Paramore is an American rock band from Franklin, Tennessee, formed in 2004. The band currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. Williams and Farro are founding members of the group, while York, a high school friend of the original lineup, joined in 2007.
The band’s second album, Riot!, was released in 2007. Thanks to the success of the singles “Misery Business”, “Crushcrushcrush”, and “That’s What You Get”, Riot! was a mainstream success and was certified Platinum in the United States. Paramore then received a Best New Artist nomination at the 2008 Grammy Awards.
How much did Olivia pay Paramore?
Billboard estimates the banger has made at least $2.4 million in global publishing royalties so far, leaving Williams and Farro to split their share of $1.2 million. Nigro and Rodrigo split the other $1.2 million. Though the High School Musical reboot actress gave them credit about three months after the song’s release, sources told both Billboard and Variety that Paramore’s team was in touch with her before it dropped.
