Hayley Williams performs B.o.B’s “Airplanes” live for the first time since 2010 at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York. During the set, she brings out rapper Rico Nasty to join the song.
Multiple outlets describe the appearance as a notable collaboration, framed around the song’s long absence from Williams’ live repertoire. Consequence reports that Rico Nasty adds new verses to the performance, while NME highlights that the show marks the first time Williams plays the 2010 hit in 16 years. Both accounts place the moment in the same concert setting and identify the guests and song involved, focusing on the rarity of the live return and the added contemporary feature.
The coverage aligns on the essentials—venue, performer lineup, and the song’s timing—while differing mainly in emphasis. NME focuses on the historical significance of the first live performance in 16 years; Consequence foregrounds Rico Nasty’s role and the updated verse content.
