I know there’s going to be fan rants about “Hayley haz changed I h8 her now!!!1!” so I’m just going to discuss this now.

Hayley Williams will always be Hayley Williams. I mean, look, we all change. Every one of us. We’re not going to stay the same forever. We’ll be changing our outfits, we’ll go through some sort of emotional phase, we’ll try something we’ve never tried before… That’s who we are and how we were made.

What I’m trying to say is that no matter what Hayley wears, no matter what Hayley does… She will always. Be. Hayley. Guys, she’s 22. She’s not the same 17 year old who didn’t even want to wear make up or dresses. She’s grown up. We’ll all grow up. It’s something every person has to deal with in their lifetime.

Just because Hayley has worn dresses more frequently and has been appearing in fashion magazines doesn’t mean that you can continue to judge her and the decisions she’s made. She’s a smart woman who is completely capable of doing what she wants to do. She will always be the Hayley we all love and know. The Hayley with the amazing hair, the incredible voice, the beautiful smile… As well as Her humor, her kindness, her passion & dedication…

We all change but no matter what, we’re still the same person. People have no right to judge her and discriminate her for something like change of clothes and change of attention from media which has barely had an effect on the gorgeous and righteous person she is.

Hayley Williams will always be Hayley Williams and she is beautiful inside and out.
