The future of Paramore is uncertain following the clearing of all their social media accounts.

Despite 3.5 million followers on their verified Instagram, Paramore's account has an empty profile with zero posts and the default gray square serving as a profile photo. Their bio simply reads "paramore."

Although the band is slated to tour around Europe with Taylor Swift this summer, all three members agreed in a recent interview with UPROXX that there's a level of uncertainty at what comes next. 

"The only thing that matters is we will still get to be each other's community," Williams told the outlet. Farro added, "I just hope we can keep building the Paramore empire and then rule the world."

The 2024 iHeartRadio ALTer EGO presented by Capital One will also feature performances from The 1975, The Black Keys, 30 Seconds To Mars, Bush, Sum 41, Yellowcard and more. Fans can listen to the concert live Jan. 13th at 11 p.m. EST on iHeartRadio stations.
