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.

Jesse Watters' Fox News Cohosts Call Out His 'Creepy' Rant About 'High-Value Man' Stephen Miller

Fox News personality Jesse Watters weirded out his own co-hosts after he claimed that New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez secretly wants to sleep with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller after she "short-shamed" him.

In an Instagram livestream earlier this week, Ocasio-Cortez said “one of the best ways that you can dismantle a movement of insecure men is by making fun of them." She called Miller "a clown" and suggested he—the architect of President Donald Trump's immigration policies—takes out his anger on others because he's "like, 4 feet 10 inches."

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Trolls Trump For Struggling To Stay Awake During Antifa Roundtable

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump for appearing to fall asleep during a White House roundtable about Antifa, which the administration recently designated a "domestic terror organization" even though it's not an organization at all.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
