Gracie Abrams, Dora Jar responds to the fan’s petition to replace jar on tour

Gracie Abrams just announced Dora Jar as an opening act for her upcoming tour dates in Europe. In a confusing feature, a fan who plans to participate in February-March-Mart’s legs of Abrams’ secret to the American tour started, a petition to replace JAR as the opener.
