Gracie Abrams Pauses Mexico City Show to Shout Out Taylor Swift on Engagement: ‘Big Congratulations to Taylor’

Gracie Abrams, like the majority of the pop universe, was super-pumped to hear the news about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement on Tuesday (Aug. 26). The singer who toured the world with Swift as an opening act on the singer’s record-breaking Eras Tour took a few minutes out of her show at the Pepsi Center WTC in Mexico City just hours after the big reveal to give a hearty congratulations to Taylor and Travis.

“I feel like we should be saying a big congratulations to Taylor, who’s not here, but everybody, just congratulations to her,” Abrams said, in a TikTok shared by a fan. “I feel like she’s here with us tonight because of this song,” Abrams added, as the crowd went wild at the news and the singer urged them to help her out by singing Swift’s part on their duet, “Us” from Abrams’ 2024 The Secret of Us album.

Abrams was among the many musicians, athletes, movie stars — and one seemingly reformed anti-fan president of the United States — who took time out on Tuesday to congratulate the happy couple after their surprise announcement. The singer and Kansas City Chiefs tight end, both 35, broke the news in a record-smashing social post that featured a series of photos from the flower-splashed garden proposal in which they cheekily revealed that “Your English teach and your gym teacher are getting married.”

And while it was news to the rest of us, according to Kelce’s dad, Ed Kelce, the IRL proposal actually took place two weeks ago. “He got her out there, they were about to go out to dinner, and he said, ‘let’s go out and have a glass of wine,’ … they got out there, and that’s when he asked her, and it was beautiful,” Ed Kelce said. “They started FaceTiming me and their mother and her folks to make sure everybody knew. So, to see them together is great.”
