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."

The TikTok has now been viewed more than 5.5 million times.

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

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