Paramore has performed as an Eras Tour opening act for various shows since its kickoff on March 17, 2023

The pop/rock band served as an opening act for many shows on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and posted to Instagram after their final show on Aug. 20 in England to express gratitude to the “Karma” musician and her fans.

“@TaylorSwift, Thank you for asking us to be a part of such an incredible moment in your life and career,” wrote the band, featuring vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro, alongside a photo of them with Swift, 34.

“We loved playing for the Swifties, we loved watching you tell your life story through this show,” continued Paramore. “And we truly fell in love with your whole crew.”

The band’s statement concluded, “Congrats on one more leg of this giant, history making tour. We love you!”

Paramore first opened for the Eras Tour at its March 17, 2023, kickoff date at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. They returned its European leg starting in May 2024, performing at dozens of shows in cities including Stockholm, Madrid, Dublin, Amsterdam, Zürich, Munich and more before the latest round of concerts at London’s Wembley Stadium.

During the run, Williams, 35, joined Swift on stage at the June 22 show at Wembley Stadium for a surprise performance of their Speak Now vault track, “Castles Crumbling.”

“In the process of re-recording, I was really trying to reach out to artists that I’m such a fan of, or in the case of one of the albums, specifically on Speak Now, I reached out to artists who have been so influential in my music, in my writing, who I looked up to,” Swift teased before bringing out Williams.

The “Fortnight” singer added, “I asked an artist who I was such a huge fan of to be on one of the songs, and she said yes. London, we are so lucky because when I asked Hayley Williams to come to this show, she said yes.”

Swift and Williams first met when they were both up for the best new artist Grammy in 2008. “Not long after we became friends, she knew I felt awkward going to my ex’s wedding, so she tagged along with me, made it fun, and then we ditched the reception to go to the Cheesecake Factory,” Williams told PEOPLE in December.

Ever since then, the pair has remained friends. “She recently called when I was going through a rough time, just to listen and crack jokes and give me solid advice that of course sounded like perfectly formed lyrics,” the Paramore member said at the time. “She’s funny as s— and so fun.”

Currently, the Eras Tour is set to continue through Dec. 8 with its second North American leg featuring Gracie Abrams as the opening act.
