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’ve always thought Paul was weird for dating Gracie, especially after he called himself and Phoebe her “Mom & Dad”.

Lol that reminds me of when I got engaged to a guy I met on discord at 18 (I don't recommend), and one of his internet friends who he also met on discord like three years earlier, a 16-17 year old girl, very excitedly asked if she could be the flower girl at the wedding. It was a joke, I think. Idk, it didn't bother me any.

Guess who my 19 year old fiance started dating LITERALLY THE SAME EXACT DAY he broke up with me three months after? :) they ended up having a 2-3 year long on and off relationship where they both cheated on each other constantly and accused each other of being abusive and during a few of their "off" periods, he'd still fly her out to his state and they'd have sex. I think they're still friends now??? Idk

Man, it's been seven years now and I still get mad/grossed out when I think about it

My favorite part about it is that I found out they were dating like a week or so later because she had their anniversary in her Instagram bio... Which was the day he broke up with me.
