Paramore Rocks Wimbledon: Band Members Visit Tennis Mecca
Paramore's Wimbledon Visit: A Crossover of Rock and Tennis
While accompanying Taylor Swift on her European Eras Tour, members of the Grammy-winning rock band Paramore made a memorable visit to Wimbledon, the hallowed grounds of tennis. The band's musicians, including drummer Zac Farro, joined the likes of Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic at the All England Club ahead of the year's third Grand Slam.
Paramore, fronted by Hayley Williams, is accompanying Swift at all 48 dates of her European shows, including the recent Iga Swiatek-attended show in Liverpool. While Williams did not join her bandmates on their Wimbledon excursion, the visit was a hit nonetheless.
The band's connection to tennis extends beyond a mere day off. Many of the musicians are avid recreational players, with Farro being particularly vocal about his love for the game. He has even dressed as a giant tennis ball for Halloween. Paramore has often been photographed goofing around on courts with friends, and tennis venues have been a recurring theme in their social media posts throughout the tour.
At Wimbledon, the band members received expert guidance from former WTA pro Laura Robson. The one-time junior Wimbledon winner posted a photo on her Instagram story of herself and the band holding racquets together.
Paramore's Wimbledon visit has sparked speculation among fans about the possibility of a tennis-centric track on their upcoming album. Given the band's love for the sport and their playful nature, it would not be surprising to see them incorporate tennis into their music.
