Paramore and Lil Uzi Vert perform “Misery Business” together at Madison Square Garden.
This is the first time Lil Uzi Vert and Paramore have performed together, following the rapper’s failed attempts at a collaboration with Hayley Williams. Williams shared in 2020 that Lil Uzi Vert had reached out for a collaboration, but she turned down the request as she felt she would have been uncomfortable with the fame and attention that would stem from the crossover.
“I know that fans are going to be so pissed at me for saying this, but I literally wrote him back on Instagram and I was like, ‘Buddy, I love you so much, but I don’t want to be that famous,’” she recalled.
On Wednesday night, Paramore’s second go at Madison Square Garden was accentuated by a surprise appearance from Lil Uzi Vert for — you guessed it — another fresh take on “Misery Business.”
“[We’ve been] talking for a minute, but this is the first time we’ve met in person. I love you,” Williams told Uzi on stage before hugging them, as captured in a video by Robbie Fox and re-posted by Kyle Denis. “You’ve said too many nice things about me. You are so sweet to me and to Paramore, so can we do this bridge again together? And then we’re gonna melt their faces off. Alright? New York City, are you ready? Here we go!”
