Paramore brought some special guests on stage for their two-night residency at The Kia Forum.

Paramore are currently on the second leg of their North American tour in support of their seventh studio album, This Is Why. During the first of two shows at The Kia Forum in Los Angeles, they brought out some special guests, including Billie Eilish and MUNA.

During her Coachella performance, last year, Eilish brought Hayley Williams on stage to sing Paramore's hit "Misery Business". This happened just before Paramore brought the track out of retirement, following controversy over misogynistic lyrics, and marked the first time she had sang the song live in four years.

They also brought out MUNA to perform the album's title track, "This Is Why". Whilst Eilish sang the first verse and provided harmonies for "All I Wanted", MUNA simply brought the vibes and were dancing around on stage with Paramore.

Both Paramore and MUNA supported Taylor Swift on The Eras Tour, but they never played on the same dates. They most recently shared the same line-up at Bonnaroo festival. Paramore's newest guitarist Brian Robert Jones used to tour with MUNA, and even remixed their queer anthem "I Know A Place".

Earlier this month, Hayley Williams covered Beyoncé's "I Miss You" at their show in Houston, during the in the acapella segment of their show between the songs "Liar" and "Crystal Clear". Hayley Williams is known for incorporating different songs between their own, including Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", and Blondie's "Heart of Glass".

Over the same weekend, during the same interlude in which she sang "I Miss You", Williams snuck in a snippet of Paramore's "Tell Me How", which features on their 2017 album, After Laughter, and has only been played live once.

Paramore's latest studio album, This Is Why, is out now.
