On Saturday night, Billie Eilish and Hayley Williams shocked Coachella Weekend 2 audiences with a rare performance of Paramore’s 2007 song “Misery Business.”

Eilish and her brother Finneas performed “Your Power” from her most recent album, with the siblings duetting on acoustic guitar. Williams’ presence occurred after Eilish and her brother Finneas performed “Your Power” from her most recent album, with the siblings duetting on acoustic guitar. After the song concluded, there was a brief gap during which anticipation filled the room, and Eilish took a seat on a stool to reveal her special guest.

“Oh, look! An empty seat. Who’s that for?” Eilish said with a mischievous look. “Everybody, can we please welcome my friend Hayley Williams!”

Williams and Eilish performed an acoustic version of the pop-punk song, accompanied by Finneas and another guitarist. When Eilish got onstage, she let out an exuberant squeal, clearly overjoyed to have Williams as a guest.

As Williams addressed the crowd, the two leapt and hugged. “Whoa, this is my first Coachella,” Williams exclaimed. “I appreciate you sharing this with me. This is infuriating!”

Before they broke out in song, Eilish asked: “Hayley, wanna sing something?” To which Williams replied: “Yes, I’m better at singing than talking.”

“Misery Business” was perfectly tailored to both singers’ powerhouse vocals, with Williams belting the first verse and Eilish jumping in to add a lower harmony to the chorus. “We sound good,” Williams said before Eilish added her signature whisper-style tone to the second verse.

“Oh my fucking god,” Eilish exclaimed after Williams exited the stage. “Absolutely what on earth could be cooler than that? I’m dead serious.”
