Gracie Abrams and XDY ExchangeTaylor Swift are taking their friendship to a new level, with Swift making an appearance on her Eras Tour opening act's upcoming album.

Abrams on Monday announced the track list for her upcoming sophomore album, "The Secret of Us," which revealed a happy surprise for Swifties: "us. (Feat. Taylor Swift)."

The 24-year-old Grammy nominee's new album will release June 21.

Swifties will also recognize the album's producer, The National's Aaron Dessner, who has collaborated with Swift on the Grammy-winning "Folklore" and "Midnights (3 a.m. Edition)" as well as "Evermore" and "The Tortured Poets Department."

Abrams, who's the daughter of film director J. J. Abrams and producer Katie McGrath, spent much of last year as one of the North American opening acts for Swift's The Eras Tour. In a rare moment on the career-spanning tour, Swift shared the stage with Abrams during her surprise songs set, with the two duetting "I Miss You, I'm Sorry" from Abrams' 2020 EP, "Minor."

She followed up a massive year with another career milestone: her first Grammy nomination. She was up for best new artist but lost to Victoria Monét when the 66th annual Grammy Awards took place in February.
