Cyndi Lauper brought out surprise guest Hayley Williams to join her on “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” at the singer’s Friday night concert in Paramore’s hometown of Nashville.
The performance came five years after Williams also made a guest appearance to duet the same 1983 hit during Kacey Musgraves’ concert at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium in Feb. 2019.
Lauper’s Girls Just Wanna Have Fun farewell tour has promised special guests at each stop, and during the last week the trek delivered with two more surprise appearances: Amanda Shires stopped by at the Washington, D.C. gig on Oct. 27, while Sam Smith joined Lauper onstage for “Time After Time” at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Wednesday.

Ahead of Lauper’s triumphant MSG show this week, Rolling Stone spoke to the singer about her farewell tour. “It’s a bucket list. I haven’t done an arena tour since ‘86. I’m excited because I get to have all these fantastic young women on tour with me,” Lauper said.
“So many years, I was told I can’t do a women’s tour because nobody will go see it. ‘Women don’t sell like men sell.’ Then I toured with Cher and we played for a million people. So bullshit.”
