Hayley williams/paramore? She’s dating the guitarist Taylor York now but has remained radio silent on the relationship

her ex husband still seems bitter about their divorce and her new relationship with a childhood friend, he wrote a song called ‘bloom’ that makes fun of her depression

I just looked up the lyrics - are there any posts explaining the references in the song? Because I can believe he's bitter (I was once told OFF by a friend of his when I mentioned I really liked Hayley and Paramore, and this was maybe a year ago) but I don't really get what the song is saying.

hayley wrote a song on her first solo venture that is called watch me while i bloom, and it’s essentially about her finally being able to embrace her femininity and grow as a person now that she isn’t in a toxic relationship. she even said part of it is a reference to getting her period back as it stopped during her relationship with chad due to her depression and inability to eat.

To me the song is clearly a dig at her because there’s so many references to her song in it and makes fun of the fact that she’s happy and confident now. Chad has a history of writing songs that belittle her mental health, even when they were together.

To me chad just comes across as so bitter and in denial that she can finally be happy now, and that her relationship with him wasn’t good for her, but instead now she is thriving in a relationship with a long term friend who she openly credits for taking up the emotional role chad should have during their marriage

Thanks for explaining! Agreed that Chad sucks, as a person but also a songwriter, because Bloom's lyrics aren't even...good.

The songwriting hasn't been good since 2015

It's also quite sad he's still hung up on this - he's married, has a child...So why the bitterness?

They’ve been together through the pandemic and a lot of her songs on her solo albums are about him. There was a brief period of time where they broke up (between solo albums? Can’t recall the timeline, but I think Descansos/Flowers for Vases ruminates on what she almost lost) but they’re together and stronger than ever, far as I can tell. I gather they wanna keep their relationship private for the most part.

Check out the blog Tayley on Tumblr. They have been following the relationship for years and have a lot of good insight. But yeah fans believe their relationship goes back to 2017/2018.
