yes! i always want to come and see you. even if i busy, i am going to make time for this to happen. when are you back on the road? i know the fans really want it so we are trying to see how we could make it work. i felt bad for letting them down with not even being able to finish that recording but we also have some vault tracks from that era that may one day see the light of day. you’re just glowing, hayley! oh my gosh, i am going to come and see you and stay in nashville for a little bit. if you need someone to go to appointments with, happy to do so.

[hayleyfm]

I’m in Rhode Island for a festival so if you happen to be at your home there - Brandon and I will come and crash. Otherwise we’ll find time. I’m fully back in September, though. With a whole new setlist and everything. It’s been a lot of fun to create this one. I don’t think you need to feel bad, baby. You did what you set out to do - get your masters back and I think that’s the most important thing. I can have you and Brandon there. The baby daddy and the baby mama. Ha.

[travskelces]

i think if i were a singer, i'd probably forget some of my own lyrics too. there are only so many songs you can keep track of, and honestly, it's completely normal to forget things sometimes. that's what the fans are there for, they'll happily remind you of the words when your brain decides to stop working. i think that's probably why we're such good friends, though. neither of us knows how to sit still, we always need to be doing something, otherwise we'll probably go completely insane. paramore going on hiatus hurts my heart, but i understand that sometimes you need to step away from things for a while and give yourself some space. i told him i wanted him to be the next batman, but his answer didn't exactly leave me feeling very confident about it. i'm not dating anyone at the moment, but i have been seeing someone, and she's been making me smile quite a lot lately. alf is such a wonderful dog, i'm sure he had the best time at dog school. what kind of tricks did he learn? wait... preparing for a baby? what? what did i miss?

[hayleyfm]

Especially when you’ve got like 100 of them. Not to be dramatic or anything but over a 20 year career… you’re bound to forget. Soon I can start blaming it on my age and be happy with that. I think creative people just don’t know how to stay in one place. It’s a blessing and a curse. And before you argue about you not being a creative - your podcast counts. We needed to untangle ourselves identities from the band. Otherwise we’d always just be stuck at the teenagers who rose to fame. And that’s not healthy. The next Batman? I’d convert to being a DC girlie so fast. I could see it. Even if Rob is a great Batman. They’re always changing the actors - like James Bond and spiderman. Who is this someone? Do I get names or are you leaving me hanging here? Dog school really helped with his separation anxiety. Goldendoodles are way too well known for that but he did learn how to stand on his back legs. Uh - yes? I’m due at the end of August. Brandon knocked me up. I’ll spare you the details but I’m sure your parents gave you the birds and the bees talk.

[joekcery]

Sorry, Hayley. Should I make my parents aware that you're disappointed in them? Wow, I had no idea, but that's cool. Should I start calling you Hannah Montana now? Are you really close with them at all? Thank you, I'm obviously a huge fan of you too. Wait, are you serious? If you ever want me to open a show, seriously, just ask. I would leap at the chance. Okay, wow, you really have been busy. I hope it all goes to plan and congratulations on the little one. Can never say you can't multitask. Women really can do it all. Are you excited about everything? Crowds singing along can be so euphoric. Knowing your words connect with people like that will always be the coolest feeling.

[hayleyfm]

No - cause then they won't like me. And I enjoy when the Keerys like me. What a terrible impression that would be. I’m super close to my sisters, even if I don’t live in the same city as one of them and there’s quite an age gap between us. The youngest is still in her 20s. The step siblings… not so much since they came into my life much later. Maybe when I do another tour or Paramore does. Although you might be playing in stadiums by then and we’ll be opening for you. If I don’t keep busy then I might be losing my mind. Thank you! Brandon and I are excited to become parents. Their first nursery is going to be on a tour bus. I’m looking forward to the best tour cause I plan on doing more of my solo stuff and not just ego death. How’s your tour going - or have you finished up?

I love the idea of keeping it a surprise. There are so few genuine surprises left in life, and I feel like that's one of the best ones. And please, milk Brandon's doting phase for everything it's worth. If he wants to get you one of your weird cravings at midnight, let him. Also yes. It's one of the few times you get to shamelessly play the pregnancy card. I'm sorry you're still dealing with the nausea, though. Hopefully you're getting close to the point where it starts easing up. I promise it'll all be worth it. And stop, that's so sweet. I would absolutely love for our kids to grow up together. I have no idea, a part of me wants to throw a big birthday, another part wants to keep it small, just family and close friends. I have to talk to Taylor about it. She's currently obsessed with those magna tiles and kinetic sand, have you seen those? It's messy but she's obsessed.

[hayleyfm]

Next scan we can decide if we want to know or not so got a little more time to decide. Still so weird to hear the little heart beat. I'll keep that one in mind - so far nothing in the middle of the night. But I'm sure that's going to change going into the next trimester. I think I'm going to be playing that card as much as I can. He's going to get so annoyed. Even if we end up living in different cities - I'm sure that our kids are going to have a special bond. Lucky there's technology for that. And when they're older... I don't even want to think about what's going to do be available. You could go in the middle and do a medium sized party. A few friends from her swim class - your family and friends. Rent out a bounce house or something. Don't toddlers love those? I haven't but I'll be getting her tons of those.

[travskelces]

your job is literally being a singer and you still forget song lyrics? i'm not judging you, i really can't judge you. i think the exact same thing would happen to me if i were a singer. i'm a busy guy, but i'm grateful for it because life would be incredibly boring if i had nothing to do. i feel like i have to keep moving all the time, otherwise things start to feel a bit monotonous. it's alright, though! i know you're busy with your career and spending a lot of your time making other people happy. brandon? i think i've spoken to him a few times before, he seems like a good person. it's nice to change the scenery every now and then, don't you think? dating someone outside of your industry can be refreshing because you end up learning things you probably never would have otherwise. by the way, how's alf doing? i'm really happy to hear things are good between you two now. it's always nice when people are able to heal, move forward and try something new, even if that something turns out to be friendship. a few more years? i'll wait.

[hayleyfm]

Every singer forgets lyrics. It's part of the job. You know when you do something so often that you think you've done it? It's like that. Or sometimes the verses are just similar so you sing the wrong one. Oops. I feel you on the constantly moving thing. I don't think I know how to take proper breaks. Every time Paramore has gone on a hiatus - I've either been doing my own solo music or doing things for GDY. Sometimes both. He really is great - I'm sure that the two of you will become friends. Are you dating anyone at the moment? Alf is doing great. He was in dog school while I was on tour and learnt some more tricks. For an old boy - he's smart. Yeah, between my solo tour, preparing for a baby and making sure that Brandon doesn't have to set aside his career so that we can be a family - it's going to be full on. I'm gonna need a couple years, ha. Plus Zac has his own thing going, too and he's engaged. We're all doing our own things at the moment. So when we come back together... it's going to be a real creative blast.

[brandonblvd]

That's true. Glad that exists now. I can pick my projects a little better and I'm sure that whoever I work with next will understand when the baby's here that I want to be there for you and the little one as much as I can. I don't doubt that we can make it work. Wait, you were thinking of doing that? I had no idea. You can still do that. It would be fun to see you suddenly show up in an animated movie or a video game or something. Thanks, babe. You're not going to sound shit at all, don't say that. Just be careful that you don't overwork yourself as your body will react to things differently now. But at least you'll get to tell all those stories to our little one when he or she is older. You can mention that you shared the stage together. Oh, are you going to be a real emotional mess from now on? Just kidding, I'll be ready for it. I'll happily rub your feet for you since you probably won't even be able to see them anymore at some point. Sorry, that was the last one. That just means they have a good appetite.

[hayleyfm]

And I'm going to try and plan my tour a little, too so that it's not a crazy busy one. I could do night after night for the smaller tour. Lucky the American legs have a few more days in between each city... and newborns just sleep whenever they need to, really. I think the real challenge will come when the European leg comes around next year. But we can cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, we just do our best and hope that's enough. Yeah, when I didn't know what I was going to do with the whole music thing. I still didn't know I was going to go solo so had to think of something creative. I'm learning my bodies limits and resting where needed. Do you want to find out what we're having? The next scan we can do that. Yeah, probably. I've been seeing a few TikToks where people are my height and their partners are your height. Big ol' babies. My poor back. Going to have to get one of those belly bands. I wonder if people are going to realize that I'm pregnant or if they're just going to think that I'm super fucking bloated at the festival this weekend. Maybe it's both.

[limelightgosling]

I heard you're gonna be a mom! Congratulations! Being a parent is the best thing that's ever happened to me, and I fully believe that'll be the case for you, too. How are you doing? Got any weird cravings yet? @hayleyfm

[hayleyfm]

Thank you. I'm looking forward to the new adventure and I'm sure that I'm going to learn a lot about myself, ha. Got any tips for me? I don't think it's too weird of a craving because it's a normal thing to eat... I just don't usually eat a lot of it. This baby loves steak.

[limelightstevens]

Hayley! What's this I hear you're going to be a mum? That's so exciting, congratulations! And how's tour been? Busy year for you! @hayleyfm

[hayleyfm]

I am going to be a mom - not something that I expected to happen so soon. Thought it would have taken a lot longer to become pregnant but the universe knows what it's doing. It's all a little overwhelming but Brandon is being the best so I'm super grateful I get to do this journey with him. Now we just need to decide if we are going to find out the gender and if we want to do a baby shower. Which feels kind of impractical since we're going to be on the road a lot. Starting tour again in September so it'll be a fun balancing act with a new born. How are you doing?

A decade of Dye 🧡

The history of GDY is a love letter to every launch, every lesson, every backstage moment, and every person who has been part of this journey.

From day one you’ve been creating, experimenting, and growing right along side us, making GDY what it is today. 🤘

We couldn’t have done it without you. Here’s to the next decade! 🌈✨

2016 vs 2026 - ten years of gdy

[arjonaadria]

Speaking of you performing - I've yet to attend one of your shows, and it's a fact that literally pains me, Hayley. I keep telling Brandon it needs to happen, but stars don't seem to align. It's for sure happening in August. Hold me to it, okay? But don't worry, I know how busy life on the road is, so I will talk to my people and get the movie to you, that way you and B can both watch.

Well, I tend to go for the badass characters, if I'm honest. I love a woman who can be confident, and kick major ass. I also love to goof off, and someone mentioned dressing up like one of my co-stars, so I might show up as the Beast from Beauty and the Beast.

[hayleyfm]

If you can come to any of my shows for the next tour... I would love to have you there. And I'm sure Brandon would, too. He's going to be at as many shows as he can. Life is going to be crazy busy but I'm excited to step into the next chapter and everything that it has to offer. It's going to be amazing. You could dress as literally any female super hero... or even anti-hero. One of your co-stars was Beast? Could mix the two - Harley Quinn x Beast. Imagine him wearing a 'Daddy's little monster' shirt. Hilarious.
