Abrams, the daughter of famed film director JJ Abrams, first entered the music industry with her debut EP Minor , which featured hits such as "21" that appeared on her Eras Tour playlist. For her debut album Good Riddance , Abrams teamed up with 12-time Grammy Award winner Swift folklore and eternal collaborator Aaron Dessner to produce the An indie pop album. Swift, however, makes no such connection. "We have the same lawyer," she told the Toronto Star in March. "We FaceTimed one time and I remember feeling immediately comfortable on the phone. A year later, he contacted me and said I should go to Long Pond (his recording studio), so I went and that was our first real Meet. I stayed for a week."
Abrams doesn't mind comparisons between her album and Swift's 2020 record. “I feel like I’m in the folklore era right now,” she said. "I've been feeling at peace lately."
Ahead of her Eras tour, Abrams expressed her excitement by singing a cover of Swift's old song "Champagne Problem" for fans at a sound check for the March 14 New York show.

It really means a lot to be able to count on her in any capacity...I'm excited to see her crush it every night. Watching her up close and being able to study her in this way has been the greatest gift. "
