Hayley Williams, the frontwoman of Paramore, is gearing up for an exciting journey as she joins her longtime friend Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour. Following the release of Swift’s 11th studio album, the two artists are set to hit the road together, with Paramore serving as the opening act for Swift’s tour when it resumes on May 9th in Paris.
Expressing her anticipation, Williams took to Instagram to share her excitement about becoming tour-mates with Swift. “I’m so ready to be tour-mates,” she posted, signaling the start of what promises to be an electrifying collaboration.
The Eras Tour will take Paramore across international stages as they accompany Swift throughout the tour’s itinerary. Williams further showcased her support for Swift by naming her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” as one of her favorites in honor of Record Store Day. Alongside the album’s cover art, Williams praised Swift’s storytelling prowess, remarking, “Had me from the storytelling alone, my friend. Every one of us knows this kind of grief! It’s so impressive to me how specific and colorful Taylor’s words get without ever losing the universal thread.”
This collaboration comes as no surprise, as Swift had previously announced Williams’ involvement in the tour through a heartwarming post featuring a picture of the two friends with their arms around each other. “I get to travel the world doing shows with @paramore!!” Swift exclaimed in her post, highlighting their enduring friendship that began during their teenage years in Nashville.
Their recent musical collaboration on “Castles Crumbling,” featured on 2023’s “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” further solidifies the bond between Swift and Williams, setting the stage for an unforgettable journey on the Eras Tour.
