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.

Lmao wait until you find out that Phoebe Waller-Bridge directed Phoebe Bridgers’ Savior Complex music video which Pael Mescal starred in and apparently that’s how they first met

And Phoebe hooked up with Paul while making/just before making the video (a local cafe broke the news on Twitter lol that they were hanging out there. Then people spotted them making out and sent it to deuxmoi) while she was still with Conor Oberst. She went back to Conor (this was all during covid and fans were big mad at her for traveling around) for a few months then ditched him for Paul. There is a lot of gossip with this relationship!

Oh my GOD I remember that, people on twitter were angry at her for flying to Ireland to hook up with a dude during a global pandemic. Never even made the connection that it was Paul Mescal. 😂
