Gracie Abrams, at just 25 years old, has made significant waves in the music industry, earning Grammy nominations for Best New Artist in 2024 and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance in 2025 for her collaboration 'Us' with Taylor Swift.

Her rapid rise in recognition is underscored by her emotionally intimate songwriting, which began at the age of eight, leading to her debut performance on Saturday Night Live in December 2024.

Abrams has gained further acclaim by opening for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in 2023 and 2024, alongside her own sold-out 'The Secret of Us Tour'.

She released her debut album, 'Good Riddance,' in February 2023, which was followed by another sold-out North American tour that sold out in under one hour.

Her earlier project, 'minor,' released in summer 2020, featured popular singles like '21' and 'I miss you, I’m sorry,' establishing her as a formidable new voice in pop.

Abrams' sophomore album, 'The Secret of Us,' reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and produced hits such as 'I Love You, I’m Sorry' and 'That’s So True,' the latter peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The deluxe version of 'The Secret of Us,' released in October 2024, included the hit single 'That’s So True,' which topped the US Spotify chart.

Her single 'Close To You' achieved over 3 million Spotify streams on its first day, while 'I Love You, I'm Sorry' peaked at #11 on the US Spotify Chart.

Looking ahead, Abrams has announced a 2025 tour that will include stops in Europe, Australia, and Asia, along with her first solo arena tour in North America featuring iconic venues like Madison Square Garden.

In recognition of her contributions to music, Abrams will receive the Hal David Starlight Award, which honors young songwriters who significantly impact the industry.

Nile Rodgers, the SHOF Chairman, praised Abrams for her award-winning songwriting style and impressive artistry, joining a prestigious list of past recipients including SZA, Post Malone, and Taylor Swift.

Details regarding the date and location of the Hal David Starlight Award ceremony have not yet been disclosed.
