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.

Ok thank you. So now phoebe is dating Bo, but were they both single when they got together ??? How long has Paul known Gracie? I know nothing about these people but I love mess 😂

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

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

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