In the months since Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams' conspicuously distant shopping date in London last July, the Internet has devoted much time and energy to discussing the cosmic union of a successful Oscar-nominated actor and a Taylor Swift-linked singer. songwriters to think about. Since then, they've set fans' tongues wagging with a series of explicit joint appearances: They went on a double date with Mescal's Normal people Co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones and her photographer boyfriend Ben Seed watch Mitski's headlining set at a music festival in the English capital (Mescal is known to be a fan); per Daily MailThey recently enjoyed “a VERY fun trip” in New York City.
