Gracie Abrams has responded after her followers launched a petition to vary the opening act for her European tour dates as a result of they hadn’t heard of the introduced artist.
Final week, Gracie — who was not too long ago one in every of Taylor Swift’s help acts on the Eras Tour — took to her Instagram story to excitedly share that US singer Dora Jar shall be supporting her The Secret Of Us tour.
Dora herself couldn’t cover her pleasure after the information broke, taking to her X account to share her appreciation for Gracie for giving her this chance. She wrote: “This has been the sunshine on the finish of a tunnel in my life. So grateful and I CANT WAIT!!!! I really like Gracie, I really like music, and I really like you.”
Nonetheless, not everyone shared her enthusiasm, with a few of Gracie’s followers insisting that Dora is simply too unknown to be Gracie’s help act.
In reality, one was left so disillusioned that, on the exact same day because the announcement, they launched a change.org petition known as “Substitute Dora Jar because the Opening Act for The Secret of Us Europe Tour.”
Whereas the petition has since been deleted, it created sufficient of a stir on social media for each Dora and Gracie to reply.
However Gracie was a little bit extra direct as she known as out the “wildly uncool” response from this group of followers in a touch upon an Instagram publish in regards to the petition.
For sure, the entire state of affairs has left onlookers with a extreme case of second-hand embarrassment, with many declaring that an enormous facet of reserving a tour opener is to platform lesser-known artists.
