‘An Incredible Moment’: Paramore Expresses Gratitude To Taylor Swift For Inviting Them To Eras Tour; ‘We ‘Loved Playing For Swifties’

As a seasoned lifestyle enthusiast with a penchant for music, I must say that the collaboration between Paramore and Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour was nothing short of electrifying. Having followed both artists’ careers since their humble beginnings, it was truly heartwarming to witness the bond they share come alive on stage.


Paramore wrapped up their opening act stint for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, kicking off March 17, 2023, and concluding August 20, 2024. After their last show, the pop-rock band expressed gratitude on Instagram to Swift and her fans for an incredible journey.

On March 17, 2023, Paramore commenced their role as the opening act for The Eras Tour at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. They performed in numerous venues across North America and Europe.

The band joined Taylor Swift on tour, playing concerts in Stockholm, Madrid, Dublin, Amsterdam, Zurich, Munich, and London. On the 20th of August, 2024, they wrapped up their tour with a final show at Wembley Stadium in London.

The experiences shared with fans and the appreciation for Taylor Swift’s songwriting narrative were standout aspects of our tour journey. On Instagram, Paramore conveyed their gratitude by saying: “Dear @TaylorSwift, Thank you for inviting us to be a part of such an extraordinary chapter in your personal and professional life,” they wrote alongside a picture of Swift. “We enjoyed performing for your fans, the Swifties, and we were captivated watching you share your life story through this concert.”

During their entire tour, Paramore shone brightly in numerous instances. One particularly memorable moment occurred when Hayley Williams surprised everyone by performing alongside Taylor Swift at Wembley Stadium on the 22nd of June, 2024.

The duo performed Castles Crumbling from Swift’s album Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). Swift had previously hinted at this collaboration, mentioning her admiration for Williams and their longstanding friendship. 

Prior to inviting Hayley Williams on stage, Swift penned a sincere message: “I reached out to an artist whom I admire greatly, asking her to feature on one of my songs, and incredibly, she agreed. London, we are truly fortunate as I managed to get Hayley Williams for this show.” This collaboration left both artists and their fans with unforgettable memories.

In 2008, Swift and Williams crossed paths at the Grammys when they were both up for the Best New Artist award. As time passed, their bond deepened, with Williams referring to Swift as a cheerful and supportive friend.

During an interview with PEOPLE in 2023, Williams reminisced about a time when Swift had phoned her, offering support as she found it hard to focus, share amusing remarks, and dispense sound advice that seemed like well-crafted song lyrics.
