In the interview, Abrams discussed working with fellow singer Taylor Swift on the song "Us."
"We had gone to dinner. We drank a lot; we were talking about our lives and our albums and got really excited about all of these stories. She was like, 'We have to go home and listen to the songs,'" Abrams said.
"We went home and we wrote 'Us,' based kind of off the conversations we had at dinner," she added.
Abrams had nothing but praise for Swift, calling the pop star "extraordinary."
"She's as extraordinary a friend and mentor as she is an artist and a writer," she said. "She's really just the best."
