Hayley Williams doesn\u2019t mind calling out Morgan Wallen. In a new interview with The<\/em> New York Times<\/em>, the Paramore frontwoman revealed that Wallen \u2014 who was filmed hurling the N-word back in 2021 <\/a>\u2014 is the inspiration behind a lyric she wrote referencing a \u201cracist country singer.\u201d<\/p>\n On their Times<\/em> podcast, journalists Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli asked Williams for the identity of the musician she was referring to on \u201cEgo Death at a Bachelorette Party<\/a>,\u201d a track from her third studio album<\/a> of the same name, during which she sings, \u201cI\u2019ll be the biggest star at this racist country singer\u2019s bar.\u201d<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n In response to the question, Williams was clear: \u201cIt could be a couple, but I\u2019m always talking about Morgan Wallen, I don\u2019t give a shit.\u201d<\/p>\n After a few giggles from Caramanica and Coscarelli, Williams continued: \u201cFind me at Whole Foods, bitch! I don\u2019t care. I just don\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the episode, Williams shared how important it is for her to speak about race-related issues. \u201cI\u2019m never not ready to scream at the top of my lungs about racial issues. I think it\u2019s so intersectional that it overlaps with everything from climate change to LGBTQIA+ issues,\u201d Williams said on the podcast, later adding: \u201cWhen you\u2019re passionate about something and you really believe in something, and have the will to spread that, yeah, talk about it.\u201d<\/p>\n During the interview, Williams also opened up about some of the lyrical references on her new album, including on \u201cTrue Believer,\u201d where she references \u201cStrange Fruit\u201d by Billie Holiday. The singer also talked about an area of Franklin, Tennessee, which she said a formerly enslaved man bought from his former enslaver.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s still there and it\u2019s protected now. Franklin and Nashville are being gentrified all the time,\u201d Williams said. \u201cI\u2019m really proud of the fact I wrote about my city, and I was also able to inject some of this history I\u2019m aware of, and feels really important to pass on. I just felt like a real lyricist when I finished that.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
