Hayley Williams Surprises 9-Year-Old By Inviting Them Onstage to Perform “Misery Business”

Hayley Williams has done it again, going viral one more time thanks to a 9-year-old girl! During Paramore’s stop in Houston, Williams scouted the crowd to see who could come on stage to help them sing their 2007 fan-favorite hit, “Misery Business.”

That’s when Williams followed the commotion focusing on one area, seeing a 9-year-old holding a “Pick me” sign. Williams saw the young fan, shouting, “You wanna come up here? Come on, baby!”

Cheering her onstage, the girl revealed her name was Riley, as she jumped around singing along to the lyrics in perfect beat. What’s funny enough, is that Riley wasn’t even born when “Misery Business” was released, still, that didn’t stop the rockstar from tagging along.

Wrapping up the song and giving her a hug, Williams told Riley, “You’re so cool!” before sending her off. This isn’t the first time Williams goes viral online after she recently lost her mic while performing “The Only Exception” while dancing around on stage. The mic hilariously fell off the stage, along with the stand, prompting security guards to quickly gather it and place it back on stage as Williams laughed around, urging the crowd to sing.

Recently, it was announced that the band was joining Taylor Swift for her European leg of the Eras Tour as a supporting act. Along with other band members, drummer Zac Farro and guitarist Taylor York, will be joining Swift for 14 more sows in 2024.

Announcing the exciting news on her social media, Swift revealed, “Really can’t contain my excitement because… we’re adding 14 new shows to The Eras Tour. And I get to travel the world doing shows with @paramore!! Hayley and I have been friends since we were teens in Nashville and now we get to frolic around the UK/Europe next summer??? I’m screaming???”
