Hayley Williams is clearing up the mystery behind one of her most pointed lyrics — and she’s naming names in the process.
The Paramore frontwoman, 36, revealed during a Monday, September 30 episode of The New York Times’ Popcast that Morgan Wallen was the inspiration for the title track “Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party” off her new album. The song includes the line, “I’ll be the biggest star, at this racist country singer’s bar,” which quickly caught fans’ attention.
“It could be a couple, but I’m always talking about Morgan Wallen, “I don’t give a s**t. Find me at Whole Foods b**ch, I don’t care,” Williams bluntly stated in the episode.
This isn’t the first time Williams has criticized the country star or his business ventures. In an August interview with Stereogum, which was shared to Instagram, she dismissed the Nashville bars owned by country musicians while discussing the new track, saying, “There’s really no good ones. I don’t have one. My favorite country music artist’s establishment? Yeah, no. Pass, hard pass to all of them.” When pressed to name a least favorite, she singled out “Morgan Wallen’s spot, whatever it is.”

Fans in the comments of that clip were quick to either support the pop-punk songstress, or come to Wallen’s defense.
“Hayley out there repping the real Nashville,” one declared.
Another stated, “hell yea f morgan wallen.”
“Everyone uses Morgan Wallen for their 10 seconds of fame,” said a third.
Another commented, “Morgan Wallen is a true musician.”
Wallen, 32, has faced controversy in recent years. In 2021, he was caught on camera using a racial slur, which led to his suspension from Big Loud Records and temporary removal from streaming platforms and radio stations. He later apologized, saying, “I was wrong. I fully accept any penalties I’m facing.” Despite the backlash, he made a comeback the following year, winning Album of the Year at the 2022 ACM Awards.
As for Williams, she joked about someday opening her own space. As she told Stereogum, “My friend Brian and I have joked for years that we were gonna open a bar called Scissors for the community… We need more gay bars in Nashville.”
