The pair's London date comes just days after the 24-year-old singer's new album, featuring a stellar partnership with Taylor Swift—“us.” Her affectionate connection with Swift has come a long way since she became a striking opening act for the “Lover” songstress' trailblazing Eras Tour in November 2022.

Earlier this month, Abrams even shared a candid behind-the-scenes glimpse at the duet's brainstorming session, commemorating the release of her and Swift's song premiere. The same social media post also sneaked a peek into Taylor Swift valiantly putting out a kitchen fire in her NYC apartment.

As for the other side of the table, Paul Mescal has also been in the headlines recently for day-outs with “The Bear” star Ayo Edebiri, Natalie Portman and Angelina Jolie earlier this year following his reported late 2022 breakup with ex-fiancee Phoebe Bridgers. However, they all turned out to be instances of friendly rendezvous. On the contrary, his evening plans with Gracie seem to be of a different shade. Now, we wait to hear the real deal from the horse's mouth.
