Gracie Abrams and Dora Jar Respond to Petition Criticizing Tour Opener

Gracie Abrams is standing firm in support of her tour opener, Dora Jar, after a petition surfaced demanding the artist be replaced. The petition, which was started on Change.org by someone named Dexter Morgan, criticized Abrams' choice of Dora Jar as the opening act for her upcoming tour. It claimed that the slow-tempo songs of Dora Jar wouldn't energize the crowd, urging for a more "energetic" performer to fill the role.

In a post on January 25, Abrams slammed the petition as "wildly uncool and bizarre," expressing disbelief over the criticism. She emphasized the excitement surrounding her collaboration with Dora Jar, calling herself "lucky and proud" to share the stage with the artist. Abrams urged fans to listen to Dora Jar’s music, whether attending her concert or not, and ended her message with a heartfelt “Dora forever and ever.”

The following day, Abrams posted a screenshot of her comment on Instagram, reaffirming her stance and her excitement to work alongside Dora Jar.

Dora Jar also responded to the petition, sharing her reaction on X (formerly Twitter). In one tweet, she humorously joked about signing the petition while continuing her rehearsal for the tour, showing her light-hearted approach to the situation.

Despite the controversy, both Abrams and Dora Jar have remained united in their support for one another as they prepare for the upcoming tour.
