AceShowbiz - Taylor Swift's songwriting session took an unexpectedly fiery turn when a kitchen mishap led to an actual blaze in her New York City apartment. The incident was unveiled through a candid video shared by Gracie Abrams, Swift's collaborator on the newly released song "Us". The video portrays Swift deftly managing a fire extinguisher to put out the flames that had erupted on her marble kitchen island.
"Writing this entire song from 2am to 6am was some of the most fun I've ever had in my life. @taylorswift now we know how to use a fire extinguisher. I love you," Abrams captioned her Instagram post, giving fans a glimpse into their dramatic yet bonding experience.
Swift and Abrams had been burning the midnight oil, writing "Us" when the fire broke out. According to Abrams, the blaze started when a candle from their recent dinner party toppled over, igniting the flames.
Unaware at first, the duo's panic was captured on camera when Swift, barefoot and bewildered, asked, "What do I do about this?" Abrams, capturing the entire episode on her phone, calmly directed, "OK you're going to fire extinguish it," amidst her own state of shock.
Despite repeatedly voicing her concerns, "I think we're going to die," Swift took control, extinguishing the fire while exclaiming about the damage, "Our purses are ruined and my shoes and the whole room I think." Abrams, watching and recording off-camera, couldn't help but celebrate Swift's heroics, later calling her a "folk hero."
While the fire extinguisher fumes wreaked havoc on their belongings and left them both coughing, the ordeal ended without serious harm. Abrams, a Grammy nominee for best new artist, used this experience as part of her promotional campaign for her sophomore album "The Secret of Us," which dropped on the same day she shared the incident.
This new record follows her successful debut album "Good Riddance" and continues to build on the momentum she gained opening for Swift's historic Eras Tour.
This unexpected adventure featuring Swift and Abrams is more than just a tale of songwriting and stardom. It's a testament to the unpredictable situations life can throw at us and how even pop icons like Swift can rise to occasion, balancing composure and humor.
