“Cover Me Up” is probably one of Jason Isbell’s best-known songs, and that’s at least partially due to the fact that Morgan Wallen included a cover of the 2013 song on his 2021 album Dangerous: The Double Album. In the weeks following its release, though, Wallen was\u00a0filmed drunkenly yelling a racial slur<\/a>, after which Isbell famously pledged to\u00a0donate his royalties from Wallen’s “Cover Me Up” cover to the NAACP<\/a>. Wallen’s controversy certainly didn’t prevent him from becoming one of today’s biggest country stars, but at least his fellow Nashville resident Hayley Williams always seems prepared to humble him<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Paramore singer is currently on her first-ever solo tour supporting her recent album Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party<\/a>. Last night was her last of three nights at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom, and she brought out Isbell \u2014 another Nashville neighbor and known Good Guy<\/a> \u2014 to sing “Cover Me Up” together. <\/p>\n

Williams has typically been closing with “Parachute,” and for some of the shows on this tour so far she’s been bringing out a surprise guest to sing with her (the first night in New York had H20’s Toby Morse). Last night the guest was Broadway-turned-White Lotus actor Meghann Fahy. See clips from the audience below.<\/p>\n

Williams hasn’t been doing any Paramore songs on this tour, but fans handled it themselves on the sidewalk last night:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Cover Me Up” is probably one of Jason Isbell’s best-known songs, and that’s at least partially due to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":195442,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9,56,63,65,64],"class_list":{"0":"post-195441","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-new-york","9":"tag-ny","10":"tag-nyc","11":"tag-nyc-headlines","12":"tag-nyc-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=195441"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195441\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/195442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=195441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=195441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=195441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
