Billie Eilish pulled out a major last-minute surprise on her Week 2 performance at Coachella, and it is something that the crowd was not prepared for!
Last night, recent multi-GRAMMY Award Winner Billie Eilish took the Coachella stage to perform as one of this year's festival headliners.
Sharing the stage with Harry Styles, who headlined every Friday, and The Weeknd x Swedish House Mafia every Sunday, Billie Eilish takes the Saturday spot for three consecutive weekends.
Billie Eilish, Hayley Williams Sing 'Misery Business' on Coachella 2022
As ironic as it may sound, fans have always expected a surprising moment to happen at a festival of this magnitude.
For some, it's teasing new music and announcing new album details, but usually, it comes in the form of reunions and surprise guests.
Saturday night, on Billie's Saturday set, FINNEAS, Billie Eilish's brother and frequent collaborator, joined her sister on stage to perform "Your Power."
Immediately after the acoustic performance with his brother, Eilish took a pause that filled the arena with anticipation of her next move.
After pausing, Billie, FINNEAS, and a guitarist sat on three out of the four stools present onstage and said something that sent fans crazy,
"Oh, look! An empty seat. Who's that for? Everybody, can we please welcome my friend Hayley Williams!" she said.
Screaming and jumping in glee, Billie welcomed Hayley on stage with a huge bear hug before the latter took her seat.
To date, this is the first time that the Paramore frontwoman had performed in Coachella, she revealed.
Hayley Williams and Billie Eilish then sang one of Paramore's greatest hits, "Misery Business."
With fans singing in chorus, Hayley Williams showcased her iconic vocals belting out some parts of her Billboard Hot 100-charting song.
This is the second time that Billie Eilish pulled out guests on her Saturday performances.
Last weekend, Billie Eilish flew out Blur/Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn from London to California to sing "Getting Older" and Gorillaz's "Feel Good Inc," which Posdnuos of De La Soul joining them onstage.
However, for Hayley Williams, this is the first time she has performed publicly at a festival for quite a long time.
More interestingly, this is the first time for a long-time that Williams performed the song after she promised in 2018 that they would not be performing the song anymore because of its controversial lyrics.
