Phoebe Bridgers' 'Lost Weekend' Album Sparks Relationship Speculation Involving Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams

An early review of Phoebe Bridgers' forthcoming album *Lost Weekend*, slated for release on August 14, 2026, highlights several lyrics that fans interpret as references to her former partner Paul Mescal and his current girlfriend Gracie Abrams. The song “The Governor’s Waltz” includes the line “She can pretend to be me. Since she took my place in my bed, on that stage,” which many online commentators link to Abrams, while the title track’s lyric “I’m supposed to be married, but I called it off” revives rumors of a past engagement between Bridgers and Mescal.

Neither Bridgers nor Mescal has confirmed the interpretations, and both have kept their personal lives private. The speculation has resurfaced ahead of the album’s launch, drawing attention to the artists’ previous two‑year relationship that ended in 2022 and Mescal’s subsequent dating of Abrams in 2024.
