Paramore just gave Misery Business its Eras Tour live debut – at the request of Taylor Swift.

While supporting the pop icon on The Eras Tour throughout Europe, the band have been mixing things up with their setlist and playing one new song per night (at the first four shows in Paris fans got Brick By Boring Brick, Rose Colored Boy, Forgiveness and Decode).

And, heading on over to Sweden for a run of dates at the Friends Arena in Solna, they chose to play their classic Riot! single on May 17, with Hayley Williams jokingly introducing the song by saying, “So by request of Queen Taylor, here’s your fucking breakthrough hit, Stockholm!”

And now, it looks as though Misery Business could be staying put, with Paramore’s dates on May 18 and 19 at the Friends Arena also including it. However, they mixed things up by giving tour debuts to Pool and Running Out Of Time in place of That’s What You Get.

Check out the initial May 17 setlist:

1. Hard Times
2. Burning Down The House (Talking Heads cover)
3. Still Into You
4. Caught in the Middle
5. Misery Business (tour debut; Taylor Swift request)
6. The Only Exception
7. That's What You Get
8. Ain't It Fun
9. This Is Why

The European and UK leg of The Eras Tour runs all the way through to August 20, where it’ll finish up at London’s Wembley Stadium.
