SZA praises Hayley Williams after 'Love Galore' cover in Auburn
SZA has sent love back to Hayley Williams after Williams covered "Love Galore" on stage in Washington.
Williams sang the song during her concert on 30 September in Auburn, Washington, as part of her run titled The Hayley Williams Show, according to Billboard. A fan-captured video of the performance began circulating online after the show.
SZA then shared the clip to her Instagram Story. She added a short caption: "I really love her so much."
"Love Galore" is a 2017 track from SZA featuring Travis Scott. It was an early breakthrough for SZA. It gave her a first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, the main US singles chart, where it peaked at No. 32.
This is not the first time Williams has taken on SZA's material. Williams, best known as the singer of the band Paramore, has covered SZA songs before as a solo artist and with the group.
Paramore once blended their own song "Grow Up" with SZA's "20 Something" in a live mash-up, as noted by Rolling Stone. That history gives the Auburn moment extra context. It was a return, not a first try.
What makes this stand out is how quickly it travelled. One performance. One phone video. One repost. Fans at the show saw it live, and fans elsewhere saw it through SZA's Story hours later.
