Josh Dun liked her post on Twitter showing his support for her. While the cover is pretty magnificent to watch, she’s done plenty of other covers for amazing bands including Bring Me The Horizon, blink-182, Foo Fighters and plenty more.
I had so much fun filming this montage for @btsport. This was my first time speaking and acting. I also got to go to my first live football game. @bmthofficial @ChelseaFC @FCBayernEN @ZildjianCompany @LudwigDrumsHQ @vicfirth pic.twitter.com/GQ51R4sdIs

More on twenty one pilots
Last week, twenty one pilots became the second rock band ever to achieve more than a single one-billion-streamed song on Spotify.
The most recent track to hit the mark was their 2016 hit “Heathens.”
It’s very rare for any artist in any genre to have even one song with over a billion streams. In fact, less than 100 musicians are currently on the list.
The band already achieved that feat with their massively popular “Stressed Out,” while other artists to accomplish this include the Chainsmokers, Post Malone, Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran and more. The first rock band to achieve this was Imagine Dragons.
