Gracie Abrams Defends Tour Opener Dora Jar After Fan Petition Calls for Replacement

The singer condemned the petition as 'wildly uncool,' reaffirming her support for Dora Jar ahead of their European and U.K. tour.

A fan-created petition on Change.org called for the replacement of Dora Jar as the opening act for Gracie Abrams' upcoming European and U.K. tour, citing unfamiliarity with her music and its slower tempo.
Gracie Abrams criticized the petition, describing it as 'bizarre' and expressing pride in sharing the stage with Dora Jar, whom she called a 'talented wonder.'
Dora Jar responded to the controversy with humor and gratitude, noting the situation has brought significant support from Abrams' fanbase despite some criticism.
The petition, created under the pseudonym Dexter Morgan, has since been deleted, but Abrams and Jar both addressed the issue on social media, emphasizing positivity and mutual respect.
The tour, featuring Dora Jar as the opener, begins February 8 in Madrid and includes stops across Europe and the U.K., concluding in Glasgow on March 12.
