Paramore was not present at the Grammy Awards this weekend to personally receive their gramophones, but they took the time to react to their massive win on social media amid their wipe out.
According to Billboard, the group—Hayley Williams, Taylor York, and Zac Farro—finally received their first Grammy ever after being active in the music industry for over two decades.
The band snagged the Best Rock Album and the Best Alternative Music Performance for their album "This Is Why" and its title track.
Taking to their official Instagram account, the three musicians shared a joint statement thanking their fans for supporting them along the way as they won't receive the awards without them.
"First off, infinite thanks to our fans, our team, and the voting academy for making This Is Why such a moment for us, 20 years into our career."
Paramore's Grammy Win Makes History
Later in the post, the band revealed that their win for the category of Best Rock Album was a historic one because they are the "first female-fronted band to ever take home a trophy for this category."
Although they consider it "ridiculous," they finally realized that it's true and it's an honor for them to be a small but a constant reminder for the public to push "rock and alternative spaces to be more inclusive."
Aside from the letter to fans, the post also contained a photo of the three members hanging out in a recording studio.
Per the outlet, Paramore's "This Is Why" was their sixth studio album which was released last year. It became their highest-charting record in almost 10 years as they debuted number two on the Billboard 200 charts.
Paramore's Social Media Wipe Out
Paramore fans were surprised to find out that their official website, Instagram, and X accounts have been wiped out.
The group has yet to reveal the main reason behind this, but there were speculations that it might be connected to their exit from Atlantic Records. Some even noted that it might be a marketing strategy.
Later on, Daily Mail UK reported that Paramore was recording their old songs and was planning to re-release it similar to what Taylor Swift did.
Regardless, the band has yet to confirm whether this information was true.
