Hayley Williams on Paramore in most streamed rock category: "I hope to see more women, more LGBTQ+, and black/brown talent"
Paramore have recently entered the Top 20 Most Streamed Rock Acts of All Time on Spotify.
Reacting to news of this, via her Instagram Stories, she wrote: " we are 1 of only 2 bands that include women in the top 20 of all time. of course i'm beyond honored but in my lifetime i hope to see more women, more LGBTQ+, and black/brown talent on this list. also "rock" is funny... are paramore a rock band or not quite 100% pop? what tf are we?"
Elsewhere on her Instagram Stories, Williams reflected on meeting Stevie Nicks, who made an appearance at The Eras Tour in Dublin, where Taylor Swift dedicated "Clara Bow" to her.
Replying to a fan's question as to whether they had met, Williams wrote: "fiiiine i'll answer... yes. I don't post photos without asking first – i'll just say, she's everything you hope for her to be. there isn't a world in which i come close to their magic but she and Christine make me feel proud to be considered a woman in rock. I love u Stevie Nicks!".
Paramore perform their final UK dates on The Eras Tour take place from 15-17 and 19-20 August before they return to the US.
