Hayley Williams did not hold back when she was asked about a song on her new album “Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party,” while appearing on The New York Times’ Popcast this week.
The Paramore frontwoman was asked about a lyric on the title track for the album that goes, “I’ll be the biggest star / in this racist country singer’s bar.”
Williams said there “could be a couple,” before she threw caution to the wind and went in.
“I’m always talking about Morgan Wallen,” she said. “I don’t give a (expletive).”
And if Morgan is angry about that, she had a message for him.
“Find me at Whole Foods, (expletive), I don’t care,” she said.
Entertainment Weekly said Williams previously said that Wallen’s bar in Nashville is her least favorite establishment there.
“When you open a business, you don’t just put your name on it,” she told Stereogum. “Like you come up with something, right? It can have your DNA in it, but I don’t understand the bars that are just people’s names.”
The racism knock on Wallen didn’t come out of thin air.
The singer faced criticism when he was caught on camera in 2021 using a racist slur. Entertainment Weekly said the video showed him using the N-word outside of his Naville home.
He later apologized for the slur.
“I appreciate those who still see something in me and have defended me,” he said. “But for today, please don’t. I was wrong. I fully accept the penalties I’m facing.”
