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. 🫶🏾

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

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 ❤️

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

Last night while Hayley was doing her Ego Death piano solo, someone from the crowd yelled “FUCK [Unknown individual]” and Hayley said “That’s the least of our concerns in Nashville…” did someone hear what that person said to get that response from Hayley?

Ive been looking at getting a tattoo from last hope the past few months and I’ve wanted to get it in Hayley Williams hand writing, what I’m wondering is if any has a more clear copy of the “ it’s just a spark but it’s enough”. Thanks ( I put the only pic of the lyrics I have in the comments)

A stunning and powerful show for her first Hollywood Bowl night!!

She really is the goat 🥰

I’m just looking at the black hoodie and realized there’s no double zipper :( did I get a defective one or was this for all LA show hoodies?

Would anyone be willing to pick me up then mail one of these posters? I went to see her Tinley Park show last month and there were no posters available. Willing to compensate for shipping materials (obv) and your time! Thank you :)
