Taylor Swift once quickly put out a fire that threatened to spread to the kitchen of her Manhattan home after a night of writing songs, dinner and drinking, a friend revealed this week.
“She was a legend. I don’t know how she knew what to do at this time, in this state,” singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams said. He told Billboard“We both had terrible coughs for weeks because of the fumes from the fire extinguishers.”
The pair had been up all night finishing Abrams’ new song, “Us,” playing songs from her album, “The Story of Us,” and Swift’s unreleased track, “The Tortured Poets Department,” against each other when a fire broke out in another room. Swift, 24, told the outlet she didn’t notice at first.

She said she danced “like kids in drama club” to Swift’s “But Daddy I Love Him,” and was “lying on the floor in disbelief” after hearing “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.”
She said she later realized she had heard a candle fall over in the kitchen, but the 34-year-old woman assured her at the time that it was probably one of the family cats.
