Hayley Williams reveals that Taylor Swift let her choose between two tracks to feature on 'Speak Now (Taylor's Version)'

“I picked this one because I liked the lyrics and I liked that it was sort of about feeling like you were on top of the world and people were sort of cheering for you, people are kind of like rooting for you and then you make a mistake or you do something and it feels like, no I've let them all down” Williams went on to add that the resonating lyrics were something Swift and her bonded over because of their shared experiences as public figures, “I really I appreciated singing that with her too because obviously she's been through many seasons of that people hating her and then loving her and hating her again and I think the court of public opinion is like not only an overwhelming I mean oppressive kind of feeling but also it gets swayed back and forth. It changes so quickly. So I really I really appreciated being a part of that song.”

Today is special: February 18th marks my eighth year sober; the crippling self-loathing might still be alive and well but, as they say, one day at a time. Cheers!
