The Paramore frontwoman closed her set with a message for US President Donald Trump
Hayley Williams kicked off her latest solo tour, ‘The Hayley Williams Show’ last night (September 3), with a host of live debuts and a Nina Simone cover.
The Paramore frontwoman took to the stage at the iTHINK Financial Amphitheater, West Palm Beach, Florida, to play a variety of songs from her three solo albums. She kicked off with the live debut of ‘Just a Lover’, from her 2021 solo album ‘FLOWERS for VASES / descansos.’
It would be one of eight live debuts of tracks from her previous releases, although the bulk of the setlist was devoted to songs from her latest LP, ‘Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party’, released last year. Album tracks ‘Mirtazapine,’ ‘Brotherly Hate,’ and ‘Parachute’ made up the three-song encore, while ‘Ice in My OJ,’ ‘Kill Me,’ ‘Glum,’ and more were performed in the main set.
Williams also played a cover of Nina Simone’s classic ‘Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood’, and played a snippet of Portishead’s ‘Wandering Star’ during the performance of ‘Simmer’. Before the final song of the night, she said to the crowd: “Be safe, take care of yourself, look out for each other and fuck Donald Trump!”
