were starting to fade, i thought, well maybe i should write it down. because i kept waiting to mourn everybody. >> jimmy: me, too. >> and i could not figure out why i wasn't, like, wrecked. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and i figured it out. it's because we didn't leave anything unsaid. we always -- we said everything we needed to say to each other every time we saw each other, or every time we spoke. so that's why i couldn't get into the -- "oh, i didn't say" -- i did. >> jimmy: yeah, you did. you said everything. >> yeah, i said. i said it all. and that's why you got to make sure that you tell people while they're living, what they mean to you. because our time on the planet goes like that. and because none of us have expiration dates on our booties, we don't know when it is. so try -- try to remember to tell people you love them. because if they go and you haven't, you're going to regret it. and that's what i'm so glad i'm not doing.

that. >> you need somebody who, like, acknowledges that it's okay for you to be there. and when you're the little sister, you know, you think, oh my gosh. just three of you. but i never felt like i wasn't in my place, with the two of them. you know, my brother came first. he was the boy child. and in those days, boy children were very important. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah. yeah. yes. [ applause ] thank you. >> we -- we love boy children. but you know, when i was little, they always -- you know, they would talk to the boy first. they would always engage. and when my mom got ill, it was during the days when your husband could make sure that you got the treatment that they were telling the doctor -- the doctors were telling them that was needed.

so my mom had two years of, uh, electroshock treatment. and so when she came back, she didn't really know who we were. now, don't, don't. because it worked out.

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ ♪ >> jimmy: gracie abrams. why -- why break tradition and have me sit down first? yeah. >> i don't think that that's how it went, though. >> jimmy: yeah. it was so fun. i had the best time hanging out with you. >> i had the best time hanging out with you, too. we danced. >> jimmy: let's make grandpa dance, yeah. [ laughter ] and then you sat down. >> no, but the reason -- okay, we can talk about it, or not. but in my memory -- >> jimmy: yeah, we had fun. >> we were both dancing. >> jimmy: we were, actually. we did -- >> well, 'cause remember,

because i sat and then you said, "wait." and then i got up and then it was kind of we danced the whole time. because you can't be sitting when it's ariana grande and cynthia erivo. >> jimmy: you can't be sitting. >> you can't be sitting. >> jimmy: no, we were the first people to stand up. >> i think that's probably how it went. >> jimmy: is that probably why you sat down? >> well, i was nervous because from stage right there was a a spotlight coming that was hitting ariana and when she moved -- because of the placement of our table was in the corner, it was hitting -- >> jimmy: it was just on us. >> just me at first, before you stood. and i thought, "that's horrible and no one needs to see me." [ laughter ] so, i sat. and then it all came together. >> jimmy: oh, that's right. then we danced for like 20 minutes. >> we did. >> jimmy: it was a full concert, screaming lyrics and everything. >> it's pretty remarkable being able to be in the same room as voices like theirs. they're just unbelievable, as we all know. >> jimmy: yeah, i thought you were going to say being in a a room with me. but thank you so much. [ laughter ] the voices were great, too. the voices were amazing as well. >> and with you. >> jimmy: that was your first met gala? >> yes. >> jimmy: also, speaking of firsts, you just had your first grammy nomination. your first grammy. [ cheers and applause ] best new art -- best new artist. you go to the grammys.

what are you feeling? are you nervous? do you go, that -- i mean, you know, this is fun. but the grammys, i would freak out. that would make me nervous. >> i felt -- i mean i felt misplaced in my category. i'm such a mega-fan of all of the artists that were in that category. and to be under the same roof as all of them, even once, it was such an honor. and it was so exciting. but it was really emotional, the week leading up to the actual grammys night. i was lucky enough to -- there were different events where we were all in the same place. so actually getting time to get to know the people behind the art -- you know what i mean? >> jimmy: yeah, you meet these people, you hear them on the radio, and you see them and just go, "oh, my gosh." >> but they're just so sincerely unbelievably generous, and kind, and curious, and so warm. and there was such a -- i don't know. the support felt so real that every time i got to meet one of them, i would go home and call my mom and be like, "jelly roll was like -- he better leave

with it. he's the coolest, the kindest." and then coco jones is like the most radiant. and then noah kahan, you're like, "holy [ bleep ]" and then ice spice -- you're just like, "whoa, how does one reconcile with it?" >> jimmy: you're in the club. >> well -- >> jimmy: you're in the club together. you guys are all -- [ cheers and applause ] artists and musicians. >> thank you. >> jimmy: and i know a little about you. i think just from the internet, who knows what is true. but i read that you started out just writing, and you were like, "i'm not sure i even want to perform." >> no, i was terrified of the concept. i started writing songs, or journaling really, when i was like 8 years old because i didn't want to talk to people about feelings. so, i would go and write and journal. and then that kind of led to songwriting. but it wasn't -- the concept of performing to a human being made me terrified. like, the night before my first show, i hadn't played a show pre-covid. so, after quarantine was lifted, we had our first show. it was truly, like, i think

under a hundred people. and the night before, i was, like i'm not -- i'm sorry -- projectile vomiting. so scared. [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: you were that scared? >> yeah. >> jimmy: but then, so you do your performance for 100 people, and you go, "i'll get through it." and then, you go on tour and you open for taylor swift. [ cheers and applause ] and you go -- i mean, what was that whole eras tour like? >> it's so beyond me. i mean, it was the craziest privilege. and we all love her dearly. it's a real master class to watch her do what she does. and it was honestly -- >> jimmy: like what do you mean? master class? >> i felt like i was at college for this job. [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: she taught you stuff. >> i mean, you can't not -- i watched every single one of her shows that i was lucky enough to open for. i think i did 31. i watched from every place possible in each stadium, just trying to pick up on how she is able to do what she does. and she's such a one-of-a-kind person, friend, artist. all the things.

>> jimmy: she's a pro. >> but what she does so unbelievably well in these kinds of rooms is like, sometimes you feel like you're on mars. and then sometimes you feel like the only two people in the stadium are you and her, because she is just so connected to her audience. and the relationship that they have with each other is -- it's really magical. and just to have been in their orbit for a summer was a crazy dream. >> jimmy: yeah. let's talk about "risk." congratulations, pal. this is a big deal. [ cheers and applause ] new song. new album, "the secret of us" june 21st. what's "the secret of us?" [ light laughter ] can you tell us. >> who is the us? >> jimmy: can ou tell us? >> no, i'm kidding. "the secret of us." >> jimmy: yeah. >> well, it felt kind of like this, kind of like the thesis for the entire album. and between, you know, in every

relationship, two people, there's always -- regardless of public or private it is, there's always, there's the alchemy -- there's the secrets that only the two people can know. and sometimes only one person can know. because maybe it's unrequited or that felt like the right title. and to me, it felt like a book title. and even though i, you know, know every lyric in the album, the title makes me want to reread it. i was lucky enough to work with such unbelievable artists, just collaborators, writers, friends on this album. i feel really excited because it's way more extroverted, and that feels like kind of where i'm at right now so -- >> jimmy: congratulations. this is a big deal. [ cheers and applause ] you're performing "risk" tonight, for us. [ cheers and applause ] you can stand, and dance if you want. >> yes, dance. >> jimmy: gracie abrams, everyone. her album "the secret of us" is out june 21st. she's performing her new song, "risk" after the break. stick around, everybody.
