After her breakthrough in 2020 with 220 Kid, GRACEY has only risen in popularity and grown more into the pop powerhouse she was always meant to be
Despite having a considerably small discography consisting of only a few EPs, GRACEY has made a name for herself and her writing through her contributions for well known artists like Kylie Minogue, Rina Sawayma and Anne-Marie. So, it was about time that she got the spotlight and what better way for it to happen than playing a sold out UK tour.
GRACEY has opened for many artists this year including FLETCHER, Anne-Marie and Mabel, but nothing came close to her performance at Lafayette. From the moment the show began, she kept her whole audience pumped and energised despite most of the audience knowing they wouldn't leave without shedding a few tears.
She started off the show with ‘Don’t’, which set the mood of the show instantaneously, and at that moment we all knew that we would be blown away by the artist. With a stage presence that is unmatched, everyone’s eyes followed her as she ran and did her signature “GRACEY jump” all over the stage.

One thing that sets GRACEY apart from most of the other artists is that you can see the emotional connection that she holds with her songs when she performs and how they mean a lot to her. The intensity at which GRACEY performed never faltered and kept the crowd on their feet throughout the set. The interactions as well with her adoring fans were so wholesome and pure that you could just feel the love and gratitude exuding from her.
In true GRACEY fashion, we were treated to a cover with a twist. Her rendition of Taylor Swift’s ‘Style' on a slowed-down mellow beat sounded angelic, and then just before the iconic bridge she transitioned into ‘Adore You’ by Harry Styles which swept us away. As another concert goer said, “she catered to all the girlies” with the amalgamation of the two songs.
The performer has used this headline tour to tease a song in the works called “Happy Birthday”. In this, she talks about having that one opportunity a year to message that one person you shouldn’t as it hurts too much and we only hope that it drops on streaming platforms soon so that we can cry to it in our showers!
GRACEY wrapped up the show with two of her biggest and most upbeat songs and the sea of heads just let loose, letting all their inhibitions and anxieties wander away for those moments. We knew we were leaving with so many core memories from a night that we could not get enough of.
After the show, she also made an appearance outside where she did a mini meet and greet during which her fans, in resounding words, told her how amazing the show was. The world needs to be ready, because the day GRACEY starts selling out arenas and not just these smaller venues is not too far away!
