Billie eilish hot ones interview7/13/2023 Billie then tried to find comfort in the smiling face of a nearby baby-who screamed, cried, and ran away as soon as Billie looked in its direction. The guy wound up ditching her at the theater, leaving with his butler. It was at the movies … it was the day before Valentine’s Day, and then he kissed me and said, ‘That was not as magical as I thought it would be,’” Billie recalled. One of the only dates has ever been on ended with the boy being brought home by his butler and a random baby crying in the future pop star’s face. “If this hadn’t happened at that age, I would’ve been doing some reckless shit,” she said. “There’s a part of me that feels like … I didn’t get to be a teenager- like, a normal one.” Ultimately, however, she told Howard she’s grateful success came-a-knockin’ so early on. “Do you ever worry that it happened too fast?” he asked her. Howard was enthralled by her story and curious about her meteoric rise to success. On Monday, the 17-year-old pop star made her first visit to the Stern Show studio. The siblings continued writing and recording music at home and in the span of a few short years she’s put out a string of hits amassing over a billion streams and has also became the first artist born in this millennium with a no. Her life changed forever when she and her older brother Finneas O’Connell self-published her performing a song he’d written called “Ocean Eyes.” Billie, still just 13, became a viral sensation overnight. After a series of injuries sidelined her dance aspirations in 2015, the homeschooled wunderkind soon discovered her passion and talent for music. It’s about listening to people and actually just caring about them.Billie Eilish’s ascension to superstardom is as fascinating as it is historic. It’s not about who’s sadder, who’s gone through worse. It’s not about trying to up their depression. “I feel like some people just try to act like they know, but just listen. That’s okay,” she says, encouraging listening rather than trying to empathize in a way you may not genuinenly be able to. When someone you love loses someone very close to them, you can’t say, ‘I feel you.’ You just can’t. “You just can’t understand it, and you can’t act like you do. With so many songs that tackle dark, personal topics with often bleak imagery, Eilish tells Lowe that “there’s only a few people in the world that can understand this,” referring to life-changing events like becoming a parent, losing a loved one, fame or depression. I grew up with this girl that was a best friend of mine, and she liked girls, and when we made this song, she loved it because she was in love with a girl who didn’t like girls. “I also feel like you can relate to it, no matter what. Obviously that’s up to whoever is being offended by it, but I just mean it’s so clear that it’s not an insult,” she says about the song in which she wishes a boy who didn’t love her back was gay. You have to keep going.”īillie Eilish Responds to 'Wish You Were Gay' Backlash: 'It's Not Meant to Be an Insult'Įilish also responded again to the backlash to her song “I Wish You Were Gay,” which she admits might offend some people, but which she continues to stress was not at all meant to ruffle feathers. “I’m not saying that something isn’t offensive. You shouldn’t be mourning them every two seconds for the rest of your life. Then, you’re gone for long enough that life moves on and they keep doing things. I know that you leave and it’s a little bit of your friends being sad. … Having been on tour, I know how it works. “It’s a weird balance, because I want to grow in my life, and grow up and have a life. We were talking about it the other day, we’re just like, ‘I’m 17, dude.’ I can’t have my life exactly like this forever, and he can’t either,” she says, noting that her brother just bought a house with his girlfriend and got a dog. “We can’t have this be the rest of our lives. She says they’ve talked about how this level of intense fame can’t last forever, realizing that everyone has to keep living their own lives as well. In just a few short years, though, Eilish has gone from jumping that barrier to be right under her favorite artists to being the one whose barriers are being jumped and touring the world with Finneas at her side. “I perform like I’m right in the pit,” she tells Lowe, describing how she would jump the fence from GA to VIP to get closer to Lil Wayne and Tyler, the Creator years ago, a no-barriers vibe she hopes her music now transmits to her fans. In fact, she would often put a pillow over her face when she sang, not wanting to come off too show-y. Though she exudes an unshakable confidence onstage and in her videos, Eilish and O’Connell both say Billie was very shy as a kid, never wanting to be “the singer” when someone asked her to belt a tune at a party.
