Paramore’s Hayley Williams Dedicates ‘Twilight’ Song to Robert Pattinson at Eras Tour Show

Hayley Williams showed vampire love for Robert Pattinson from the stage at Wembley Stadium in London.

During Paramore‘s opening set at Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour on Saturday (Aug. 17), Williams gave a shout-out to fellow support act Suki Waterhouse’s Twilight-starring fiancé and performed the band’s 2008 track “Decode.”

“Suki killed it earlier. But I would like to dedicate this next song to Mr. Waterhouse,” Williams is heard telling the crowd in a fan-captured clip on X (formerly Twitter). “He has the skin of a killer, Bella. It’s for you, Robert.”

“Decode” was featured on the teen vampire romances soundtrack, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The Grammy-nominated song — which also appeared on Paramore’s third album, Brand New Eyes, in 2009 — reached No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

It’s not clear if the 38-year-old actor, who shares a daughter with Waterhouse, was in attendance at Saturday night’s concert. The couple began dating in 2018 and got engaged in late 2023. Swift announced Waterhouse as one of her Eras Tour openers in London earlier this month.

“It feels like an honour to simply exist at the same time as @taylorswift, let alone be an opener for her on the biggest and best tour ever,” Waterhouse, who is close friends with Swift, wrote after the announcement. “A dream come true that I never want to wake up from. Playing at wembley stadium in my hometown!!”

Paramore’s performance of “Decode” wasn’t the only standout moment at Saturday’s Eras Tour stop. During the show, Swift delivered the tour’s live debut of Reputation‘s “I Did Something Bad” during the acoustic section of the show.

“The whole tour I’ve done 100s of songs, but I’ve not done one of my favorite ones,” teased Swift, guitar in hand in front of 92,000 people, “because I was waiting for the right crowd.”

The pop superstar’s surprise songs set also featured a piano mashup that pulled at the heartstrings: “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,” from The Tortured Poets Department, and “Coney Island,” from Evermore.

Swift has two more Wembley shows (Aug. 19-20) before wrapping her run of London tour dates.
