Gregory Crewdson Shoots Eerie Promo Art for Phoebe Bridgers' Smartphone-Free Tour

artist · 2026-06-16

Gregory Crewdson, known for cinematic suburbia images, created promotional artwork for Phoebe Bridgers' upcoming 'The Lost Tour 2026'. The tour, spanning nearly two dozen U.S. dates, will be entirely smartphone-free. Crewdson, who rarely does commercial work, made an exception for the Grammy-winning singer. The image shows Bridgers in a vintage turquoise car on a small-town street at twilight, with a blue and pink sky, an old house, and a beam of light. Shot over two days in March in Adams, Massachusetts, the production involved five cranes and the fire department spraying the street for a dreamlike glow. An analog phone booth and xenon lamp reference non-digital technology. Crewdson admires Bridgers' album 'Punisher' and relates to its themes of sadness and loneliness. Fans have already gotten tattoos of the photograph.
