The Paramore singer improvised some lyrics putting her technicians on blast for overdoing the pyrotechnics, singing 'somebody's getting fired!'

Paramore's Hayley Williams is going viral on TikTok right now for her reaction to a pyrotechnic mishap during a recent show.

The band was in the middle of their hit "Hard Times" at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, on Monday night when the incident occurred.


Video footage shows the moment a terrifying misfire visibly shocked the performers.

Without missing a single beat, Williams flawlessly improvised some lyrics, singing:

"Somebody's getting fired..."
"Beyoncé did it so we can, too, and I can't wait to speak with you."

Beyoncé famously made the same statement during a concert in Rotterdam in 2009 when she had to yell for lighting while performing "Diva."

Williams continued:

"It's the third time you've done that sh*t to us."

Many viewers were highly entertained by Williams' flawless on-the-spot delivery.

Others, however, were more concerned with the safety of the band and the fans in the arena.

While that is some stellar improv, we're greatly relieved there were no injuries associated with this mishap.

Conservative Tries To Claim Disney+ Show Is Somehow Satanic Due To Joke—And Gets Instantly Fact-Checked

It's the holidays again, which of course means the yearly tradition of Christians having a meltdown about supposedly being persecuted by the existence of non-Jesusy Christmas stuff is back with a vengeance.

But the latest flap online is really a doozy in its audacity both because it's incredibly dumb and also a lie, obviously posted as a purposeful attempt to get attention.

Massachusetts Catholic Church Angers Conservatives With Its Brutal ICE-Themed Nativity Scene

The Christian Bible teaches that the Holy Family—Joseph, Mary, and Jesus—were residents of the Herodian ruled Nazareth, Galilee. Having traveled back to Joseph's ancestral home—Roman ruled Bethlehem, Judea—for the census, Mary and Joseph, in modern American parlance, would have been homeless immigrants/tourists having an "anchor baby" at the time of Jesus' birth.

While Joseph considered Galilee his immediate family's home, the trio would eventually flee to Egypt as refugees to escape from King Herod.

Trump Ripped After Forcing National Parks To Drop Free Entry On MLK Day And Juneteenth For Infuriating Reason

President Donald Trump was criticized after the National Park Service announced it will be dropping Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth for next year's calendar of free-entry days and adding Trump's birthday, which happens to fall on Flag Day, on June 14.

Last month, the Department of the Interior unveiled changes to what it now calls its “resident-only patriotic fee-free days,” expanding the calendar to include new dates like the Fourth of July weekend and President Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday, while dropping others that had honored the department itself, including the Bureau of Land Management’s anniversary.
