Hayley Williams, lead singer of Paramore, has expressed her admiration for Taylor Swift’s most recent album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department.’ On Monday, April 22, the 35-year-old singer took to Instagram Stories to share her thoughts on the album, saying it was ‘impressive’ and that Swift’s storytelling abilities had particularly captivated her.
Williams captioned her post with an image of the album artwork and wrote, ‘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.’ She added, ‘I’m so ready to be tour-mates.’
In the same post, Williams also mentioned other artists she had been listening to, including Radiohead, The Smile, Blonde Redhead, Idles, Bee Gees, Beyoncé, and Rufus Wainwright.
Williams and Swift have been friends for many years, having first met when both were nominated for the Grammy award for Best New Artist in 2008. Williams has frequently spoken about Swift’s unwavering support and loyalty, particularly during difficult times.
