Hayley Williams’ music taste is top-notch — and on Monday, she shared some of the albums that have been “keeping [her] company” recently.
Among the albums on the Paramore frontwoman’s list were Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter and Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department, both of which she had sweet things to share.
About Bey’s country LP, Williams wrote on Instagram stories: “I cry at the same part of ‘American Requiem,’ every time. Showed my mom and she got chills around the same time. When Beyonce sings, ‘If you ain...

Dolly Parton has revealed her reimagined rendition of Tom Petty’s song “Southern Accents” for the forthcoming compilation, Petty Country: A Country Music Celebration of Tom Petty.
The song features a prologue delivered by the late Tom Petty himself describing how the moment of inspiration that led to “Southern Accents.” Dolly Parton then provides an emotional, stirring rendition of the song, kept at the same balladeer tempo as Petty’s original. She retains much of the song, though she adds a crucial change to the song’s latter third when belting “Yes I’m proud to be what I am/ A southern girl from a southern town/ I ain’t ashamed, I ain’t ashamed, I ain’t ashamed.”
“I was fortunate enough to get to know Tom [Petty] over the years,” Dolly Parton says in a statement. “He’s such an iconic artist and important songwriter. I’m so honored...

Paramore and David Byrne are joining forces for a special collaborative release available exclusively on Record Store Day 2024.
The 12-inch pressing will be sold only at participating record stores on April 20th. The A-side will feature Byrne’s new cover of Paramore’s “Hard Times,” while the B-Side will contain Paramore’s rendition of Talking Heads’ “Burning Down the House.”
In a tweet announcing the release, Byrne said, “[Paramore] told me that their song ‘Hard Times’ was inspired by Talking Heads, so I learned it and recorded my version of their great song with a horn section. This was fun!”
Paramore singer Hayley Williams previously teased Byrne’s cover, saying: “All I’m going to say is it’s fucking insane. It’s incredible. It’s unreal.”
As Record Store Day’s 2024 Ambassadors, Paramore are also putting out a Rsd-exclusive vinyl pressing of their recent remix album, Re: This is Why.

Paramore entered into This Is Why with the goal of both internal and external interrogation. The album asked complicated questions about the human condition that yielded answers that looked like those on the surface, but, on closer inspection, it turned out to be another layer of confounding inquiries. It opens with the title track, “This Is Why,” which arrived with a music video showing the early stages of Paramore’s existential unraveling. In the newly-released video for the record’s closing track, “Thick Skull,” they finish what they started — even...

The Grammy-winning rock band Paramore slammed Tennessee’s Republican-led House of Representatives and accused lawmakers of “blatant racism.”
The band’s objection stems from the fact that a resolution honoring singer-songwriter Allison Russell‘s recent Grammy win was blocked, while a similar measure for Paramore’s win was allowed to pass.
In an Instagram Story posted on Friday, Paramore announced that they would not accept any acknowledgment or honor from the Tennessee House until Russell is given equal recognition. Lead vocalist Hayley Williams publicly condemned the “blatant racism of our state leadership” and described it as “embarrassing and cruel” in a statement.
Williams explained that state Rep. Justin Jones (D) introduced resolutions to honor Paramore and Russell for their Grammy wins.
However, House Republicans only allowed the resolution to acknowledge Paramore’s win to pass and blocked Russell’s resolution. Russell, a talented musician and songwriter with strong ties to the Folk/Americana scenes,...

Paramore has announced that they “will not accept any acknowledgement or honor from the Tn House” for its Grammy wins after a lawmaker objected to similar honors for singer/songwriter Allison Russell.
The group accuse Tennessee’s Republican-led House of Representatives of “blatant racism” after a lawmaker paused a resolution honoring Black singer-songwriter Russell’s recent Grammy win.
The House Republican Caucus Chair who objected to the resolution honoring Russell, Rep. Jeremy Faison (R-Tenn.), claimed “The resolution wasn’t blocked” in a statement.
“When any member has a question about an item on the consent calendar, it is customary to bump it so there can be a vote solely on that item,” he said. “As a member of leadership, I had several members come to me with questions about the individual, which made it appropriate for us to press pause on that particular resolution.”
Paramore won two Grammys at the 2024 awards ceremony earlier this month.

Following Paramore’s first two Grammy wins, Tennessee Democrat State Representative Justin Jones proposed a resolution to honor the Hayley Williams-fronted group alongside first-time Grammy winner Allison Russell.
However, while the state’s House of Representatives unanimously approved the Paramore resolution, House Republican Caucus Chair Jeremy Faison objected to the Russell resolution and kicked it back to committee.
In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) earlier this week, Jones blamed the GOP members of the chamber for blocking the Russell resolution and praised the artist, who he wrote, “has worked tirelessly to foster an inclusive Nashville through her music and continues to make Black History here in Tennessee.”
In a repost, Russell thanked Jones and Tennessee State Rep. Gloria Johnson for presenting the resolution, calling it a “high honour.”
“That the Tn GOP blocked it, I take as a compliment,” Russell added. “Their bigotry, sadly, is on relentless display.

Paramore singer Hayley Williams has called out the transparent display of racism shown by the Tennessee House of Representatives in blocking a resolution honoring fellow Grammy winner Allison Russell while allowing a similar resolution honoring her band to proceed.
In a statement to The Tennessean, Williams blasted the “blatant racism of our state leadership” while commenting on Republican Caucus Chair Jeremy Faison’s objection.
“For those that don’t know, Allison Russell is an incredibly talented musician and songwriter. Her music spans genres with strong ties to the Folk/Americana scene,” Williams said. “You might have seen her on the Grammy stage performing with the great Joni Mitchell. Oh, she is also Black. She’s a brilliant Black woman.”
Williams continued, “The blatant racism of our state leadership is embarrassing and cruel. Myself, as well as Paramore, will continue to encourage young people to show up to vote with equality in mind.

Paramore have declined a Tennessee resolution honoring the band for their recent Grammy win after the state’s House of Representatives rejected a similar resolution celebrating Allison Russell.
Earlier this week, Democratic Rep. Justin Jones introduced the two resolutions to honor the Volunteer State’s Grammy winners.

How would you handle coming face to face with your attacker? Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choon Ping’s “Femme” takes that very question — and the revenge story that follows — to a new level, as it follows a lauded drag artist (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett) who crosses paths with his homophobic assaulter (George MacKay) in a gay bathhouse months after his terrible attack. What transpires is an unexpected tale of forgiveness, empathy, and yes, even violence.
The official synopsis for the film reads: “With his performances as Aphrodite Banks, Jules (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett) has a place among London’s celebrated drag artists. One night after a show, he steps out to get some cigarettes and is brutally attacked by a man (George MacKay) out with a gang of his friends. Although Jules is able to recover physically, he withdraws from the outside world, traumatized. Months later, he recognizes his attacker by chance in a gay sauna.

Tennessee Rep. Justin Jones (D-Nashville) sought to honor a pair of Nashville-based musical acts for their Grammy wins on Monday (February 12th) with ceremonial resolutions, but only Black singer-songwriter Allison Russell received an objection from a House Republican.
Jones brought forward two resolutions to honor Russell (Best American Roots Performance) and the band Paramore (Best Rock Album and Best Alternative Music Performance). In a procedural move, House Republican Caucus Chair Jeremy Faison (R-Cosby) objected to the Russell resolution.
According to The Tennessean, Faison’s objection meant that the resolution was sent back to committee, “where objected consent items often die.” According to House rules, no debate was required for the move, meaning that Faison was not forced to express his opposition to honoring the folk musician.
While the newspaper pointed out Russell has been a vocal critic of Tennessee Republicans for their anti-lgbtq+ community legislation, so has Paramore vocalist Hayley Williams.

Dolly Parton, ever the symbol of grace and tact, thinks everyone should move on from Elle King’s drunken Grand Ole Opry tribute performance last month.
During a tribute concert celebrating Dolly Parton’s 78th birthday, Elle King slurred her way through a performance of “Marry Me,” singing “I don’t know the lyrics to these things in this fucking town/ Don’t tell Dolly ‘cus it’s her birthday” and later telling the audience “I’m not even gonna fucking lie… y’all bought tickets for this shit, you ain’t getting your money back.”
Speaking to Extra, Parton addressed the incident, and offered some support. “Elle is really a great artist,” Parton said, “She’s a great girl. And she’s been going through a lot of hard things lately. And she just had a little too much to drink. So let’s just forgive that and forget...

I watch a lot of movies, but even ones that stab at my heart rarely make me tear up. "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" is, to quote Hayley Williams of Paramore, the only exception.
Spock (Leonard Nimoy) dies to save the Enterprise and his comrades, taking a lethal dose of radiation when giving the ship's engine a boost. He passes on after a final conversation with his best friend James Kirk (William Shatner). It's fair to say Nimoy was a better actor than Shatner, yet it's the latter who affects me most here. From the way his voice trembles as he yells Spock's name to the quiet heartbreak across his face as he watches his friend's final moments of pain, it's the most empathic acting I've ever seen from Shatner.
So, there's a part of me that will always resent the next film, "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock,...

Hayley Williams and her Paramore band members have a tape they’d like to play for you. Not long after parting ways with Atlantic Records to become an independent rock band, Paramore is teasing a partnership with A24 to release a 16-track Stop Making Sense tribute album inspired by the life-altering album and concert performance by the Talking Heads.

Paramore is singer Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York, and drummer Zac Farro. Recently, the band created a panic among its fanbase when rumors about them breaking up circulated online. The nail-biting occurred when the band removed its website and scrubbed its social media platforms. However, the band has no intention of parting ways—quite the opposite.

All of this together did add up to concerns that Paramore was no more. However, that does not appear to be the case!

Dolly Parton really is a Christmas angel. The icon took time out of the pre-holiday rush for a call with a lifelong fan who’s battling cancer to fulfill the man’s bucket list wish.
Utah resident LeGrand Gold, who goes by LG, was diagnosed with stage four colorectal cancer two years ago. He and his wife, Alice, created a bucket list — or “list of living,” as was scribed on the napkin — to keep his spirits up; at No. 7 was “Meet Dolly Parton.” “I thought, ‘Well, it’s never going to happen,’” Gold told local Ncb affiliate Ksl.
However, after a story about his wish went viral following a devastating turn in his diagnosis, Parton indeed helped Gold cross another item off his bucket list.
“I’m just happy that we got to kind of have our journey together in this lifetime,” Parton told Gold over the phone. “I always...

Some folks weren’t as thankful as they should’ve been for Dolly Parton’s halftime show during the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving game last week. But her younger sister Stella Parton came to her defense in a scathing tweet Sunday (November 26th), calling out those who weren’t pleased with our recent cover star rocking a cheerleader costume.
“I personally thought my big sister Dolly was cute as hell in her Dallas Cowboys cheerleading costume at the half time show on Thanksgiving,” Stella wrote. “To those of you being so critical of a 77 year old kicking up her heels, I say fuck yourself. Shame on you not her.”
In the middle of the Cowboys’ turkey game showdown against the Washington Commanders, Dolly sang classics like “Jolene” and “9 to 5” as well as covers of Queen’s “We Are the Champions” and “We Will Rock You” in support of her new album Rockstar.

At 77 years young, Dolly Parton has earned the highest-charting album of her legendary career with Rockstar. The star-studded rock ‘n’ roll project debuted this week at No. 3.

She previously achieved two top 10 albums, with 2014’s Blue Smoke and 1987’s Trio (her collaborative LP with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris) both peaking at No. 6.
Rockstar was inspired by Parton’s 2022 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and dropped on November 17th.

Inspired by her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, Rockstar is the 49th full-length release from Parton, and features a variety of new originals and classic rock covers, as well as a heap of guest appearances by artists like Paul McCartney, Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Ringo Starr, Miley Cyrus, Chris Stapleton, Debbie Harry, Nikki Sixx, and many more.

Leading up to the Grammy nominations on Nov. 10, Rolling Stone is breaking down 16 different categories. For each, we’re predicting the nominees, as well as who will (and who should) win on Grammy night.

Dave Grohl honored Kent Stax, the late drummer of Grohl’s former band Scream, during Foo Fighters’ set at Louder Than Life Festival by dedicating “Everlong” to the artist. Watch the performance below.
“I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for Scream, and the man whose place I took in that band, Mr. Kent Stax,” Grohl said. “One of the best punk rock drummers of all time. He passed the other day. So this one’s for Kent.”
Scream announced Stax’s passing on September 20th, just one day after the DC hardcore legends announced DC Special, their first full-length album since 1993. According to the band, Stax died after “a bout with metastatic cancer.”
“Kent is the original heartbeat of Scream,” the band shared in a statement. “Though we have had to continue on without him before, we have always known Kent is irreplaceable. He was one of a kind.

Olivia Rodrigo is well-known for writing songs that lead to rumors. A lot of her entire first album, "Sour," was rumored to be about her "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" costar Joshua Bassett, but Rodrigo and Bassett have never actually confirmed or denied whether that's true. Now, Rodrigo's sophomore album "Guts" is here, and fans once again think she's targeting a star in some of her lyrics. This time, though, that celeb is none other than Taylor Swift.
When asked about the alleged feud, though, Rodrigo denied the rumors to Rolling Stone in a Sept. 12 feature, telling the outlet that "I don't have beef with anyone." She did, however, admit that she was "caught off guard" by having to retroactively give Swift and other artists songwriting credits on some of the songs on "Sour." Here's an overview of what happened.
