\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div> \n\tWilliams previously hinted<\/a> that she would finally embark on her first-ever solo tour in a Dec. 2024 message to fans, suggesting that the trek would take place in 2025. However, the years-in-the-making tour will instead kick off in March 2026, six years after the singer first announced her intention for a solo jaunt.<\/p>\n \n\tBack in March 2020, just weeks before the coronavirus took hold of North America, Williams announced <\/a>a<\/a> tour<\/a> in support of her then-upcoming solo albums\u00a0Petals for Armor<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWow. I am going on tour. Myself. It\u2019s not\u00a0Paramore\u00a0and truthfully, it\u2019s just a little terrifying,\u201d Williams wrote at the time. \u201cBut if I know anything, it\u2019s that there\u2019s no safer place (besides at home with my dog) than to be in a room, on a stage, in front of the people who I\u2019ve grown up singing my lungs out for. There was a time I thought I wouldn\u2019t tour\u00a0Petals for Armor<\/em>. What a joke. I must.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tHowever, the pandemic disrupted those plans, and Williams was forced to stage a series of virtual performances \u2014\u00a0like NPR\u2019s Tiny Desk from Nashville<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 during the album\u2019s promotional push. By the time the lockdown subsided, Paramore had reunited, releasing a new album\u00a0This Is Why<\/em>\u00a0and embarking on their own jaunt that included a stretch on Taylor Swift\u2019s Eras Tour.<\/p>\n
