Gracie Abrams Is Being Defended After She Was Accused Of Leaving Gifts From Fans At An Arena To Be Thrown Away
People are divided after Gracie Abrams apparently left a bunch of gifts she received from fans during a concert at the venue to be thrown away after the show.
For context, 25-year-old Gracie is currently in the middle of her The Secret Of Us tour, and after her performance at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, last week, somebody who worked at the venue shared photos of the pile of stuff that Gracie had seemingly left behind.
This included multiple stuffed animals, several scrapbooks and handwritten notes, a T-shirt with messages written on it, a crochet handbag, and a copy of Gracie's own CD. On one of the photos, the worker wrote: 'feel so bad throwing all this out 😭😭'

The pictures soon made their way over to X, and Gracie's fans were quick to express their disappointment. One popular tweet read: 'I would rather Gracie not accept any gifts if she's going to do this cause it hurts more then someone not being able to give it to her.'
Somebody else wrote: 'i totally understand gracie can't take everything she gets gifted at shows cause she gets given A LOT but seeing the photos of the left behind stuff with the crocheted gifts and scrapbooks which people probably put a lot of love and effort into does make me a little sad for them.'
While another said: 'oh this is sad as fuck.'

However, others have since leaped to Gracie's defense as they pointed out that she realistically can't keep everything that she is given on an 81-date tour. TikToker @sipteawithmelissa was among the people to defend the star, and she uploaded a video that has been seen over 700k times and racked up 10s of thousands of likes.

'I actually think this is really unfair on Gracie Abrams,' she began, pointing out that there are multiple videos online of Gracie appearing "super grateful" as she shares a moment with fans while receiving gifts during her show.
'But this is the level of gifts that she just received at one tour date,' the TikToker pointed out in reference to the photos. 'Imagine all the things she'd accumulate from all her tour dates if she took them with her.'
They then speculated that 'all the big singers do the same thing,' concluding: 'It's not a case of being ungrateful. It's just a case of security, being practical, and not being able to take all the stuff with you.'
And the vast majority of people agreed in the video's comment section, with one writing: "The people that think celebrities want gifts from them are the problem, not the celebrities.'
'I don't get what fans expect her to do with all that stuff?' another popular comment reads.
Somebody else added: 'My honest opinion, the gifts are more for the fans than the artist. I know fans mean well but no singer needs their 50th fan scrapbook, let's be real.'
One more echoed: 'People get so mad, you've given her one gift, but collectively she's been given thousands. What on earth is she going to do with all the stuff.'
And another suggested: 'Honestly fans should trade things they've made w other fans. Not realistic for an artist to accept every single gift they receive.'
BuzzFeed has contacted Gracie's rep for comment. In the meantime, what do you make of the situation? Let me know down below!
