Gracie Abrams SLAMMED for smoking cigarette after reaching new milestone in Paul Mescal relationship
Several X users including @Nataliasliife quoted lyrics from the 25-year-old singer's 2021 single Camden while reacting: 'At least I'll never turn to cigarettes / my brother shielded me from all of that / He said that smoking was a killer.'
X user @eth3rchouchou shared a grisly, anti-smoking PSA captioned: 'Let's think about our choices, Gracie.'
X user @j41r3z3n was concerned over Abrams' two-and-a-half-octave mezzo-soprano pipes, tweeting: 'Can't afford to smoke with that voice.'
'Smoking? This explains her out of breath performances,' X user @alohavera1 scoffed.
'She takes her career as seriously as we would imagine nepo babies to.'
X user @xpremiumgroup tweeted his 'hot take' writing: 'Stop promoting smoking cigarettes as something cool and trendy.'
Meawnhile, X user @Marsspace17_ defended the two-time Grammy nominee: 'The people dragging Gracie Abrams for simply smoking a cigarette at a festival should know most of their pretentious male actor or artist faves are legit hardcore drug addicts behind the scenes, who will end up broke while Gracie stays pretty and her career continues to thrive.'
Gracie - who boasts 10.8M social media followers - appeared to finally confirm her romance with the 29-year-old Irishman in an Instagram slideshow she shared last Wednesday.
Abrams and Mescal reportedly celebrated their first anniversary of dating in June.
Since last month, the Pacific Palisades native has been photographed numerous times wearing a curious band on her left-ring finger.
'The speculation has been kind of mad for the last x amount of years,' Paul lamented to GQ last October.
'I'm not comfortable inviting any access into that part of my life. How I am in my private life is so precious to me because I get very little of it, and it might be public interest, but it's not public-obligated information.'
Gracie wasn't just a Glastonbury patron as she made her official debut June 27 on the Other Stage during the annual music festival, which takes place at Worthy Farm in Pilton.
As Abrams performed her new single Out of Nowhere, her famous filmmaking father J.J. Abrams proudly watched from the wings, and she was also supported there by her brothers Auggie and Henry as well as Mescal's younger sister Nell.
Last Friday, the Secret of Us songstress performed her new single Crazy Girl at BST Hyde Park in London while sporting the same exact Boston Red Sox cap that the Oscar-nominated actor had worn at Glastonbury.

Gracie previously dated Grammy-winning hitmaker Blake Slatkin from 2017-2022, while Paul ended his two-year relationship with three-time Grammy winner Phoebe Bridgers in 2022.
Abrams - who gets 40.4M monthly listeners on Spotify - is next scheduled to bring her 81-date The Secret of Us Tour to Spain's Parc del Fòrum in Barcelona this Wednesday.
The Kamala Harris campaigner - who signed with Interscope Records in 2019 at age 20 - got a big career boost in 2022 opening for Olivia Rodrigo's Sour Tour followed by Taylor Swift's Eras Tour between 2023–2024.
Mescal will next executive produce and portray Lionel in Oliver Hermanus' post-WWI gay romance The History of Sound - hitting US theaters September 12 - alongside Josh O'Connor and Chris Cooper.
The History of Sound currently has a 65% critic approval rating (out of 37 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes after earning a six-minute standing ovation during the world premiere at at the Cannes Film Festival on May 21.
The Streetcar Named Desire thespian will then portray William Shakespeare in Chloé Zhao's 1596-set grieving drama Hamnet hitting limited US theaters November 27 before a wider release on December 12.

Accountant-turned-fireman honoured in song celebrating 200 years of rail
An accountant who volunteers shovelling coal as a steam engine 'fireman' has had her life immortalised in a song for a special BBC series. Working with steam engines connected Joanne Ormesher to her beloved late grandfather and gave her strength during her battle with an aggressive cancer. Now, she is one of five people whose stories have been turned into songs by top folk artists for BBC Radio 2's 21st Century Folk, which this year celebrates 200 years since the birth of the modern railway. The bicentenary year, led by Railway 200, began with a 'whistle-up' of more than 200 locomotives across five continents, and Inspiration, a free travelling exhibition train showcasing the past, present and future of rail, is now touring the country. Ms Ormesher's grandfather was an engineer who made model trains, and she recalls engine parts strewn across his home. But it was not until two decades after his death that she happened upon an iconic steam engine waiting at a local station. 'I thought they were consigned to museums,' she remembers. 'But this was hissing and breathing at the station. It felt alive. I stood at the back of a throng of enthusiasts, and it felt like my grandad was there. 'The smells and the sounds, everything reminded me of him.' Her life changed that day and she began volunteering cleaning engines at a local heritage railway and quickly rose through the ranks to become a fireman. She now volunteers on the Llangollen Railway in north Wales, a journey that can take up to three hours from her home near Blackburn. Starting as early as 5am, Ms Ormesher shovels hundreds of kilos of coal and ensures the train's engine is working correctly. It took her body nearly a year to adapt to the punishing labour. Despite the toil, she often daydreams about being back on the railway while working in the office as an accountant. In 2019, she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, and the railways helped her through. 'I didn't know if I was going to survive, I shouldn't have survived,' Ms Ormesher said. 'But I was determined to get back to firing steam engines. It's what kept me focused. Ten weeks after my treatment I was back at it.' Now in remission, she continues to volunteer as a fireman. Ms Ormesher also strives to pass on her knowledge to the next generation of enthusiasts and champions greater opportunities for women on heritage railways. She said she loved the song about her – Firecracker, by Findlay Napier – and was 'so emotional' when listening to it. The five songs celebrate 200 years since the first steam-powered, passenger rail journey when George Stephenson's Locomotion No. 1 travelled along the Stockton and Darlington Railway. Emma Roberts, programme manager for Railway 200, said: 'The BBC and the folk artists have done an amazing job bringing these five stories to life. 'Joanne's story is inspirational and it really demonstrates the powerful impact that the railways can have on people's lives. 'This is a momentous year for the UK, and it's been wonderful to see so many people getting involved, with hundreds of events happening across the country and the rest of the world.' The songs are being played on BBC Radio 2 this week. On Friday, Jeremy Vine will broadcast live from The Greatest Gathering, a railway summit in Derby. BBC Radio 2's Folk Show presenter Mark Radcliffe said: 'Folk music tells the story of everyday life, with melodies and lyrics that are passed down through generations of families. 'It's been amazing to see these listeners' stories take on a life of their own with these special compositions, written and performed by some of the folk world's most loved artists.'

Rochelle Humes looks radiant as she shares a loved-up album of family snaps with husband Marvin and their children
Rochelle Humes looked radiant as she shared a series of sweet family snaps on Instagram on Tuesday. The former Saturdays singer, 36, shares three children - Alaia Mai, Valentina and Blake - with JLS star Marvin, 40. And showing that she is ever the family woman, Rochelle gave a glimpse into her summer with her adorable family. In on snap, the singer and Marvin looked happier than ever as they posed for a loved-up snap together at the KissStory festival. Rochelle cut a stylish figure in a cropped Miu Miu navy jacket and jorts, while Marvin donned an all black ensemble. Another shot showed the beauty in a photo booth with her children as they posed for fun-filled snaps during a day out at a Jellycat pop up in London. This was followed by a sweet photo of her daughter and Marvin at the diner table as she captured a candid moment. Rochelle also included snaps of her sister Sophie along with some head turning fashion snaps. Alongside the photo dump, the star penned: 'Some summer stuff that's made me a happy girl.' It comes after Rochelle admitted she would be 'lost' if she didn't have 'help' at home, despite previously having a 'bad experience' using a childminder. During a Q&A session with her Instagram followers in April, the star was asked if she has help at home to support her and Marvin when they are busy with work. Rochelle opened up on having two people help her with the kids and her house - her mother Roz Wiseman and a lady called Dita, who she said is also like family. She explained: 'I do have help, I'm going to be honest, I'm not sure I'd be able to spin as many plates if I didn't. 'Obviously the children are in school 5 days a week (Blake in preschool), Marvin hosts radio 11-1 so his hours slot perfectly around the school run. We have an incredible lady (called Dita) who helps with the house. There were also some head turning fashion snaps 'She's like family and has worked with us for years and then my mum helps us SO much, we would be lost without her. I feel so lucky that our nanny is their actual Nan. 'We always try and make sure we are pulling opposite work shifts so one of us is always there! The only time that's not possible is when we record our TV show [The Hit List] and then the children stay with my mum. 'I squeeze as much into school hours as humanly possible and take it week by week.' Rochelle previously shared that she would never use a nanny again after experiencing trust issues in the past. The This Morning host said she relies on her mum Roz to help out with family life, after having 'a bad experience' using a childminder. She told Zoe Hardman and Georgia Dayton on Made By Mammas: The Podcast that it was 'really awkward' to be off work as the nanny would still be around the home. She added: 'I had a bit of a bad experience with like, trust issues and stuff in a previous nanny role before. So, it just didn't work with me.' The presenter previously said planning ahead and taking time out for self care has helped her be a better parent. She told Mother & Baby: 'I just think when things get overwhelming, you just have to try and find time to take care of yourself in all of that. 'I do as much as I can the night before. 'That's just little things just to make me feel like I'm halfway there. 'So whether that's laying out the kids uniforms, or filling up their water bottles because that's one thing down for the morning or even laying out my own outfit.'
