1:29:45Now PlayingThe Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams goes deep on how the drama and evolution of her beloved, long-running band — now independent after two decades on a major label — shaped her third solo release, “Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party,” and what might come next.
“I don’t typically like to do the thing that people expect or want me to do,” she told Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli, the hosts of Popcast. “I think that’s probably not always a great thing about me. So I did feel a bit defeatist about finally giving into this thing that I had been resisting, like, my whole life."
Williams earned her first Grammy nominations as a solo artist, in rock and alternative music categories, ahead of the 2026 Grammy Awards.
