"Paramore Denounces Tennessee GOP's 'Blatant Racism' Amid Grammy Controversy"
Paramore has rejected a Tennessee resolution honoring their recent Grammy wins after the state's GOP-led House of Representatives snubbed fellow winner Allison Russell, a Black country singer. The band criticized the "blatant racism" of the state's leadership and vowed not to accept any acknowledgment until Russell is given the same recognition. This comes after House Republican Jeremy Faison led the effort to nix the resolution honoring Russell, sparking controversy and drawing attention to racial disparities in the recognition of musicians.
