Overview
- Rolling Stone’s live series packed New York’s Beacon Theatre on Oct. 23 with pairings of Role Model and María Zardoya, and Jack Antonoff with Hayley Williams, hosted by SNL’s James Austin Johnson.
- Role Model traced the ‘Sally, When the Wine Runs Out’ stage bit to a Dallas prank involving podcaster Jake Shane, which evolved into inviting fans and celebrities to play “Sally.”
- Recent ‘Sally’ guests cited included Charli xcx on SNL Oct. 11, along with Olivia Rodrigo, Natalie Portman, Hilary Duff, Kate Hudson and Reneé Rapp, though no guest appeared at the Beacon show.
- Williams’ solo album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party arrived Oct. 24 after a July leak, and she has said a “racist country singer” lyric on the title track refers to Morgan Wallen.
- Williams and Antonoff discussed Nashville’s transformation before a Bleachers-backed set that mixed their catalogs, premiered selections from her new album, and introduced their song together Good Ol’ Days, while Role Model and Zardoya performed No One Noticed.
