Hayley William Drops 17 New Songs for 20-Year Debut Anniversary
Tracks like 'KillMe.mp3' and 'NegativeSelfTalk.mp3' are now displayed on a 2000s-inspired PC backdrop on her website, along with a 'Misc.' folder containing never-before-seen footage of a 2017 Phoenix concert in Monterrey, an unreleased merch mock-up, handwritten lyrics, and a sweet message from a small child who says, 'I'm sorry you're going through something hard.'
Hayley hasn't said anything about her surprise music drop on any of her social channels, but she did share the latest Good Dye Young product with a video featuring her unreleased song, 'Mirtazapine.'
Oh, and she also performed 'Mirtazapine' live at the Newport Folk Festival on July 25, as captured by a fan.
The slew of solo songs comes days after her band, Paramore, issued a deluxe version of their debut album, All We Know Is Falling, to celebrate its 20th anniversary. The beloved pop-punk band also dropped its first-ever digital release of The Summer Tic EP, which was originally released as a CD in 2006.
It's unclear whether these new songs make up an album or are meant to be standalone tracks. Either way, they officially join Hayley's colorful repertoire of hits from her Paramore days and beyond.

US Grammy winner Ciara becomes citizen of Benin under new slavery-descendants law
US singer Ciara has become one of the first public figures to be granted citizenship of Benin, under a new law offering nationality to the descendants of slaves. In an Instagram post the Grammy award-winner said she was "honoured", adding "thank you Benin for opening your arms and your heart to me". The citizenship scheme is part of an initiative by the small West African country to build ties with the African diaspora and boost cultural tourism. Ciara, known for R&B and pop hits such as Goodies and 1,2 Step, officially became a citizen at a ceremony in the city of Cotonou. "This act, which is symbolic, humane and historic, is not merely an administrative gesture. It is a gesture of the soul, a return to one's roots, a hand extended to those whom history, in its brutality, had torn from this land," the government said in a statement on Monday, following the ceremony. By enacting the My Afro Origins Law last year, Benin joined countries like Ghana and Guinea-Bissau in offering citizenship to people with an African ancestor who was taken from their homeland as part of the transatlantic slave trade. Descendants can apply to become a citizen via a recently launched website. Just last week, Benin appointed renowned American filmmaker Spike Lee and his wife, Tonya Lewis Lee, a seasoned producer and author, as its ambassadors for African-Americans in the US. Benin's coastline is part of what was once known as the Slave Coast - a major departure point for enslaved Africans shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. Between 1580 and 1727, the Kingdom of Whydah, a major slave-trading centre located on what is now Benin's coast, is estimated to have exported more than a million Africans to the US, the Caribbean and Brazil.

Katy Perry Spotted Out For Dinner With Justin Trudeau And... Seriously, What?!
Katy Perry has been spotted dining out with Justin Trudeau, the former prime minister of Canada. On Tuesday afternoon, TMZ published footage of the chart-topping singer and ex-world leader dining at Le Violon, a restaurant in Montreal. According to the US news outlet, the pair 'sipped cocktails and shared several dishes', while security monitored them from a nearby table. #KatyPerry is saying "bon appétit" to #JustinTrudeau ... as the pair was seen chowing down at a swanky restaurant in Montreal.#Exclusive video at the 🔗HERE: — TMZ (@TMZ) July 29, 2025 Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Katy and her fiancé Orlando Bloom had parted ways around a decade after they first began dating, though they have insisted they will remain friends, and have since been photographed on holiday with their daughter, Daisy. The former Canadian PM has also been single since August 2023, when it was announced that he and his wife of 18 years, Sophie Grégoire, had separated. While TMZ was quick to point out that it's not clear whether the two were on a 'romantic date' or 'just a friendly hang' – the sight of the California Gurls singer out for dinner with Trudeau has still managed to cause a major stir on social media. — 𝙻𝚎𝚊𝚟𝚎𝙷𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚍𝙰𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚎 🇨🇦 (@LeaveHeardAlone) July 29, 2025 this is so random but 👀👀 — Kris 😽😽😽 (@Kris27jam) July 29, 2025 She's indeed the most entertaining celebrity as of now, shes so unpredictable 😭 — Miss Knty Purry🦋 #TheLifetimesTour (@KatyBlackfyre) July 29, 2025 justin trudeau and katy perry????? — .

It's been an interesting year for the Grammy-nominated singer, who is currently in the middle of the Canadian leg of her Lifetimes World Tour, in support of her ill-fated album 143, which was released in September 2024. Back in April, she made headlines when she and an all-female team – including American broadcaster and Jeff Bezos' then-fiancée Lauren Sánchez – briefly travelled into space, which generated plenty of conversation at the time. Months later, her rep confirmed: 'Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting.' The statement added that the two will 'continue to be seen together as a family', noting their shared priority 'is – and always will be – raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect'.
