Gracie Abrams tells how Taylor Swift’s kitchen caught fire.

Gracie Abrams and Taylor Swift joined forces for their latest collaboration, “Us,” and it was nothing short of fiery – quite literally. Abrams recently revealed in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that their songwriting session led to a chaotic night that involved Swift putting out a fire in her apartment after an impromptu creative session.

The 24-year-old singer shared the story of how the unexpected incident unfolded. After a night of dinner and drinks, Abrams and Swift found themselves back at Swift’s house, listening to each other’s songs and getting inspired. The duo went from song to song, fueled by excitement and creativity until they stumbled upon the guitar part for “Us.” Without any plan in mind, they sat down at the piano and crafted the entire song from 2 AM to 6 AM, capturing the whole process on video.

Abrams recalled the dramatic turn of events when a candle they had lit burst into flames on the center island of the kitchen. Swift, quick to act, grabbed a fire extinguisher and managed to put out the fire after a few tense moments. Despite the chaos, both artists emerged unscathed, albeit with some burns and a lingering cough from the smoke-filled kitchen.

Following the eventful evening, Abrams took to Instagram to share a video of their creative process and Swift’s heroic fire extinguishing skills, labeling it as “some of the most fun I’ve ever had.” The collaboration on “Us” was born out of that eventful night, solidifying it as a memorable experience for both artists.

This unexpected adventure came during a summer where Abrams toured as the opening act for Swift’s The Eras Tour. As she gears up for her own headlining tour across theater-sized venues in the United States, Abrams continues to cherish the bond forged through music and shared experiences with Swift.

The creative spark that ignited “Us” showcases the magic that can happen when two talented artists come together, even if it involves extinguishing a small fire along the way. Through laughter, music, and a touch of chaos, Abrams and Swift crafted a song that embodies their shared passion for storytelling and creativity.

As fans eagerly await more collaborations and music from these two talented artists, the story of “Us” will always be a reminder of the unpredictable and magical nature of artistic inspiration.
