Paramore fans probably thought they'd never see Hayley Williams singing "Misery Business" again. Since 2018, the singer has decided to exclude the song from her concert setlist, even though it's one of the band's biggest hits, due to the misogynistic content of the lyrics.
It is possible, however, that Williams has faced some headaches in recent weeks due to the negative reaction to Machine Gun Kelly 's ." If a woman who is the author of the song herself decided that "calling someone a bitch isn't cool ," it seems inappropriate for a man to do it repeatedly live.
Last Saturday, the 23rd, the singer caused a stir among the audience by surprising Billie Eilish . Besides singing the hit “Happier Than Ever” with the American singer, Hayley surprised even more by performing an acoustic version of “Misery Business,” reclaiming control over her own composition.
In the live version, Billie Eilish was responsible for the controversial line "once a whore, you're nothing more," and the young woman decided not to say the word "whore" aloud. The performance generated a lot of buzz online, and Williams' decision was celebrated. Check out a video of the moment:
