Today, on February 8th, our Jeremy is turning 25! On behalf of all of us, I want to wish Jeremy a happy birthday! Hopefully they have fun on their tour.

hey guys,
I hope everyones doing well! I am enjoying some time off here in franklin and definitely looking forward to the superbowl! Go Saints! Hehe. I’ve got some news to share with you guys so here it goes..

As some of you already know, I am engaged! So, as weird as it is to stay behind, I need to take some time off to plan the wedding and everything. Because of that I will not be joining the guys on the pacific rim tour coming up. I feel really blessed to be able to take this time off, especially in the midst of this record cycle. The band has been extremely supportive and gracious to me about all of this which has made it a lot easier. Justin York, Taylor’s brother, will be filling in for me as a favor. He’s an awesome dude, you all will love him. Trust me, I know it’s strange having someone “fill in” for me. I dont like it anymore than you guys do, but this is the most important thing in the world to me and I trust you all will understand. The Lord has blessed me with the most amazing woman and for that I am eternally grateful. I can’t tell you guys how excited I am to get married! The thought of it blows my mind every day!

I will be back soon! Don’t worry! I love you guys. Thank you so much for all of your support and love. What you guys do for me and the band is out of this world. No one has fans like us. I shall see you all very soon.

We found some interviews straight from the red carpet.

If more are found, we’ll post them as soon as possible! // More videos added.

The whole band attended the “52nd Annual Grammy Awards” ceremony in Los Angeles, CA, yesterday. Unfortunately, Paramore’s song “Decode” did not win the best song from a movie category, “Jai Ho” by A.R. Rahman & The Pussycat Dolls did. Being nominated among all those songs is still a huge accomplishment, so we’re still proud, of course!

We have over 30 photos from yesterday and more to come!

Special guests Relient K and fun. will be joining for the whole tour.

Tickets go on pre-sale for Paramore Fan Club members, beginning Monday,
February 1st. The first 20 lucky PFC members to purchase tickets, per tour

You ready to get Twitterviewed?
Let’s go!

Awesome! So, how psyched are you for the Grammys on Sunday? Who are you most excited to meet?
So stoked for it. I really want to meet Lady Gaga. I’m a new fan… It took me a while to accept the fact that I am totally stupefied by her.

She is pretty wild, isn’t she? Where were you when you heard about your nomination?
We were in the UK on a headlining run for our new record. Honestly, I thought it was just a rumor. So stoked it wasn’t.

How exciting! Do you have a dress picked out? Perhaps a Lady Gaga inspired number?
Haha… I was hoping to find out what she’s wearing and wear a carbon copy. Then we could become best friends. To answer your question, I don’t know just yet!

Ha! I bet she wouldn’t even know what to do with herself. Are you getting used to red carpets and all the things that come w/fame?
I hope I never get used to red carpets… It’s pretty fun playing dress up. I just hope I don’t fall in my heels.

It happens to the best of us. We hear John Mayer is a fan of your music. Do you like his? Who are you listening to now?
Of course! Josh is the biggest fan out of all of us. I still love the first record the most… most of his fans would probably shun me for that. Oh well!

Like right now? Actually, @xchadballx recorded some solo stuff over the past year or so… I am listening those rough mixes!

\m/ Rock ‘n’ roll. Heard you did a Leonard Cohen “Hallelujah” cover on tour. Did u see Justin Timberlake’s on the Haiti telethon?
I was flying into Nashville from the radio tour we did the night of the telethon. I have yet to check out his cover. Bet it ruled.

Speaking of Nashville, you guys are from Franklin, TN. Has country music influenced you in any way? Are y’all closeted Judds fans?
Actually, we all began to love country music once we started touring a lot. It reminded us of home. I <3 Johnny Cash.

Us too! Where’s your favorite place in the world to perform?
There’s no downside to playing anywhere. And it’s really hard to pick a favorite. We’re about to head to Japan… I <3 it there.

Rad! You guys are all pretty young, too. 19-24, yeah? What do you want to be when you grow up?
I want to stay open minded, positive, and never forget where I came from. Oh, and I wanna be in this band forever too.

Those seem like pretty solid goals. Who are you following on Twitter?
All my friends back home, friends in other bands, Betsey Johnson, Ellen DeGeneres, Glenn Danzig and McAlisters Deli.

Yum! We’ll have to check those out. Last question: who’s your biggest celeb “crushcrushcrush” right now?
Michael C. Hall. I mean, I guess I’m crushing more on Dexter at the moment. It must be the whole mass murderer thing. Sighhh.

He is quite charming. Well thanks for tweeting with us — it was a lot fun! Good luck Sunday; we’ll be rooting for you!
Thanks so much! Goodnight!

BRANDON’S BIG SURPRISE

Brandon rules. We’ve known him since before the band even really got started. It’s been so amazing having him out on the road with us for the past year and a half. Brandon did an incredible job on The Final Riot – which went gold!!! – and captured almost the entire process of the making of our new album on video. This is the 3rd video we’ve done for ‘brand new eyes’… and we’re really honored that we can work with someone who is as talented as him, not to mention one of our really great friends. We’ll keep you guys in the loop and we hope that you’re just as excited as we are.

Also, usage of capital letters and correct punctuation in this post is regrettable.

Sincerely,
Hayley N. Williams
