She grew up in Los Angeles, the daughter of J.J. Abrams (“Star Wars,” “Lost”) and Katie McGrath, chief executives of Bad Robot Productions. She came of age as an artist in and around an emerging pop creative class that included the producer Blake Slatkin, the Kid Laroi and Tate McRae. Her best friend, Audrey Hobert, is a longtime collaborator who has become an emerging pop star in her own right. And Abrams’s witty and confessional whisper-pop has earned her opening slots for both Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo, the current lodestars of big-tent singer-songwriters. And yet all of those things, viewed through a different lens, could be perceived as a burden — an invitation to heavy scrutiny of an artist still early in her career development. Such associations and expectations have made Abrams, 26, sometimes reticent to share too much about certain parts of her life, especially as her star rises with viral songs turned radio hits (“That’s So True,” “I Love You, I’m Sorry”), a Grammy-nominated duet with Swift (“Us”) and a 2024 nomination for best new artist.
