3. Hayley Williams (13th)
Paramore
2. Debbie Harry (7th)
Blondie
1. Stevie Nicks (2nd)
Fleetwood Mac
this photo is beautiful bcs she looks happy and confident, seeing hayley comfortable in a high setting like nyfw after many years of feeling like she cant be in touch with her feminine side is so special <3
nobody is doing it like hayley williams. even when she falls over she starts somersaulting across the stage AND finishes singing the chorus on key this woman is literally indestructable
paramore are so clever for filming an alternative ending for this is why, releasing it at the end of the era and basing the whole concept around thick skull being the retrospective what if? narrative. there are so many metaphors to unpack…
courageous things hayley's done this era:
-played guitar alone onstage
-opened for a stadium
-overcomed fear of all i wanted
-reclaimed TOE69
-stopped apologising for mizbiz
-said fuck the ignorant critics
-fearless & direct talking politics + values
-powered through while sick
castles crumbling more like castles crumb of hayley williams. taylor got her on a vault track and gave her the teensy tiniest portion to sing. wasted potential for beautiful harmonies oh it couldve been bigger than the whole sky :( its still a pretty song but lacks oomph imo
i was one person away from taylors pic😭😭😭ppl were helping look for it for me bcs they could see i was about to collapse but this girl got it and kept it so i just took a pic
im so proud that she gave herself credit for being an incredible frontwoman after playing it down - skipping her own INTRO to counteract the "hayley show" critics. screw them, paramore is a band & hayley motherfucking williams is the singer. she IS a star!!
are we doing that thing where we get all excited for a new era then 2 hours later they announce they’re leaving social media for good and they will contact us via pigeon messenger until further notice
after reading that billboard ranked hayley 13th rock frontperson OF ALL TIME im circling back to this bcs she is so humble abt her status but she truly deserves credit for her impact on the industry
im so proud that she gave herself credit for being an incredible frontwoman after playing it down - skipping her own INTRO to counteract the "hayley show" critics. screw them, paramore is a band & hayley motherfucking williams is the singer. she IS a star!!
genuinely sad how paramore clearly saw a lot of people being very inconsiderate and rude about the san francisco show and had to make an EXTRA long and grovelling apology as if they're superhumans that can control when they're gonna get sick. they're trying their best and care sm
watching the ACL livestream was the first "we're so back" moment of the TIW era for me. a killer festival set, the whole band was firing on all cylinders. sun was shining on paramore's return🌞
the way we just got banger after banger like hello LTFB w outro??? monster???? careful????? all i wanted???? you first!?! BBBB?? for a pessimist???? ignorance!!! told u so??!? hallelujah with intro?!-!!?? OUTSOLD real paramore
Released during the pandemic, Hayley Williams' solo albums didn't get the flowers they deserved.
Deserving more recognition, dive into her underrated projects:
i typed out the setlist for those of you asking! ate left no crumbs😌this was the first time they have done a paramore event :) theres a couple more happening in nyc and SF bay area soon
WHAT THE FUCK THE ABSOLUTELY UNTHINKABLE JUST HAPPENED ??!?!?! HAYLEY WILLIAMS JUST WALKED ONSTAGE IN THE YEAR 2022 AND ABSOLUTELY DEVOURED ALL I WANTED
love that this is supposed to be a chill soundcheck but u can just tell hayley is battling her inner demons telling her to go all out with the dancing and singing. she has to pop her paramussy every single performance
yeah hayley williams and taylor swift took credits from an up and coming pop artist so if anyone needs to give away their eras tour tickets i will happily take them off your hands
I KID YOU NOT I WENT TO PAUSE KALEIDOSCOPE BY CHAPPELL ROAN BECAUSE I SAW INSTAGRAM USER YELYAHWILLIAMS POSTED A STORY AND IT WAS HAYLEY PLAYING KALEIDOSCOPE ON PIANO??!!!.!/!:!:&:!!
HAYLEY DOESNT EVEN HAVE HER EAEPIECE IN HOW IS SHE REAL???? GIRL WENT FROM NOT SINGING ALL I WANTED FOR 13 YEARS OUT OF FEAR TO PULLING THIS ON THE 3RD PERFORMANCE EVER WHAT
