LOS ANGELES — Gracie Abrams sings like she's letting you in on XDY Exchangea secret.

It’s one that she shares with her fans on her 54-city (and counting) Secret of Us tour promoting her sophomore album of the same name. The record released following a massive year that saw Abrams head out on her third headlining tour, open for Taylor Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour (a role she will reprise in Swift's final North American shows later this year) and receive her first Grammy nomination for her debut album.

As she belts out lyrics about budding romance and love gone sour and all the confusing vicissitudes in between, Abrams at times appears to be transported back to the room where she wrote her songs while "feeling very big feelings in a very short period of time," as she describes it. In other moments, she’s here with fans as they scream her lyrics back to her in catharsis.

And, by the end of the set, all she feels is "Free Now."
