\n\tGracie Abrams<\/a> is living out every Swiftie\u2019s wildest dreams, having gone from childhood fan to Eras Tour opener to close friends with Taylor Swift<\/a> herself. With that in mind, the 24-year-old singer-songwriter can say from firsthand experience that the pop superstar is just as great a pal as she is an idol.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShe\u2019s extraordinary, which we all know,\u201d Abrams told TODAY<\/em> Friday morning (June 28), sitting down for an interview between live performances as part of the show\u2019s Citi Concert Series. \u201cBut she\u2019s as extraordinary a friend and mentor as she is an artist and a writer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cClose to You\u201d singer also rehashed the viral story of how she and Swift put out a fire<\/a> together after writing their collaboration \u201cUs\u201d at the latter\u2019s New York City apartment, an anecdote she first told Billboard <\/em><\/a>earlier this month. \u201cShe saved the building,\u201d Abrams recalled of the 14-time Grammy winner coming to the rescue with a fire extinguisher. \u201cShe literally just made it happen. She\u2019s a superhuman.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cUs\u201d appears on Abrams\u2019 sophomore studio album The Secret of Us<\/em>, which dropped one week prior to her TODAY <\/em>appearance. The project is currently challenging<\/a> Swift\u2019s The Tortured Poets Department <\/em>for the No. 1 spot on next week\u2019s Billboard 200<\/a>, where the \u201cAnti-Hero\u201d singer\u2019s LP has reigned for nine consecutive weeks.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring her time on the Today Plaza stage, the California native also performed new song \u201cBlowing Smoke\u201d and older fan favorite \u201cI Miss You, I\u2019m Sorry.\u201d Plus, she got the chance to interact with ecstatic fans in the audience, gifting one tearful person \u2014 who just so happened to be graduating that day as their school\u2019s valedictorian \u2014 free tickets to her Radio City Music Hall concert later this year.<\/p>\n
