Gracie Abrams’ Secret of Us tour stop at the Aragon Ballroom last night felt like a triumphant return. Abrams, who had previously opened for Olivia Rodrigo on the very same stage during the Sour Tour, and who had just first performed in the Windy City a couple years ago, a few blocks away, returned to Chicago, this time to a packed, sold-out crowd. With nearly five times the number of fans compared to her 2022 performance at The Metro, and likely the ability to sell out last night’s venue another five times over (or perhaps more), Gracie’s star power has clearly skyrocketed. Early in the show, she paused to reminisce about her intimate Metro performance, calling it one of her favorite shows of all time and reflecting on how surreal it was to now fill a space as large as the Aragon Ballroom.
“Welcome to The Secret of Us Tour. I don’t know if any of you were at our show at The Metro, that was one of my favorite shows of all time! To be here is unbelievable.”
As she welcomed the audience, the love in the room was palpable. Fans wearing Gracie’s signature bows filled the venue, showcasing the deep connection she has with her supporters. The room was so electric that, at times, the audience’s collective voice overpowered Gracie herself—a testament to how deeply her music resonates with her listeners.
Opening with “Felt Good About You,” Gracie set the tone for an evening of vulnerable storytelling and catharsis. Tracks like “Risk,” “Mess It Up,” and “Blowing Smoke” were delivered with the emotional depth that has become Abrams’ hallmark, and the crowd responded with equal fervor. During “21” and “I Miss You, I’m Sorry,” it was almost impossible not to feel the weight of each lyric as the room sang along in perfect harmony.
In addition to her familiar hits, Gracie treated fans to a special surprise with the performance of an unreleased track called “Cool,” which she announced would be included on the deluxe version of The Secret of Us, set to be released next month. The excitement in the crowd reached a fever pitch as she shared this news, further solidifying the deep bond between Abrams and her fans.
Gracie also took time to spotlight her opening act, Role Model (Tucker Pillsbury), expressing how much his music has meant to her over the years. She had the crowd shout “Love you, Tucker” so he could hear their admiration from backstage. Although some fans missed parts of Role Model’s set, due to long lines to get in and the show starting a half-an-hour early, the Los Angeles-native performed a great opening 8-track set, including songs like “Deeply Still in Love”, “Writing’s on the Wall” and “Scumbag”.
Though the evening was full of emotional highs, Gracie made sure to take a moment to discuss something heavier—politics. Partnering with organizations like HeadCount and Planned Parenthood on her tour, Abrams used her platform to encourage fans to vote, citing the upcoming election as one of the most crucial moments of our time.
“In my opinion, true democracy equals freedom, freedom to control your body, the freedom to read books that expand your mind, the freedom to love who you love, the freedom to take care of your neighbors. We need to decide if we are going to control our own destiny or let a bunch of men who do not share our values to do that for us.”
Abrams rallied the sold-out crowd to take control of their destinies rather than letting those with differing values decide for them. Her passion for activism was evident, and her message resonated with a crowd that came for the music but left with much more.
Gracie Abrams’ return to Chicago was nothing short of magical. The singer-songwriter has transformed from the emerging act and opener we saw a couple of years ago into a headliner who commands every corner of the stage. From her heartfelt music to her open conversations about activism, Abrams proves she’s not just a performer but a force of nature. With the Secret of Us tour continuing to pack venues and a deluxe album on the way, Gracie’s rise shows no signs of stopping and the Aragon will likely be the most “intimate” venue you’ll be able to see her perform at as her current tour could have sold-out arenas across the country. Her performance at the Aragon Ballroom was unforgettable, leaving no doubt that she’s one of the most captivating voices in music today.

With support from singers Gracie Abrams and beabadoobee, Swift delivered a career spanning show complete with 44 songs, multiple costume changes, top-notch production and a 3-hour and 15 minute headlining set that Houston will never forget.
As if you should ever need more reasons to see Taylor Swift in concert, an artist who has cemented her status as one of the top performers in music for over a decade, we have compiled our top reasons why you shouldn’t have missed Taylor Swift’s sold-out weekend at the NRG Stadium this weekend.

Sold-Out Environment
The sold-out NRG Stadium created an electric atmosphere with anticipation building up as a countdown clock appeared until the lights cut off and the show began. The 70,000 screaming fans never tired, as everyone danced and sang along throughout all 9 eras, 44 songs and 195 minutes.
A Strong Opening
The concert also featured talented opening acts, providing a crystal ball into the next decade of pop. Singer-songwriters Gracie Abrams and beabadoobee warmed up the crowd with their supporting performances. Both artists are big emerging names in pop and if their star wasn’t already on the rise, their performances in support of Taylor Swift will certainly do the trick.
The Lover Era
Friday night’s headlining performance opened with Swift appearing mid-stage, surrounded by dancers wielding giant fan-like structures, and featured stand-out tracks from Swift’s 2019 LP “Lover”, like “Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince”, “Cruel Summer”, “The Man”, “Lover” and more. “Lover” was a perfect album to get the night started on the right foot, the first of four albums that Swift had yet to tour until The Eras Tour.
Houston Ties
Swift took time in her set to share her Houston ties for the Texas crowd. Taylor mentioned that Houston is her mother’s hometown. Swift herself was born in Pennsylvania but has called Nashville home since she turned 14.
44 Tracks
Each night was a 44-song extravaganza. The Eras Tour is a 44-song production that only artists like Bruce Springsteen can rival, the only difference being is that Taylor has to memorize the choreography throughout the lion’s share of the tracks, making the feat especially impressive.
History
With The Eras Tour’s Houston visit, Taylor Swift is the first artist to sell out three shows at NRG Stadium on the same tour, yet it was still one of the hardest tickets to get. If Swift didn’t have to bless other cities with her performances, one could wonder how many more shows Taylor could have sold.
A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience
Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that should not have been missed. Her stage presence and tour’s production is unmatched. She performs a career’s worth of hits while also showing extra love to her last 4 albums, all of which were performed for the first time on The Eras Tour. Each Era felt like it’s own performance, giving fans their money’s worth throughout the night. From the 1989 Era with some of Swift’s biggest commercial hits, to the Midnights Era that closed out the show with Swift’s latest singles, everyone in attendance left the stadium blown away from what Taylor Swift was able to deliver.
Taylor Swift electrified the crowd at the NRG Stadium in Houston, TX on Friday night, with her captivating voice, stunning performances, and unforgettable hits. The night marked the first of three sold-out shows at the stadium as part of her historically successful “The Eras Tour”.
The night began with opening acts Gracie Abrams and beabadoobee, who got the crowd pumped up for the main event. Both artists delivered stellar performances that showcased their unique styles and talents. Abrams wowed the audience with her heartfelt lyrics and soulful voice, while beabadoobee had the crowd rocking out to her indie pop tunes.
As the countdown began and the audience roared, Taylor Swift took the stage in a dazzling outfit that shimmered under the spotlights.

The “Rockland” singer also shared her admiration for the Windy City on Monday night. “Chicago is one of my favorite places to play, by a lot. I love it more than anything,” to which a fan in the back in the room reminded the rising star that Chicago loves her back. Gracie went on to introduce her band and perform more tracks from her early EPs and brand new album where the tour gets its name.
One of the highlights of the concert was when Gracie performed “Feels Like,” the standout track from her 2021, which she chose to close out the main portion of her set. The song, which used to open her set, was also a perfect track to lead fans into the encore. The crowd danced and sang along, clearly enjoying the infectious energy of the track.

With her raw talent and emotional lyrics, Gracie Abrams has the ability to connect with her audience in a way that few artists can. The Good Riddance Tour promises to be one of the best pop tours of the year, and after seeing Gracie’s tour kick-off in Chicago, it’s easy to see why.
