Hayley Williams: Last News

Jordan Moreau Hayley Williams, the lead singer of rock band Paramore, and Lil Uzi Vert, the Philly rapper behind “Just Wanna Rock” and more, have been fans of each other for a long time, but it wasn’t until Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden that they finally met. The mutual adoration started in January 2016 when Uzi posted a video of himself on Twitter singing along with Paramore’s hit song “Ain’t It Fun.” At the time, Uzi was still an up-and-coming rapper with a few catchy tracks under his belt, but Williams must have taken note. Over the years, they traded compliments for each other — Uzi named her his dream collaboration and that “there’s no one better than Hayley Williams” in a recent Complex interview, and Williams revealed the two had talked about a collab that never came to fruition — until the two took the stage together in New York City.

Paramore’s recent show in Atlanta, frontwoman Hayley Williams paid tribute to the late, great Tina Turner by interpolating the chorus of her 1984 hit ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It?’ into one of the band’s own songs.The show itself went down at the State Farm Arena last Thursday (May 25), with the tribute coming just over halfway through Paramore’s 22-song setlist. For their performance of the ‘After Laughter’ single ‘Told You So’, Williams swapped the last chorus out for the lyrics to ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It?’. Turner released the titular song in 1984, marking the third single from that year’s ‘Private Dancer’ album.

Paramore have shared a touching message for their longstanding fandom, reflecting on the decade that’s passed since they released their pivotal self-titled album.Their fourth full-length effort, ‘Paramore’ was released on April 5, 2013 via Fueled By Ramen. It was their first album a three-piece following the (rather messy) departure of brothers Josh and Zac Farro – who played guitars and drums, respectively – some three years earlier, and in the lead-up to its release, they described it often as a “statement” on that split.Looking back in a new statement shared on social media, frontwoman Hayley Williams emphasised that making ‘Paramore’ took “a lot of guts and self-determination”, particularly amid rabid fan (and critic) speculation over whether the band could thrive without the Farros (Josh had been an integral part of Paramore’s songwriting dynamic on their first three albums).
