TOTALLY. i always wait for one when I see that there’s an occasion for it on Paramore’s end (a single release or something), ‘cause Zane’s doing the interviews on most of them and every single one of them turns out so therapeutic for both the band and Zane and for audience as well. i could watch them speaking forever lol

Same! I saw Zane for the first time when he interviewed them for After Laughter, and it was the most insightful interview for that album. I loved it! And I made sure to watch all his interviews with Hayley with both her solo projects. I was definitely just as excited to watch this interview as I am for the album. And will probably watch this again after I listen to it. 😂 But I’m a lyric person and like to know the ‘why’ behind a song.

[@towerxoverxme]

omg, it's like we all knew he was a sensitive soul but i had no idea just how deep that ran. he seems to be SO hard on himself. he has no idea how adored and respected he is. i really wish he knew how special he is. but i relate hard to that whole mindframe at the same time too.

My heart pretty much burst at 48:50 where Hayley talks about loving both Zac and Taylor but in different ways 🥹💗 so so so so much love for these 3 people

[@idc9053]

We all know that is hard for Taylor to take a compliment, but it's so great to hear his perspective, him talking about actually never being confident in stuff he does & his insecurities and the way H & Z helping him through this. Loved this part so much and wanted to give him a big hug. And we, fans, really do appreciate and love work he does. If you read it, Taylor, you're genius & we love you. Overall, I had an absolutely amazing time listening to you guys. Can't wait for the album, and hopefully I will dance my ass off during Europeanian tour (nothing better than Paramore show, I swear). Also so, so happy that you guys are in much better place now. ❤❤❤ Much love to you all. [EDIT] Also I forgot but I wanted to say that to me this is the best Paramore line-up ever. Their mutual respect, support & admiration is precious. Also the way they are complementary to one another is just beautiful. Zac re-joining the band was the best thing that could've happened. I know that's old news already but it just always strikes me how essential his presence (along with all his skills, creativity and all stuff, obviously) is for the band to thrive.

I was just listening to this interview with my phone in my pocket while doing the dishes but when 30:13 happened I HAD TO WATCH and leave the dishes where they are. It always draws me in when someone opens up and talks about their current level of discomfort. so good, so human, so relatable, so comforting. the 3 min conversation that followed is my favorite part of this interview.

[@itsrobinyall]

taylor letting himself be vulnerable about his anxiety is so incredibly powerful!! we see all these videos and interviews and i think at some point it becomes easy to forget that they worry about the same things we all do. it was so nice to see this side of both zane and taylor that's real and sincere. as someone who also struggles with similar mental health issues, being able to connect with them in that way felt very freeing. particularly taylor, i mean, knowing that someone i admire as much as i admire him struggles with the same things i do eases a lot of things, it's healing. thank you paramore and zane for this interview :')

[@kalle-demos]

[@megplaysgames]

Zane Lowe is just a fantastic interviewer. I love how he gets music, he gets artists, he's so intelligent and he has such a great amount of emotional intelligence. I think this every time I listen to or watch his interviews, but this interview really showed it. Like, for a start. he made a space where Taylor felt safe to say "I feel really anxious right now" and then he and the band adapted and started to allow him to talk about why he felt like it, and let him have his moment to get it out safely. Then him being so sincere in reassuring Taylor was absolutely what I want to see every interviewer doing. What's more is when Taylor then reveals he has ADHD and he feels like he can't fidget, Zane totally shatters any tense feeling in the room. He let's Taylor know he relates to him, and explains how, and then has that moment where he just exclaims "we're all off our game!" and breaks that tension again so expertly and makes the band laugh. I don't think people appreciate enough how much power an interviewer has, and how you can actually have really good, meaningful interviews where people can be vulnerable without being taken advantage of and it's safe. That's what Zane Lowe does. I just really appreciate him.

[@SoMiSongbird]

I had an idea Hayley and Taylor were close but I didn't know they were in an actual relationship, that's amazing, I wish both of them the best. I can't wait for the new album.

If you want know more, they've been dating since circa 2018. The rumours were flying about people seeing them being affectionate to each other publicly, then Hayley's solo projects happened and both her songs & interviews were very telling, too. But they confirmed it officialy when This Is Why (the song) came out in September in interview for The Guardian.

Watching Taylor diminish his brilliance and Hayley and Zac build him up was so beautiful, and then in turn they did it with each other. Paramore intricately makes decisions about their music but also is so humble about how unique it is to compose and create music, I am so in awe of CCC, TIW, AND The news, they’re immensely talented individuals and as a unit. Hayley’s lyricism is unmatched, she’s attuned to the world and it shows in her words. Hearing Hayley speak about being a healthy relationship was pivotal to me, knowing all that she’s shared about her experiences in the past, this brought tears to my eyes and a big old smile to my face, I love to see her so happy. Hayley’s been a formative figure in many of our lives, especially through paramore, so her and Taylor deserve all the happiness in the world. Zac being back always makes me so happy, his rhythm and boogie juice are absolutely a requirement of this group, and the three of them are so connected to each other through their music and the choices they makes are so MONUMENTAL and change the scene every time!

[@elnr]

zane is the best. can’t wait to huddle down and watch this (and probably cry)

[@carolinehDN]

By far the best interview i seen from Paramore (and i have been following this band since 2007, when i was barely 8 years old). NEVER seen any artist talk about anxiety and all the tough ways to deal with your own personality, accepting compliments, adhd... Taylor really made me smile through the whole interview (and also cry a bit).

[@dylankurtz8423]

Yes incredible interview but I'm starting to not believe in anxiety anymore and 31 now, haven't had a single friend in 10 years, maybe 2 hangouts with people since, never a single relationship or kiss and yet I go out in public 5 days a week with no issue and around many people, I would fit right in on the couch next to Hayley lol. Anxiety is all a mindset and can be avoided. Paramore, Deftones, movies, shows and games get me through loneliness and I also don't believe a car, marriage, a house, and other things are a necessity and I do just fine walking or riding my bike Mon-Fri. Also if I was to have one friend it would have to be a girl because I never had a single good guy friend in my life and my younger bro and nephew are the best real friends I've ever had. Also have followed Paramore since 07 when I heard Pressure for the first time on a Sims game. U have one of the best names for a woman and I feel a happy sense of emotion from your comment and pic alone. Thank u Carolina

I appreciate Taylor spelling out his anxiety for everyone in the room (and us) SO MUCH. Let's stop pretending we're all fine all the time. We get anxious! We get fidgety! We get nervous! AND IT'S FINE. As someone who puts a whole lot of (truly unnecessary) pressure on myself to be perfect, I totally feel where he's coming from. Even if I get straight A's I feel like I could've done better, and I feel like that's Taylor getting a Grammy and still feeling like he's not good enough. Thank you, Taylor, for being so honest and for everyone else for responding to it so well.

[@Olya_Li]

The beauty of this interview is in the way that guys opened up. I remember them always sitting and being shy and rarely talking during interviews. Some people used to blame it on Hayley and said she overshadowed them but it feels more like she was feeling their anxiety and protected them

[@trinemore2562]

Aaah just finished it and I love and appreciate Zane so much, but I do have to admit that it kind of gives me bad chills whenever he mentions HOW anxious and quiet Taylor is. I can relate to T sooo much, I struggle with anxiety too. And I kind of hate when people are putting the spotlight onto introverts too much. I love how they unfroze T, he certainly felt a lot calmer later on in the interview. But he seemed quiet uncomfortable whenever they were like "Oh finally he said something." Know what I mean? Anyway, big fan. Cried a little during the interview and I did love the part where they talked about the anxiety, especially! I think I've never seen that in any interview ever.

[@josmarsolis55]

Totally agree with you with the spotlight thing, I felt it the same way when he said it and Taylor's face went like "oh boy"

[@MissInformed10]

Ugh, this is so true. You think you're in a comfortable space and open up to someone only to be met with "Omg! You're finally talking!" It definitely looked like that comment bothered him :/

[@matthzzz95]

I know I'm way late on this. As someone with severe social anxiety who got that comment a lot in school growing up, I certainly agree and I noticed that as well. We just have to keep in mind that no one ever says all the perfect things, even Zane. I think he was just really excited with how the interview had gone and didn't put the thought into that comment, other than trying to keep things funny. Taylor seemed to feel it for a second, but I think he realizes how well-intentioned and kind-hearted Zane is with them, that he didn't sit with it. Typically when people say something like that, you can tell they just don't understand that level of anxiety at all and are coming from a place of judgment. With Zane it's a little different, because it's apparent that that's not the case, that he empathizes and respects those feelings. Zane did incredible, commendable work with this interview, and I'm glad the band feels they have a safe outlet for diving into their psyches surrounding their albums now. They did another shorter interview remotely shortly after the album release, and Taylor was just heaping Zane with praise and love lol.

@@matthzzz95 I can only agree with you! They seem to have a very close connection to Zane and I‘ve seen the interview part where Taylor was really greatfull about him as well.

[@Taegan345]

This is sincerely the best interview I have ever seen. Somehow Zane is able to bring out the most viscerally honest and unfiltered emotions and testimonies from H, T and Z, and I am forever grateful (and somewhat proud) that the three band members feel safe enough in Zane and their entire fanbase to share their minds with us so candidly. Hearing Taylor talk about his mental health and creative process… I really saw myself in him, and as a musician in their early twenties trying to figure life out, it means the world to me to know my favourite band of 10 years has the exact same sort of creative struggles, frustrations, anxieties and even victories that I experience working in my bands. I feel inspired and encouraged to know that I am not expected to have it all together if I ever succeed in this career. There’s always going to be obstacles in our minds. If these guys can find ways around that, so can I. Big love to Hayley, Zac, Taylor and Zane for capturing this precious hour of footage. This is such a unique insight into the minds of some of the most influential musicians around today. I’m enriched by this. Thank you ❤️

Also how he said he hears lyrics last in songs is so interesting, pure guitarist at heart. His playing absolutely bangs in every song and his guitar playing style is the one of the things that make paramore so special they're all just so amazing together they're a perfect blend ❤

[@nonenone2669]

I gotta be honest, as someone who fell in love with the Brand New Eyes era sound and ultimately made me a Paramore fan, I was worried about this completely new sound. After Laughter was a bit of a change that felt a bit uneasy, but bearable.. Then these two first songs released for this album completely threw me off, and I was expecting the album to be something that I would not be willing to listen to, but holy molly, the album was actually pretty damn good. Loved the whole vibe of the album.

This my most favorite band ever. Their dynamic and respect for each other is incredible. You can see how much they’ve matured and how they’re in such a good place right now. Was at the last concert in Nashville in 2018 and then the one on Monday night at the opry, and the energy was so positive. I love how they really play for the fans and are so heartfelt with their gratitude.

Is Zac whiping away a tear at 48:32? So much love for these guys, such a beautiful, honest interview!

[@tcoker0416]

Taylor's honesty with anxiety is everything and everyone.

[@noahztv1]

The snippet of Running Out of Time… Sounds like a bop and the concept behind it seems really unique and relatable. I can’t wait

[@johannachesshir8218]

Paramore, the only rock band with good BOUNDARIES for their own health and happiness. It’s honestly so inspiring

[@FrazJ]

Honestly it's so refreshing to see Taylor speaking so frankly. What an absolute babe.

[@andressuarez3079]

True fan love is unconditional. If you have to step away we'll miss you but being okay comes first.

[@drmiguel3299]

Absolutely

Facts

[@lisalundemo]

I can't stress enough how much goodness Paramore has brought into my life, they will probably never know or truly understand, but I want to say it anyways. Nobody is perfect, and thats ok. And idk my life is just filled with so many good memories where Paramore is the reason for it some way or another.

[@blacktide888]

I absolutely love Paramore. One of my favorite bands of all time. It’s just incredible to see them still doing what they love.

[@fllashi]

i could literally listen to zane talk to paramore for 5+ hours and not get bored

[@Zdeath]

You do not understand how much I love the interviews you do with paramore!! These make me appreciate the music 10x more than I already do! And I love how personal they get with Zane it’s crazy! Also I realize how much I relate with Taylor. I love you paramore 🖤🖤🖤

[@ryanwilliams8720]

The addition of Joey Howard to all of Hayley's music is beyond incredible! Joey, you are THE MAN! your bass lines are so technical and they add so much more depth to the band and their sound, please keep Joey around foEva

[@candacetirado2514]

This interview was just everything. So happy to hear Taylor ♥️ so grateful for them to open up about a song like “Liar”…. Did anyone catch the “crystal clear” reference in the lyrics?? So happy for this whole group. It’s been a special 2 decades being a fan

[@mzboomboom320]

5 minutes in and taylor's tallking...insta tears. there's a difference between a band and the people and paramore never disappoints showing us the real them. thank you for sharing, the vulnerability and your art and I love the whole paramore community

[@thepenthouse6793]

This interview is just a love fest which I really needed today. I grew up listening to Paramore (literally the same age as them) and I feel like I’m part of the band lol. Protect these people at all costs!!!!!!!

[@LittleMissMadie99]

Zane’s interviews with Paramore always being out sick a deep and unique side of them when talking about their music. I’m so excited for the new album.

[@jesusmvillalobos18]

Oh gosh, what a gorgeous men Taylor York is 💕 loving this people since 2007, can't wait to listen to the record 🤩

[@francescayuzon1255]

Taylor talked so much ❤❤ v proud

[@lilaceyedee2093]

aw it felt really special to hear taylor’s perspective. loved this!

[@sheridenrangitonga3256]

This interview is so raw, reflective and honest is the best ways! I love seeing these three truly be their best selves, you can just feel their radiance.😢 SO much more excited for the album after this interview if that was even possible.

[@demonsandlords]

TAYLOR!!!! You’re amazing and great!!!! Don’t belittle yourself ❤ we love you so much and appreciate you more than you’ll know.

[@joshuacabalquinto708]

This is not an interview. This is a heart-to-heart conversation among friends. I adore Paramore and Zane.

[@stevrgrs]

32:50 It's cool when people are open an honest about fidgeting, being nervous, etc. We need more of that and less of people fronting.

[@lolita23q95]

Can even count the number of times I have seen this interview. Truly feels like a therapy session. Zane is good at making artists feel comfy and understood. The vulnerability, its so candid. Beautiful.

[@rebeccarodriguez1334]

Damn when Taylor said you have to grieve your own idea, or self expression…. that hit hard 💔❤️‍🩹

[@kaliontherocks]

Thanks for being so transparent about... everything. It's not just the music I feel connected to with this band. It's so special to feel you get the music because you get the people. Can't wait for the album ❤️

[@Ratherbejaded]

I just want to thank Zane for creating such a safe space and friendship with the band that hayley felt comfortable talking about Liar. It’s one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard (right behind crystal clear) and I was dying to hear Hayley talk about the creative process behind it, but thought she wouldn’t or be very shallow about her answer…while instead we got almost 5 minutes, the longest of any of the songs talked about and Hayley going so deep and real with it. I look forward to these interviews everytime and I hope Zane forever and always interviews the band, it’s always the best ❤

[@ellajuly8287]

Taylor, Hayley, Zac: you fill my soul with so much love, excitement and passion. I cannot wait for this album to drop. I truly believe this will be your best record and I can already see it becoming my favorite of all time. Thank you for your honesty, for everything you do. I'll see you on tour.

[@jayh82]

The only person allowed to interview Paramore from now until forever is this man, Zane Lowe. Incredible

[@fathead1616]

Been a passive Paramore enjoyer here and there... But this album hit me different. If feels like my mid 30's self matched exactly with the whole vibe of the album. Don't know if I've ever thought the drums across an entire album have been more perfect than this. Also, I feel what Taylor talked about with not hearing the lyrics. It's absolutely the last thing I hear, but as I began to hear the lyrics - they fit exactly what I was already feeling with the instrumentation. And the lyrics are so simple but profound and they seem so absolutely honest I just love it all. This interview really helped give me some insight to delve deeper into the songs as well as help me reframe and begin to ask more questions about my own feelings and experiences. Thanks for being so open and vulnerable and honest with your art and this interview. Sending much love to you all ❤️

[@AislinneLA]

It's amazing grow with you, @Paramore and now see you as a consolidate band. But more special, see you as happy people, who loves what you do. I feel so proud of you and I'm honored to say #IamParamoreFan . Regards and love from Mexico. ✌
