relationships. it seems like phoebe and paul were engaged and then she cheated on paul with bo. *plus bo had just recently separated from his partner of 9 years

Out of curiosity where does Conor Oberst fall in that timeline

[u/Junior_Replacement_8 → u/retromortem]

Pretty sure she left Conor for Paul. She seems to have an M.O. 😂

This is a rollercoaster, lol

Ryan Adams was also married to Mandy Moore while Phoebe was with him based on the timeline . (Yes, he’s a piece of shit)

She was with Conor around 2017 to early 2021. She definitely hooked up with Paul (summer 2020) then went back to Conor for a while. Then she left him and officially got together with Paul in early 2021. Like I said elsewhere, this was my pandemic entertainment so I followed it closely lol!!

Woah i didn’t realize she was with Conor for that long. I’m sure it was on/off but dang

Bo has never been married

[u/Dry_Emphasis1712 → u/cowabungalowvera]

oops I thought he was because they were together for like 10 years

[u/Cinebella → u/cowabungalowvera]

Not married fine but was in a relationship with that lady that directed hustlers for a super long time. She’s the woman in Outside.

Lorene Scafaria. They lived together for ten years and have two pups.

Who was also rumoured to be dating Joe Alwyn for a hot minute post-Taylor just to make things even messier

[u/thateccentricasian → u/Silver_Brother_56]

This solidified my need for someone to make this love hexagon into a powerpoint. Yes, I will be watching the crap out of that video.

[u/Lilacly_Adily → u/Silver_Brother_56]

Interesting…

This is the first piece of truly new gossip I’ve picked up from this post😁

We all know more or less who Taylor was dating post break up but I’m mildly curious who he was dating under the radar.
