Gracie Abrams had a special shoutout for boyfriend Paul Mescal after the Irish star helped write a song on her new album.
The pair have been loved up since 2024, but only went public with their relationship this year. The Oscar nominee, who made his debut in Normal People in 2020 before becoming a Hollywood mega star, had a hand in the track "Imaginary Friend" in her album "Daughter from Hell."
The collaboration earned the former Kildare GAA star a special thank you as the 26-year-old took to social media to share a message to fans after its release last Friday. In her post, Gracie thanked “every single player and writer” involved in the album.

“I admire you all,” she wrote.
“To the fans, I wouldn’t be anywhere without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. To P, for everything forever,” she added.
Speaking about the songwriting process with her Irish boyfriend, she said including input from Paul was “so fun” and said their collaboration wasn’t a big deal.
Gracie is the daughter of famous filmmaker J.J. Abrams and producer Katie McGrath. She also thanked her parents.
She added, “Most importantly, I would like to say thank you to my parents for loving their daughter from hell and for giving her every ounce of patience and trust they had,” she said.
In the Irish Times' review of the album, her work was a "storm in a bell jar," with deeper musings after you scratch the surface.

It read, "Gracie Abrams’s third album is a storm in a bell jar, a howl of twenty-something anguish muffled by tasteful production, where dark thoughts lurk beneath polite songs.
"It also reminds us why she has quietly become one of the most divisive pop stars of her generation.
"To her young fans, she’s a figure of Taylor Swift-level significance, a trusted chronicler of heartache, teenage ennui and the ups and downs of early adulthood that they see coming into view just over the horizon."
