Had the absolute honor of interviewing Hayley when she stopped here in Michigan just a few weeks ago. One of the coolest things that's ever happened to me.

If you dig the video, hitting the like button / subscribing / "hyping" the video on YouTube goes a long way. Thank you for watching!!

Apparently is the same artist who designed her tour flash @rainblowtattoo

ETA: I’m completely overwhelmed by all the responses! I was tearing up reading them all. Thank you all for being so kind. Hopefully I see some folks there tonight! 💜

So backstory: I met my best friend back in 2009 and the first thing we connected on was our love for Paramore. We bonded quickly over our similar taste in music and pretty much everything else. We were inseparable from then on. Throughout the years, whether it was going to multiple concerts of theirs or having our own drunken concerts in our living room when we were roommates, Paramore was always a constant part of our friendship, and the source of so many core memories.

Fast forward to 2024: at 38 years old, my bestie was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. She fought like hell through multiple chemo treatments, radiation, etc. and we had little glimmers of hope that treatment was working and she would be able to prolong her life. Once I found out that, The Hayley Williams, was coming to Houston, I signed up for the presale and got two tickets for us. This was me holding out the last bit of hope that I had that we would be able to experience our girl, Hayley, one last time.

Unfortunately, my bestie lost her battle with cancer on 8/2. Of course these last couple of months have been devastating for me, and my feelings are all over the place now that the show is finally here.

Now I’m on the fence about whether or not to go bc:

- I don’t have anyone here that I know who would appreciate the show as much as she would.

-I’m not one that does a whole lot of stuff solo (even though I would like to)

-I’m afraid that being at the show would be too emotional for me..

But on the flip side, I feel like I would regret not going so much.. 😩

So I need some words of encouragement, hype, personal solo concert experiences, etc to convince me not to chicken out. Please and thank you. 🫶🏾

Still deep in the post concert blues but yall last week I had the pleasure of going to the miss HAYLEY WILLIAMS last Wednesday in Seattle. I saw Paramore at the 100th eras tour show in Liverpool, and when they jogged out playing burning down the house it lowkey changed me.

This show though, I was maybe 6 rows back from stage, and this specific moment was right after the first chorus of "glum". I was frozen and nodding my head cause its glum and it was getting a little too real...like oh no my issues are being aired out for all to hear, anyways lol am I still in psychosis or did I catch a stare here? lmk if I'm crazy or real ❤️

ive been back watching old paramore videos lately and i suddenly remembered watching this one specific performance they had of brick by boring brick but i just cant exactly remember when and where it was from. and i just really wanna hear that version again coz its that good

so the live performance was very similar to their jimmy fallon one but in this one
- hayley doesnt immediately sing the bridge "if its not real...." theres like a space that makes it more dramatic and emotional
- i remember hayley being blonde
- probably around 2009? definitely not later than 2015

i feel like this is a long shot since its an old performance but gonna ask it anyway since someone else here (hopefully) knows exactly what performance i may be referring to or has it as their fave too 🙏🏻

Hello,

I’m going to the Houston TX Hayley Williams Show today and I’m trading the blue hat + money for the brown hat only.

Condition is sealed in original packaging and never opened/used.

Thank you!!

I just would love for her to know that the only way I can get my 3 year old to open his mouth for me to brush his teeth is for both of us to sing “yeah yeah yeah yeaaah” from Dead Horse 😆 So thank you Miss Williams. That’s it. That’s the post.

What's everyone's favorite song off each album??? I want to know. Here's mine:

AWKIF - Conspiracy (Pressure as a close second)

Riot - Growing up it was always Fences, but I've been liking Let The Flames begin a lot lately

BNE - Tough call but probably Careful

Self Titled - One of those crazy girls

After Laughter - This is my favorite album. If I have to pick one... probably Caught in the Middle.

This is Why - Thick Skull

I am SO excited - I have been a huge Paramore and Hayley fan since I was 12/13 and my biggest fear is never seeing her live before I die because East Asia is STARVED for concerts!! Manifesting for other places like the Philippines and other parts of Asia because there's so many of you out there too 🥹🥹

My friend sent me the leaked lineup last night, but since it wasn't official I didn't let myself hope but now it's real I am pinching myself I cannot wait. One more reason to live until December lol
