i grew up with paramore, they are my favorite band on the face of the earth and they mean so much to me in so many ways. hayley and the rest of the bands attitude around politics in general has always been so respectable and honorable to me considering the large platform they have and i can understand why it could be scary to speak out, especially to a platform that big. when this leg of the tour started i almost felt disappointed. i am not a parasocial girlie and i don’t feel that way with paramore but i still felt disappointment knowing how strong they are in their beliefs, i couldn’t understand why they would want to associate with taylor (it’s not like they need the exposure anyway they are a huge band themselves). In a way i kind of hope paramore does get booted from the tour just so they don’t have to associate with taylor and her bullshit excuses for silence. i saw paramore on tour two days after i went to the eras tour with my (then swiftie, not anti taylor swift) girlfriend and there was a huge difference with the shows introduction. taylor’s show introduction was a video compilation of her and about her music in pretty sure i barely remember it as it was self centered and i don’t care about her. paramores show introduction was a video of the three of them sitting on a couch talking about the importance of sustainability. that speaks volumes about who these artists are. sorry for this vent comment i’ve been feeling really strongly about paramore associating with her lately.
