"Williams hit out at a 'racist country singer' on the title track of her latest solo album, Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, which she later confirmed was Wallen on The New York Times' Popcast podcast."
"'[They] need protection, and they need allies and support,' she said. 'Back home, we have the same shit. I hate it because I grew up there, and it was so special.'"
"'They ruined Broadway... no shade if you want to travel down there and go honk tonkin', I like that, too, but I hate Morgan Wallen.'"
Hayley Williams extended her criticism of Morgan Wallen during her New York performance by inviting Jason Isbell to duet on his song 'Cover Me Up.' Wallen's cover of this track became a major hit, but his use of a racial slur led Isbell to donate proceeds to the NAACP. Williams has openly condemned Wallen, referring to him as a 'racist country singer' and emphasizing the need for support for marginalized communities. Her tour continues with upcoming shows in major US cities.
