Alternative Press teamed up with Hayley Williams for an exclusive Artist of the Year zine and poster, printed in limited quantities. Head to the AP Shop to grab yours.
Hayley Williams performed at the 11th annual Ally Coalition Talent Show, which is curated and hosted by producer and Bleachers frontman Jack Antonoff and his sister, Rachel. The event, which took place at NYU’s Skirball Center For The Performing Arts, included a surprise lineup of guests, and this year’s event featured Williams, Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine, and Phish’s Trey Anastasio.
Williams performed “Good Ol’ Days,” which she debuted alongside Bleachers earlier this fall, and “Love Me Different,” one of the initial 17 tracks she released over the summer. She also joined Bleachers, Anastasio, and Welch for a rendition of Judee Sill’s “Lopin’ Along Through The Cosmos.” Welch also performed “Dog Days Are Over” and “Free” with the help of Bleachers, Williams, actor Rachel Zegler, Claud, Samia, and Annie DiRusso.

Earlier this year, Williams joined Bleachers at their Newport Folk Festival performance, which was also an Ally Coalition charity show. Past talent shows have raised millions of dollars to support unhoused LGBTQ+ youth, with previous surprise guests including Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and MUNA.
Williams recently announced tour dates in support of Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, and every dollar from each ticket sale will benefit the Ally Coalition. Watch performances from the Ally Coalition Talent Show below.
