Hayley Williams reveals identity of the ‘racist country singer’ in her song



Morgan Wallen is the only exception.

Typically, Hayley Williams keeps mum over the identity of who she’s alluding to in her music, but this time the Paramore rocker, 36, didn’t hold back.

Williams confirmed that her new track, “Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party,” is about the 32-year-old country star.

The lyrics read, “I’ll be the biggest star at this racist country singer’s bar.”

“It could be a couple,” Williams teased about which country singer she is referring to on Tuesday’s episode of The New York Times’ “Popcast” podcast, “but I’m always talking about Morgan Wallen, I don’t give a s–t.”

Williams stood her ground, cheekily noting, “Find me at Whole Foods bitch, I don’t care.”

The Post has reached out to Wallen’s rep for comment.

This isn’t the first time Wallen has come under fire by fellow celebs.

Kelsea Ballerini and Maren Morris previously called out the “Cowgirls” artist after footage of him saying the N-word in 2021 surfaced.

Ballerini, 32, wrote on X at the time, “The news out of Nashville tonight does not represent country music.”

Morris, 35, also stated that Wallen’s actions didn’t surprise her. 

“It actually IS representative of our town because this isn’t his first ‘scuffle’ and he just demolished a huge streaming record last month regardless,” she said on X. “We all know it wasn’t his first time using that word. We keep them rich and protected at all costs with no recourse.”

Wallen, meanwhile, took responsibility and apologized, saying in a statement at the time: “I let so many people down. I let my son down, and I’m not okay with that.”

Afterwards, the superstar met with several black music industry leaders as well as organizations such as the Black Music Action Coalition to educate himself.

“There’s no excuse. I’ve never made an excuse. I never will make an excuse,” he told Billboard.“I’ve talked to a lot of people, heard stories [about] things that I would have never thought about because I wasn’t the one going through it.”

“And I think, for me, in my heart I was never that guy that people were portraying me to be, so there was a little bit of like, ‘Damn, I’m kind of actually mad about this a little bit because I know I shouldn’t have said this, but I’m really not that guy.’ “

In April 2024, Wallen ran into more trouble after he was arrested and charged with three felony counts following an incident at a rooftop bar in Nashville, Tenn., after throwing a chair from the sixth floor of Chiefs Bar in downtown Nashville.

Wallen later spoke out about the incident on social media.

“I’m not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility,” he said, adding he “made amends” with Nashville law enforcement and others.

In December, he pleaded guilty to two counts.

Not everyone in Nashville was put off by Wallen, however.

That same month, Kristin Cavallari spilled details about her fling with the musician.

On Bunnie XO’s podcast “Dumb Blonde,’ the “Laguna Beach” alum, 38, called Wallen a “good guy.” 

Cavallari did, however, agree with Bunnie XO’s comment that he is a “player.”

“One thousand percent. He’s been with every woman on the planet,” she concurred.

The reality TV star said that she wanted a “f–k buddy in Nashville,” and that Wallen is “a great f–k buddy … He was good in bed.”
