A Chance Collaboration Turned Breakthrough
During her Eras Tour performance in Toronto, Swift recounted the story behind the song.
“The tour has been going on for nearly a year and a half, and so much has happened—personally and artistically. I think you’ll remember the brilliant young lady you saw earlier tonight, Gracie Abrams. The story starts about a year ago when Gracie was opening for me on the Eras Tour.”
Swift recalled a night when they celebrated Abrams’ nomination for Best New Artist at the Grammys. A spontaneous party filled with cocktails led to an explosion of creativity.
“We went back to my house, turned on some music, and started writing a song,” Swift shared.
