Watch Gracie Abrams cover Taylor Swift’s ‘All Too Well’ at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum

Gracie Abrams performed a cover of Taylor Swift’s ‘All Too Well (10 Minute Version)’ during her show at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum on 7th August.

Introducing the song, Abrams told the crowd she had spoken to Swift “earlier today”. “It just is not lost on me that the reason that a lot of us know each other is because I got to meet many of you through doing the Eras Tour with Taylor,” she said. “I just feel like I’m forever missing what that experience was. I know we all feel that way … I wanted to sing a song for you that I’ll forever wish I wrote, if you’ve got 10 minutes.” Footage from the performance has been shared online.

Abrams opened for Swift at select stops on the Eras Tour and joined her onstage in December for a mash-up of ‘I Love You, I’m Sorry’ and Swift’s ‘Last Kiss’, the latter taken from 2010’s ‘Speak Now’.

‘All Too Well (10 Minute Version)’ appeared on Swift’s 2021 re-recording ‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’ as the original extended take of the 2012 track, featuring additional verses and released alongside a short film. In a four-star review of ‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’, NME’s Hannah Mylrea wrote: “Now at its full intended length, ‘All Too Well’ only confirms its place as an epic, with the Swiftian story played out as the instrumental ebbs and flows behind her vocals.”

Swift and Abrams previously collaborated on ‘Us’, from Abrams’ latest album. In November, the song was nominated at the Grammys for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, but it lost out to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars for ‘Die With A Smile’. Earlier this year, Abrams said no man has “come close to defining pop culture” as the ‘Love Story’ singer has.

Reflecting on the end of the Eras Tour run, Abrams said the team were “crying all day”. “It felt like the last day of school backstage. Everyone was walking around with their [tour] books, signing each other’s books. We were all walking around with Sharpies.”
