Singer Gracie Abrams has found herself at the center of social media controversy after sharing a photo of Taylor Swift's ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, in the same Instagram carousel as photos from Swift's wedding to Travis Kelce.

The 26-year-old "That's So True" singer attended Swift and Kelce's star-studded wedding at Madison Square Garden on July 3, where she wore a striking red sequin gown . On Sunday, Abrams shared a series of images on Instagram that included her wedding outfit, childhood photos, and promotional shots for her upcoming album "Daughter From Hell" .

However, it was the fifth slide that sparked outrage among Swift's devoted fanbase. The image was a screenshot from the 2018 film "The Favourite," featuring Alwyn and Emma Stone in a scene where Stone's character attacks Alwyn's . Though Alwyn's face is not clearly visible, fans quickly identified the actor, who dated Swift for over six years before their split in 2023 .

The timing and placement of the image drew sharp criticism. Swifties flooded Abrams' comment section, questioning why she would reference Swift's former partner alongside her wedding photos. "You're weird for adding that photo btw," one user commented . Another wrote, "How do you go to her wedding then post about her ex? No congratulations" .

Fans also noted that Abrams did not publicly congratulate the newlyweds in her caption, which simply featured a tear-off calendar emoji . One critic stated, "I've never unfollowed faster. Not only is that one slide just weird to include when your first slide is her wedding day... But not a single congrats or 'TnT' or basically anything to acknowledge it as her day" .

However, some fans defended Abrams, pointing out that her boyfriend, actor Paul Mescal, is a close friend of Alwyn's . Others argued that Abrams likely offered private congratulations and that fans were overreacting to what may have been an innocent oversight .

Abrams and Swift share a close professional relationship. Abrams opened for Swift during multiple legs of The Eras Tour in 2023 and 2024, and they collaborated on the Grammy-nominated song "Us" . Abrams has previously described Swift as a mentor and safe space for advice on navigating the music industry.

Swift and Kelce's wedding drew approximately 1,000 guests, with Adam Sandler officiating the ceremony . Other celebrities in attendance included Sabrina Carpenter, Selena Gomez, and Emma Stone, who also appeared in the controversial screenshot .

As of now, Abrams has not publicly addressed the backlash or offered an explanation for including the Alwyn image. Joe Alwyn, notably, liked Abrams' Instagram post, adding another layer of intrigue to the ongoing conversation .
