- Stephen Curry, of the Golden Warriors, joined Paramore onstage to sing "Misery Business."
- Curry was captured in multiple clips absolutely killing it onstage with Hayley Williams.
Stephen Curry, four-time NBA champion and Golden State Warriors point guard, added another accomplishment to his already lengthy resume on Monday night: Paramore guest singer.
The two-time NBA MVP made a surprise appearance onstage during the group's concert at the Chase Center in San Francisco, also known as Curry's home court. In a clip uploaded to Twitter by the Chase Center's account, Curry crouches down, gesticulating passionately as he belts out the lyrics to the bridge of "Misery Business": "I watched his wildest dreams come true / Not one of them involving you / Just watch my wildest dreams come true / Not one of them involving."
Curry knows those words. He feels them. And onstage, he's absolutely killing it.

Bay Area radio station Live 105 uploaded a longer clip of Curry onstage with Paramore, dancing and singing with lead singer Hayley Williams. When the song's final chorus hit, Curry leaned in with Williams to belt: "Oh, I never meant to brag / But I got him where I want him now."

As captured in another recording of the moment uploaded to YouTube by user mikedefault27, Williams introduced Curry while the rest of the band vamped behind them.
"So, look," Williams said. "You know, us and Steph, we go back a few years. And tonight is our reunion. Tonight, we're gonna sing something together, and listen. From the moment that Steph hits the mic, this is no longer a Paramore show. This is a Steph Curry show, all right? So, are you gonna show him how you turn up at a Steph Curry show?"
Paramore had previously removed "Misery Business" from its setlist, Rolling Stone reported, due to its misogynistic lyrics. After reviving the hit and bringing it back on tour, the band now welcomes fans from the audience or celebrity guests onstage to sing the song.
