Lil Uzi Vert joined Paramore onstage in New York last night for a special performance of Misery Business.
Despite never having met before, the rap superstar and the band sort of actually go back a bit: Hayley Williams revealed in 2020 that she’d turned down a collab with him as she had planned on taking a break at that time and didn’t “want to be that famous”.
Several years later, though, and they’ve now not only met but performed one of Paramore’s biggest songs at the iconic Madison Square Garden on the band’s current North American tour.
Before the song’s bridge – ‘I watched his wildest dreams come true / And not one of them involving you’ – Hayley introduced Lil Uzi Vert and told him onstage: “You’ve said so many nice things about me. You’re so sweet to me, and to Paramore. Can we do this bridge again together? Then we’re going to melt their faces off.”
And that’s exactly what they did. Now how about that collab?!
