On Tour With Role Model

It’s a rare thing to see Role Model opening for Gracie Abrams — rarer still now that he’s focusing on his acting debut — but fre not: NYLON caught their two-night run at Madison Square Garden, with a behind-the-scenes look at every Valentino ruffle and surprise guest in between.

In the exclusive shots seen below, the artist (government name: Tucker Pillsbury) can be seen grooving with his Good Sex co-star Natalie Portman, showing off his shiny new Gretsch guitar, and playfully “confronting” his drummer, all while dressed in Western-inspired Bode and a spray of Alessandro Michele frills. “Happy to be back on Miss Gracie’s stage,” he captioned one of the images — and it shows.

Ahead of Pillsbury’s final The Secret of Us dates later this month at Mexico City’s Pepsi Center WTC, relive the joy, the outfits, and one extra-special “Sally” straight ahead.
