Hayley Williams and Tierra Whack partied at this Philly ice cream shop last night
The party was “all ice cream no alcohol and people were having the time of their lives on a Monday night,” said Nashirah Felder.
With an ice cream cone in hand, Hayley Williams danced with Tierra Whack inside an ice cream shop bathed in neon red on Front Street. It was a quiet Monday night in Philly, but the two star singers were partying at Sweet 45 for hours.
Williams, in town for a two-night show this week at Franklin Music Hall, hit up Whack and ice cream shop owner/DJ Nashirah Felder on Sunday night looking for recommendations for a night out on the town. “But it was a Monday night in Philly, so there was nothing really going on,” Felder said.
“I was kind of joking, and I told her [Williams] to pull up to the shop for ice cream,” she said. “And she was like, ‘Holy $%#&, this is amazing.’”
The Paramore singer pulled up with her crew and danced the night away with Whack, Felder, and their close friends.
The party was “all ice cream, no alcohol, and people were having the time of their lives on a Monday night,” Felder said. Williams enjoyed a cone of butter pecan Puerto Rican, as local DJs Rebel Foster and Musho spun funk, rap, and R&B hits on the turntables up front.
“It just felt like a friend’s birthday party,” Felder said. “The vibes were all the way there. She [Williams] just kept saying, ‘I’m having so much fun.’”
According to a Reddit post, Williams invited Whack on stage during last night’s performance. The two danced on stage as Williams sang “Good Ol’ Days,” venturing out to the ice cream shop after the show.
Williams released her third and best solo album, Ego Death at the Bachelorette Party, last year. Since then, she has been nominated for a Grammy four times, and launched a new band, Power Snatch, with producer Daniel James.
She plays her second show with openers Water From Your Eyes, the New York band whose It’s a Beautiful Place was also a 2025 standout, at 8 p.m. tonight at Franklin Music Hall.
