Gracie Abrams has heaped praise on Charli XCX

The 24-year-old singer believes websites like Instagram have come full circle and Gracie has welcomed the evolution of the internet.

She told WhoWhatWear: "This summer, there's been something that's felt oddly reminiscent of earlier days of Instagram, when it felt like the internet was more fun.

Gracie credits Charli XCX and her 'Brat' album for instigating the change.

She said: "Everyone's actually enjoying scrolling and seeing s***."

Gracie also cherishes the support for she's received from other female artists over recent years.

The singer explained: "There are women who have been doing this for way longer than I have who are such icons, and when you see them being supportive of one another, it makes intimidating rooms feel warmer immediately.

"It also doesn't feel fake to me. When there's real, true support, you feel the difference."

Last year, Gracie opened for Taylor Swift at some of the US gigs on her Eras Tour.

The singer admitted to being wowed by the award-winning star, acknowledging that Taylor has been a big influence on her life and her music career.

Gracie told The Sunday Times newspaper: "When I met her, it kind of felt like we had known each other already, which I'm sure there was an element of just like the parasocial relationship thing. I've grown up with her voice in my headphones my entire life."

The 'Risk' hitmaker also appreciated Taylor's advice about her music and her health, including tips for overcoming a back problem.

Gracie said: "She recommended an acupressure mat that really turned things around for me."
