"Hayley Williams is happy to confirm that Morgan Wallen is the "racist country singer" she is referring to in her song " Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party." During a recent interview on the New York Times' " Popcast" to discuss her latest solo album, the Paramore lead singer was asked whether she would like to "name names" to reveal who she means when she sings about being "the biggest star / At this racist country singer's bar" in the title track. "It could be a couple but I'm always talking about Morgan Wallen," Williams said. "I don't give a s-. Find me at Whole Foods, b-, I don't care.""
"In 2021, Wallen was caught on video drunkenly using a racist slur. The Grammy-nominated country star's This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen, named after one of his songs and paying homage to his upbringing, opened in Nashville last year. ( Video of Wallen's 2024 arrest for reckless endangerment is making headlines again this week too. In police bodycam video obtained by the Associated Press, Wallen denies throwing a chair off a Nashville bar's roof but apologizes for "caus[ing] problems." He took a plea deal after being charged in the case and was sentenced to seven days' incarceration at a DUI Education Center, two years' probation, a $350 fine and payment of court fees.)"
Hayley Williams confirms Morgan Wallen as the "racist country singer" referenced in her song "Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party" and states she does not mind naming him. Wallen was recorded in 2021 using a racist slur and later opened This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen in Nashville. Video and reporting about his 2024 reckless-endangerment arrest show him denying throwing a chair while apologizing for "caus[ing] problems," and he accepted a plea deal that included short incarceration, probation, fines, and court fees. Williams was born in Mississippi, moved to Tennessee as a child, and addresses religious hypocrisy and her political beliefs in recent music.
