Hayley Williams is returning the love after rapper Doechii gave a shoutout to Paramore.

In an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, Doechii described Paramore as her "introduction to rock music."

"I know that rock music is popular but where I grew up in the South, in my culture and my radius, it wasn't so popular," Doechii explained. "But [Williams] kind of changed my life and my perspective, and I learned about different types of music through Paramore. It made a huge impression on me and my style."

In an Instagram Story reposting Doechii's quote, Williams writes, "This is my laaaadyyyyy [don't] ever hurt her."

"We go all the way back even tho we only ever met one time," Williams adds. "She better win every Grammy too."

Doechii is nominated in three categories at the 2025 Grammys, including Best New Artist.
