Hayley Williams’ concert in New York City Sunday featured a surprise appearance by Americana artist and former Drive-By Truckers member Jason Isbell.<\/p>\n

The Paramore frontwoman invited Isbell onstage to perform a duet rendition of his 2013 song “Cover Me Up.”<\/p>\n

Notably, “Cover Me Up” has also been covered by country superstar Morgan Wallen, who released his version in 2019. Williams later named<\/a> Wallen as the “racist country singer” she sings about on her song “Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party,” the title track off her 2025 solo album.<\/p>\n
