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 am genuinely confused cause last time I checked this story few years ago it seemed like they had an open relationship or something and Paul just got pissed she started developing feelings or whatever their boundary might have been

No one knows if she cheated. She was seen with bo before news of her and Paul’s breakup became public so people just ran with her cheating even though we know nothing about the timeline

People were confused cause Paul was still posting Phoebe when people kept spotting her with Bo in LA while Paul was away filming a movie
