Paramore paid a touching tribute to Robert Pattison while opening for Taylor Swift at London’s Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
Pattinson became a global heartthrob as vampire Edward Cullen in the 2008 movie Twilight, which featured a Paramore song called Decode.
While opening for Swift at Wembley this Saturday, Paramore delivered a rendition of Decode and shouted out Pattison, 38 – hinting he may have been in the crowd.
The band’s lead singer Hayley Williams showered praise on Pattinson’s fiancée Suki Waterhouse, 32, who was also one of Swift’s opening acts that night.
Williams, 35, then affectionately dedicated ‘this next song to Mr. Waterhouse,’ in footage that a fan account posted to X, formerly Twitter.
Swift and Waterhouse are longtime friends, and although they are not touring together, Waterhouse made a special appearance at her pal’s Saturday show.
‘You guys see Suki over here? Suki f***ing killed it, Suki Waterhouse,’ said Williams warmly onstage that night, earning a round of applause from the crowd.
‘But I would like to dedicate this next song to Mr. Waterhouse,’ Williams said, prompting another burst of cheers. ‘This is for you, Robert.’
Leaving no doubt as to the song she was about to sing, she also repeated one of Pattinson’s famous lines from Twilight: ‘This is the skin of a killer, Bella.’
Based on the bestselling young adult novels by Stephenie Meyer, the four Twilight Saga films starred Pattison as a vampire called Edward Cullen falls for a normal girl called Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart.
Decode had not been a regular feature of Paramore’s opening performances for Taylor as they accompanied her on tour, according to People.
During another part of their performance, Paramore were forced to briefly stop the show after noticing a fan in the crowd who needed medical attention.
The band, who have been supporting the singer during the European leg of her Eras Tour, briefly interrupted their hit song to check on a member of the crowd.
A few lines into Only Exception, Williams, who noticed a fan needed medical attention, said to the rest of her bandmates: ‘We’ve got to stop,’ before asking some members in the crowd: ‘Are you guys all right?’
The sold-out stadium quickly fell silent as the fan received help from security, and Hayley said to the crowd: ‘Sorry, let’s just make sure they’re okay before we start again’.
While the entire stadium fell silent, Hayley then attempted to lighten the mood with a joke by saying: ‘Wow, Wembley it seems really quiet in here now.’
It comes after Swiftie fans were left furious during the opening moments of the singer’s Wembley show, after being trapped outside the stadium as she kicked off her concert on Thursday.
The Cruel Summer hitmaker, 34, is currently back in London for five more shows – however, some excited fans missed the opening moments of her first concert in the capital.
MailOnline can also reveal that some fans missed the first few songs – from the Lover era – as they were waiting to get their wrist bands.
Swifties were left angered as they were refused entry to the stadium due to a maintenance issue after security ran out of wristbands.
Fans were pleading to be let in quicker so that they didn’t miss the start of the show, where the star sang Cruel Summer, The Man and Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince first.
A concert goer said: ‘It was chaos they wouldn’t let anyone in without a wristband. They would bring some up but run out and you had to wait ages each time before they got more.’
It comes after Taylor, 34, announced five new opening acts on Instagram earlier this month including Raye and Suki Waterhouse for the dates at Wembley Stadium.
Fronted by Hayley, the band has been touring Europe with Taylor and they’ll be accompanied by an array of female talent at the Wembley shows.
Apart from Paramore, who are slated to play at every show, the other artists will each perform for one night.
On 16 August British artist Holly Humberstone performed, with singer and actress Suki Waterhouse taking to the stage the following night.
Maisie Peters will perform on 19 August, before multi-BRIT Award-winning singer RAYE takes her turn as Taylor’s support act on 20 August.
Announcing the news, Taylor wrote on her Story: ‘Just wanted to tell you about something coming up that I’ve been so excited about: we’re adding 5 incredible artists to our 5 Wembley shows, going on right before Paramore!!’
‘I asked them to play on this tour because I love their music and think they’ll absolutely smash it in Wembley Stadium!! Go check out their music if you haven’t already! Gonna be a fun 5 nights!!!’
These August performances mark Taylor’s final UK tour dates and bring her total number of shows at Wembley Stadium to eight nights – the most she’s played in any city during her record-breaking tour.
After these performances, the singer will take a break until the tour picks up again in Canada in November.
She will then continue the rest of her tour dates across the Atlantic before the Eras Tour concludes in December 2024.
