Billie Eilish shares heartfelt post after joining Paramore on stage to sing "All I Wanted"
Earlier this week, Billie Eilish joined Paramore on stage at The Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
Billie Eilish previously invited Paramore's vocalist Hayley Williams on stage at Coachella to perform the band's hit single "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.
On Wednesday (19 July), Paramore returned the favour by inviting Eilish on stage to perform "All I Wanted" which features on their 2009 album, Brand New Eyes, and only saw its live debut last year at When We Were Young Festival.

Following the performance, Eilish took to her Instagram page to share a video of her performing an aerial silk routine to the song when she was younger, stating how it was a "dream come true" to be able to perform it live.
"i love you so much hayley holy shit. wish i could tell tiny me," she added to the post which also contained videos of the pair duetting.
During an interview in 2020, Williams expressed her love for Eilish. “We got a head start on the culture that is the internet now, and the fast-paced life that artists and people are living,” she said. “If I were Billie Eilish today – and granted she’s on a rocket that’s going so much higher than I would have ever even dreamed for Paramore – if that were me I would be insane. I am so happy there’s someone like her who has great, really cool family around her.”
In other Eilish news, she recently posted a BTS look at the music video for her contribution to the Barbie soundtrack, "What Was I Made For?".
“It’s supposed to be like vintage Barbie. I really wanted it to feel like how the old Barbies looked,” she says in the clip. “It was so goofy to type in ‘Billie Eilish iconic outfits,’ it was such a weird thing to type. But it was hard, though, there’s so many we wanted to put in, but we could only do a certain amount."
The video features iconic outfits that she’s worn in various music videos including “When the Party’s Over”, “Bellyache” and “Bad Guy.” She also showed off looks from Saturday Night Live, the Oscars, and the Grammys.
