Hayley Williams Doubles Down on Morgan Wallen Hate: ‘Catch me at Whole Foods, B****’
Hayley Williams has a lot of opinions about the music industry, and she doesn’t really care who knows it. The music artist, best known right now for her work with Paramore, is breaking out with solo work. She’s using that attention and recognition to speak out against problems in the industry and is happily calling out individual artists. In a recent podcast appearance, she revealed that the “racist country singer’s bar” mentioned in one of her newest releases refers to Morgan Wallen’s This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen in Nashville.
Hayley Williams confirms her hit song references Morgan Wallen
Hayley Williams is holding nothing back. The Paramore staple has absolutely no qualms about naming names, and she did just that during an appearance on Popcast, The New York Times’ podcast. During the interview, Williams was asked if she was willing to name names regarding one line in her song, “Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.” The line in question,” I’ll be the biggest star at this racist country singer’s bar,” has been heavily discussed since the song’s release.
Williams didn’t miss a beat; she quickly said that she was referencing country star Morgan Wallen, who has a bar in Nashville. She said, “I’m always talking about Morgan Wallen. I don’t give a s—.” before suggesting he could “catch her at Whole Foods” if he has a problem. This isn’t the first time Williams has criticized Wallen. She previously noted that his bar was her least favorite attraction in Nashville, before discussing her distaste for country singers slapping their names on tourist bars in Nashville. The admission didn’t come as a big surprise. Fans largely suspected she was referencing Wallen with the lyrics.
The ‘Last Night’ singer hasn’t commented
Morgan Wallen is staying quiet for now. While his music career has been full of drama, including a racial slur controversy just a few years ago, he apparently isn’t looking for any more. He has made no comment about Williams or the lyrics that are about him. It seems like he’s hoping it’ll go away, and frankly, it doesn’t seem likely he’ll be catching Wiliams at Whole Foods or anywhere else.
Wallen and Wiliams have never publicly crossed paths. Their music styles, social groups, and lifestyles pretty much guarantee they’ll never have any sort of dealings with each other. That is surely the way Williams would like to keep it.
