Hayley Williams Defends Anti-Trump Speech at iHeartRadio Festival

Williams responds to criticism of her prepared remarks, emphasizing the importance of her message against Trump and Project 2025.

Hayley Williams criticized Donald Trump and Project 2025 during Paramore's iHeartRadio Music Festival set.
Williams faced backlash from MAGA figures, including Elon Musk, who accused her of reading from a script and being a 'puppet.'
She clarified on Instagram that she prepared her speech to avoid mistakes and was not paid to make the remarks.
Project 2025, associated with the Heritage Foundation, outlines policies that Williams claims would harm women, poor people, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community.
Williams urged Americans to vote in the upcoming presidential election to prevent a potential 'dictatorship' under a second Trump administration.
