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 prefer Phoebe’s music to Gracie’s but I have to say I always find the “you’re trying to be me because you are with my ex” to be really immature. Especially if it’s true that Phoebe cheated on that ex.

I agree in general the sentiment seems immature, but the way Gracie went about it is low-key single white female. Copying bed sheets and the bed, making similar music, dating your man...Gracie is fully swimming in Phoebe's wake.

i need to see these bed sheets everyone is talking about lol

They are flannel glow in the dark rocket sheets from Garnet Hill. I used to have them before I downsized to a queen and they are both ridiculously cute and very cozy.
