Gracie’s decision to include Perth in her tour comes after Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney left the WA capital off their recent tour dates.
Adelaide also missed out on Swift and the former Beatle on their last tours and the SA capital were recently snubbed by Crowded House, Coldplay and Pearl Jam.
Meanwhile, Gracie will be arriving in Australia after her Secret of Us album made a major splash on the charts Down Under when it dropped in June.
Only her second LP, the 13-track pop record debuted at number one after Grace made her first trip to Australia in January.
She ended up playing a series of sell out shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

Gracie is the daughter of director JJ Abrams best known for his work on the recent Star Wars and Star Trek films.
She previously revealed her dad likely influenced her to pursue a creative career.
‘[Yes] I think it’s inevitable that it did,’ Gracie told V Magazine as she added music is her ‘true passion’ and she needs it to ‘stay sane.’
‘But it’s not like I was telling everyone I wanted to be a pop star when I grew up,’ she added.
‘I’ve always been a really shy person with bad anxiety, and I definitely never wanted to sing in front of anyone.’
However, the songstress was able to overcome her fears, leaving Barnard College after her freshman year to focus on music.
She released her first single Mean It in October 2019 after she signed with Interscope Records.

In July 2020, the bedroom-pop star debuted her first EP Minor, which featured tracks including I Miss You, I’m Sorry and Friend.
She dropped her debut studio album Good Riddance last year.
During a January 2021 interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Olivia Rodrigo told the host that her mega-hit Drivers License was inspired by minor, adding that she was Gracie’s ‘biggest fan.’
Gracie’s mother is public relations executive Katie McGrath, who married Abrams in 1998. She also has two brothers, Henry and August.

Congratulations to Zendaya and Tom Holland as Zendaya announced that she’s pregnant through the scan result she posted as she reveals the baby’s gender. The two announced they would be holding a …. see more
Zendaya has appeared to debunk pregnancy rumors which went viral on social media.
The “Spider-Man: No Way Home” actor posted an Instagram Story on June 15, which said, “See now, this is why I stay off Twitter… Just making stuff up for no reason… weekly.”
It followed rumors that Zendaya was pregnant spreading on Twitter, where a TikTok falsely claiming she’d announced a pregnancy began to circulate. Users appeared to believe the hoax, despite it originally being posted as part of a viral TikTok prank called the “Krissed” trend, where people make false claims about celebrities to bait people into watching a clip of Kris Jenner dancing to “Lady Marmalade.”
On June 13, a user called Ryan Roberts posted a TikTok showing a picture of an ultrasound that looked like a screenshot from Instagram, with Zendaya’s Instagram handle above it.
On Zendaya’s Instagram profile, there is no picture that matches the screenshot in the TikTok.
The 12-second video then cut to a 2011 clip of Kris Jenner dancing and lipsyncing to the “Moulin Rouge” song, with an on-screen caption reading, “You just got Krissed.”
The word “krissed” was used as a synonym for pranked in the video caption, which went on to say, “Send this to your friends to absolutely #kris them.”
Similar videos have gone viral over the past week, and 11,000 TikToks have been posted on the platform with the hashtag “#krissed,” as part of the prank.
Commenters under the original TikTok largely recognized that the pregnancy claims weren’t true, with top comments saying, “I didn’t fall for this one,” and “Nope I was actually prepared this time.”
The TikTok user who posted the video did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
On Twitter, users appeared to believe the pregnancy was real
Shortly after the TikTok was posted, a rumor that Zendaya was pregnant began to spread on Twitter.
The topic “Zendaya pregnant,” was trending on the platform on June 15, with some people suggesting they were shocked or sad to hear the news, and top liked tweets under the hashtag, “#ZendayaPregnant” have hundreds of thousands of likes each on the platform.
Some users recognized that the rumors originated from the “Krissed” trend and were part of a prank, urging users not to believe the claims.
Zendaya’s personal life has frequently been the topic of speculation on social media
Zendaya and her boyfriend Tom Holland have tried to keep their relationship out of the public eye as much as possible. However, last year, Holland told People that he wanted to “take a break and focus on starting a family.”
He added: “I love kids. I can’t wait to be a dad — I can wait and I will, but I can’t wait!”
In February, Holland also shut down reports that he had purchased a home in London, England with Zendaya.
The two Marvel stars were first linked after starring in the “Spider-Man” Marvel Cinematic Universe trilogy together. Last year, dating rumors surfaced after they were photographed kissing in a car.
Holland later told GQ that he and Zendaya felt “robbed” of their privacy by the photograph.
“One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world,” Holland said.
Representatives for Zendaya did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment

Out of respect for everyone affected, Monday’s game has been CANCELED.”
Monday’s Chiefs vs. Chargers Game Urgently Canceled Following Tragic Passing of Chiefs Star
In a heartbreaking turn of events, the NFL announced the urgent cancellation of Monday night’s Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers game following the tragic passing of a prominent Chiefs player earlier today.
The news broke just an hour before kickoff, sending shockwaves through the sports world and leaving fans, players, and coaches in disbelief. According to team officials, the player’s sudden and untimely death has left the organization in mourning, prompting the league to prioritize the well-being of all involved.
“We are devastated by the loss of a beloved member of our team,” the Chiefs said in an official statement. “Our hearts go out to the family, friends, and teammates who are grieving during this unimaginable time. Out of respect for everyone affected, tonight’s game has been postponed.”
Details surrounding the tragedy remain scarce, as the family of the player has requested privacy. However, sources within the NFL community describe the incident as deeply shocking and unforeseen.
Fans who had gathered at Arrowhead Stadium were informed of the cancellation via the stadium’s public address system, followed by a moment of silence to honor the late player. Emotional scenes unfolded as fans expressed their condolences, many leaving flowers and messages outside the stadium.
Players from both teams were reportedly notified of the decision shortly before it was made public. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes were said to be visibly emotional during the announcement.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell released a statement expressing his condolences:
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kansas City Chiefs and the entire NFL family as we mourn the loss of a talented and cherished individual. The NFL will provide its full support to the Chiefs organization and the player’s family during this difficult time.”
The league has yet to announce when or if the game will be rescheduled. For now, the focus remains on providing support to those affected by this tragic event.
Fans and players alike have taken to social media to express their grief, with hashtags like #ChiefsFamily and #RIP circulating widely. As the football world comes together in mourning, it’s a stark reminder of the human side of the sport that unites so many
