Hayley Williams from Paramore — her mom was my 6th grade teacher and Hayley used to come visit us all the time and perform for us and gave us autograph cd’s from her band back then.
shrubs_of_north_america: My brother went to high school with the lead singer of paramore. Apparently she had no friends and spent all her time playing music . Checks out seeing as she’s a multi millionaire musician now tbh

My husband was close friends with NF the rapper. They grew up together, went to church together, hung out a lot etc. I’ve met him, he’s super down to earth, genuinely a really good guy and deserves all the good fortune and fame.
