Gracie Abrams and Olivia Rodrigo are bringing their longtime friendship to Spotify with a new episode of the platform’s Countdown To interview series. Released on July 7 at 9 a.m. ET, the conversation is available exclusively on Spotify and arrives just days before Abrams unveils her highly anticipated third studio album, Daughter from Hell.
The interview features Rodrigo sitting down with Abrams to discuss the making of the new record, songwriting, and the creative process behind one of the year’s most anticipated releases.
One of the biggest moments teased ahead of the full episode comes when Abrams shares Rodrigo’s favorite lyric from Daughter from Hell. Quoting a line from the upcoming album, Abrams recites: “I’m convinced our sinking ship will sing as it goes down, haunting hymns keep echoing afterward in the ground.” The exchange offers fans another glimpse into the poetic writing that has become one of Abrams’ defining strengths.
Spotify also released another promotional clip showing the pair swapping headphones and listening to each other’s latest singles. Abrams reacts to Rodrigo’s “Stupid Song,” while Rodrigo listens to “Look at My Life,” the second single from Daughter from Hell. Their candid responses and playful chemistry have quickly circulated across social media, highlighting a friendship that has continued to resonate with fans since Abrams joined Rodrigo on the SOUR Tour in 2022.
The timing of the interview is no coincidence. Abrams is preparing to release Daughter from Hell on July 17 through Interscope Records, following the success of The Secret of Us. The campaign has already produced the singles “Hit the Wall” and “Look at My Life,” while the recently announced Look at My Life Tour will begin later this year.
Rodrigo is enjoying another blockbuster album cycle of her own. Her third studio album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in June with 485,000 equivalent album units, becoming her third consecutive chart-topper. Singles including “Drop Dead,” “The Cure,” and “Stupid Song” have continued to dominate streaming platforms.
