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.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
