Here's Every Band Hayley Williams Tweeted About In 2016
5 December 2016, 17:05 | Updated: 30 December 2019, 14:47
Spoiler: there's a lot of them.
When we originally came up with the idea of writing down every band Hayley Williams tweeted about in 2016, we hadn't fully appreciated a) how much music Hayley shares on a daily basis and b) how cute her dog is. Both of these facts have only strengthened our belief that Hayley is one of the best people to follow on Twitter. Long may she reign/tweet.
We had a number of revelations while strolling through Hayley's feed. Firstly, Hayley is a fully paid up member of the Skeleton Clique/Josh Dun Hun and has no shame in sharing how much she loves them. Secondly, she is OBSESSED with Jimmy Eat World - we wouldn't be surprised if she has started a fan club back in Nashville tbh. And finally, and perhaps most importantly, she is constantly repping the various creative ventures of her friends, which is hella cute.
As we couldn't embed every tweet (it would literally take a million hours to load) we've picked out a few favourites from each month and tagged the rest. Alright, let's do this...
January:
Taylor Swift
Best fake front-flip + maniacal laugh goes to.... THE CRIMSON CURSE! Thx @taylorswift13 ;) #BadBlood pic.twitter.com/D77fUkYbJX

David Bowie
RIP DAVID BOWIE. Thx for showing me that you can live many lives inside one lifetime. A lot of hope in that. Ps, You remind me of the babe.

Hayley didn't do too much tweeting about music in January but, tbf, Bowie died so what else was there to say, really? Sad times.
February:
In a very bizarre turn of events, Hayley did *NOT* tweet about a single band in February. So here's a very cute picture instead:

Hayley started to get into the swing of things in March and was also showing extra love to New Found Glory, Tegan & Sara and mewithoutYou, who all make numerous features on her feed for the rest of the year (and probably 2017 too!)
April:

Prince
We were writing Ain't It Fun & I was putting synths on the pre-, I said to T, "I want it to sound like Prince!" His inspo transcends genre.
— hayley from Paramore (@yelyahwilliams) April 22, 2016
To cope with the passing of Prince, Hayley found solace in the music of Jimmy Eat World, Zedd, Garbage, Natalie Taylor, Underoath, Katelyn Nacon and...Twenty One Pilots (obviously).

Mostly about MCR
— hayley from Paramore (@yelyahwilliams) July 20, 2016
In a month where Hayley revealed she sings along to Mariah Carey (!) before recording vocals, she was also tweeting about Balance and Composure, Sugarcubes, The Undertones, U2, Braid, Jimmy Eat World and Descendents. Iconic.
