In a surprise for fans, Hayley Williams took the stage alongside Cyndi Lauper at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on November 1, igniting the crowd with a performance of “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.”
As the two icons belted out the timeless hit, the audience erupted in cheers, blending generations of fans.
Williams has also recently collaborated on performances with Taylor Swift of “Castles Crumbling,” and the Foo Fighters of “My Hero”.
According to NME, Williams had previously covered the song with Kacey Musgraves, but this marked her first live collaboration with Lauper. Their chemistry onstage was electric, creating a moment that felt both nostalgic and exhilarating.
Williams has also covered songs by the Cardigans and Audrey Hepburn on Instagram.
This appearance was part of Lauper’s ongoing “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour,” which has already featured surprise guests like Sam Smith earlier this week. With a heartfelt introduction, Lauper expressed her gratitude for her fans, while Williams echoed this sentiment, celebrating female empowerment through music.
Fans can watch the live performance and experience the magic for themselves in the footage here.
As Lauper continues her journey across the U.S. until early December, one thing is clear: the celebration of fun and music is alive and well.
