Billie Eilish's Social Life Is A Lot Different These Days Compared To What It Used To Be
With a voice that defines a generation, a style that is uniquely her own, and a loyal fan base that spans the globe, Billie Eilish has become a musical phenomenon in just a few short years.
Eilish has released two albums, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and Happier Than Ever, both of which have broken records and garnered critical acclaim. Her debut album alone won five Grammy Awards in 2020, including Album of the Year, making her the youngest artist ever to win the award.
But it's not just her music that sets her apart. Eilish's fashion sense has also become a staple of her brand, often wearing baggy clothing and bold colors. Her style has inspired fans to embrace their own unique fashion choices and has even landed her partnerships with fashion brands.
With her stardom on the rise and over 109 million followers on Instagram, it's no wonder the singer feels pressure when it comes to going out in public. But Eilish says that's over.
Billie Eilish Talks About Her Social Life
The multi-award-winning artist has recently spoken out about the difficulties of fame and how it has impacted her personal life. While speaking with Fitzy & Wippa on Australia's Nova network, Eilish shared that she often avoids going out in public due to the pressures of being in the spotlight.
"I used to go out and walk around and do stuff. And I don't do that as much," Eilish revealed. "Because life is a little different now."
Eilish acknowledged that touring could be particularly challenging. "When I was on tour, I was just scared to step outside because I was worried," she said. "I'm more chill about it now. Now I'm more comfortable in it."
Despite the difficulties of fame, Eilish has found ways to cope. She has found solace in nature and has taken up bike riding to help clear her mind. "I have been doing more stuff," she said. "But I've also just been busy. We were in New Zealand, and we went on a bike ride... I've been going out more for the last couple of years."
Eilish has been vocal about the importance of staying true to oneself and not getting caught up in the hype of fame. She emphasized the importance of staying authentic and not letting others dictate her happiness. "It's all just a matter of figuring out how to make yourself happy and not let other people do that for you," Eilish said.
Eilish's message is important, especially in a society that values external validation and the approval of others. Her vulnerability and honesty serve as a reminder that even those in the public eye struggle with the pressures of fame and the impact it can have on personal well-being.
One person who Eilish feels comfortable with is her brother, and long-time collaborator, Finneas. But, the singer revealed she doesn't like working with other people.
Billie Eilish On Working And Collaborating With Others
Eilish opened up about her creative process and the importance of authenticity in her music. She revealed that she often writes songs in the middle of the night when she's alone and can fully focus on her thoughts and emotions.
"I don't like writing with people; I don't like working with people. I like doing it by myself," she said. "Because if I'm going to make something that's personal, it needs to be personal. I don't want to have to filter anything or explain anything."
Eilish's commitment to authenticity is evident in her music which often tackles heavy topics such as mental health and societal pressures. She explained that she wants her music to be relatable to her fans and to offer a sense of comfort and understanding.
"I'm not going to write a song that I don't feel or that I don't relate to," she said. "That's why people are drawn to my music because they feel like I'm talking to them. And I am."
Eilish also spoke about the importance of taking risks in her music and not being afraid to try new things. She cited her recent album, Happier Than Ever, as an example of pushing herself creatively.
"I didn't want to make the same thing twice; I didn't want to make the same album twice," she said. "I don't want to just give people what they expect from me. I want to give people what they didn't know they wanted."
One person she doesn't mind working with and someone who understands her creative process—her brother Finneas.
Finneas Talks About Collaborating With His Sister
Eilish's brother and collaborator, Finneas O'Connell, explained that their working relationship is based on mutual trust and respect, and they can push each other creatively.
"I think the thing that Billie and I have going for us is that we trust each other's opinions so much," he said. "It's really valuable to have someone whose opinion you really value and who values your opinion."
O'Connell also discussed the challenges of writing songs about personal experiences and the importance of being vulnerable in their music.
"I think the goal is always to make it as truthful as possible," he said. "And if that means being vulnerable, if that means revealing parts of yourself that you don't normally reveal, then that's what it takes to make great music. It's about connecting with people on a deeper level and sharing something that feels real and authentic."
