Phoebe Bridgers is thought to have unpacked the end of her engagement to Paul Mescal, as well as his relationship with Gracie Abrams, on her new album.11:00, 06 Aug 2026Updated 11:01, 06 Aug 2026Phoebe Bridgers has the world waiting for her new album, Lost Weekend, in which she finally unpacks the end of her relationship with Paul Mescal.‌The 31-year-old’s upcoming release comes six years after her last solo efforts with 2020’s Punisher, and a lot has changed, including her engagement and subsequent split with the Normal People star, 30, and her current romance with Bo Burnham.‌Despite keeping her private life tightly under wraps in this time, early reviews for the record suggest that drew on these experiences in the lyrics, including one particular line that could be interpreted as a swipe against Paul’s new girlfriend, fellow singer Gracie Abrams, 26.‌According to the Independent, lyrics for the titular track detailing her split include: “I’m supposed to be married, but I called it off.

During an interview with the Rolling Stone last year, he was questioned about the moment that they decided to go public, after weeks of speculation over their status.“I don’t know how to answer that,” he admitted. “I actually do have an answer, but everything to do with that is deeply precious to me and I don’t want to.…Article continues below“I want to protect those things fundamentally.”Lost Weekend is released on August 14.Like this story?
