Billie Eilish is in the house at the 2020 BRIT Awards!

The 18-year-old “bad guy” singer and her brother Finneas hit the red carpet at the event held at The O2 Arena on Tuesday (February 18) in London, England.

She donned a tan-colored ensemble featuring the Burberry pattern on her coat, socks, clear visor, and nails.

Billie is nominated for International Female Solo Artist. She’ll also perform her James Bond theme song “No Time to Die.”

Billie Eilish isn’t British, even if her name does sound like a pastoral Cornish hamlet. She did write the latest James Bond theme, however, for the upcoming No Time to Die, and as we all know, James Bond is a British action legend and sex symbol second only to Paddington. So days after debuting “No Time to Die,” Eilish performed the new Bond theme at the 2020 BRIT Awards on Tuesday, accompanied by Hans Zimmer, Johnny Marr, and her brother and collaborator, Finneas. As BRIT Awards host Jack Whitehall introduced her in his opening monologue, she is “the only teenager in the world who makes Greta Thunberg look lazy.” After the “world exclusive” performance, Eilish went from “No Time to Die” to “so time to cry” when she won the show’s coveted Best International Female Solo Artist award, and thanked the London audience. “I’ve felt very hated recently,” she said, “and when I was on the stage and I saw you guys all smiling at me, it genuinely made me want to cry. And I want to cry right now, so thank you.”

Justin Bieber and Billie Eilish‘s relationship goes deeper than that “Bad Guy” remix. Eilish is a noted Belieber, and Bieber has now opened up about his protective feelings toward the young musician.

In an emotional interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe tied to his new album Changes, Bieber tearfully spoke about his reaction to meeting Eilish at Coachella last year and his desire to protect her from the struggles he faced as a young star in the music business.

“I definitely feel protective of her. It was hard for me being that young and being in the industry and not knowing where to turn,” Bieber said. “Everyone telling me they love me, and, you know, just turn their back on you in a second.

“If she ever needs me, I’m gonna be here for her,” he continued. “I don’t want her to go through anything I went through. I don’t wish that upon anybody. If she ever needs me, I’m just a call away.”

Eilish responded to Bieber’s comments on Instagram, simply writing, “stream changes,” alongside a collection of photos showing off her younger self’s Bieber fever.

Bieber has been opening up like never before in the lead-up to, and now wake of, Changes‘ release, participating in a raw, revealing YouTube docuseries and speaking candidly about his struggles with mental and physical illness, addiction, and fame.

“He’s amazing. He’s so sweet and, like, I feel — just, honestly, I feel for him, man. He’s been through a lot, dude,” Eilish told Ellen DeGeneres last year of her feelings toward Bieber. After the duo met for the first time at Coachella, Bieber posted an Instagram story commenting, “Long and bright future ahead of you.”1

Billie Eilish has talked frankly about how social media trolling is ruining her life and how she’s quit the internet during an interview on BBC Breakfast.

The Bad Guys singer spoke candidly about how nasty social media users have stopped her from interacting with her fans and how she stopped using platforms to engage with them only two days ago.

‘I stopped reading comments full because it was ruining my life,’ Billie said as she sat alongside her brother Finneas, who co-wrote her Bond track No Time To Die.

‘It’s weird, the cooler things you get to do, the more people hate you. It’s crazy.’

‘What do we do about that, how do we make it better?’ asked interviewer Louise Minchin.

‘I don’t know dude,’ Billie replied. ‘Cancel culture is crazy. The internet is just a bunch of trolls. A problem is that a lot of it is really funny. I think that’s the issue, I think that’s why nobody really stops.

‘Also, I would say that it’s anything for a joke. You’d say anything to make people laugh. I’ve experienced that. Growing up, I’d say things that people would laugh at and then later I’d realise that wasn’t cool to say.’

Billie continued: ‘It’s worse, it’s way worse than it’s ever been. It’s insane that I’ve even been reading comments up until this point.

‘I should have stopped long ago. The problem is that I’ve wanted to stay in touch with the fans and keep talking to them, but people have ruined that for me.

‘The internet is ruining my life so I stay off.’

Billie Eilish gave an emotional acceptance after she won best international female solo artist at the 2020 BRIT Awards. The award was presented by Sporty Spice Mel C, and Mel C cheered as she read out Eilish’s name, who had just performed her new Bond song “No Time to Die” live for the very first time.

“Thank you, Sporty,” Eilish said as she collected the award from Mel C. Eilish beat LizzoLana Del ReyAriana Grande, and Camilla Cabello to the award and called her fellow nominees “the only reason I exist.”

Eilish, who has won her first BRIT award at just 18 years old, then got candid for the rest of her speech.

“I’ve felt very hated recently. And, when I was on the stage [performing ‘No Time to Die’] and I saw you guys all smiling at me…” Eilish said, pausing to catch her breath as the crowd erupted and cheered her on.

“It genuinely made me wanna cry. And I wanna cry right now, so thank you.”

Eilish’s voice broke, and it was clearly an emotional moment for the singer, who recently said that she has stopped reading Instagram comments for the sake of her mental health.

Billie Eilish has made it no secret that she’s a huge fan of Justin Bieber, once calling him her “first love.” Since she’s catapulted to super-stardom, Bieber has shared his love for the young musician, too, appearing on the remix of her No. 1 single “Bad Guy.” In a new interview with Zane Lowe following the release of his album Changes, Bieber explained just how much he relates to her and what she means to him.

“She’s crazy, she’s a superstar,” Bieber told Zane when discussing their first time meeting. “I wanted to protect the moment, we never know how many opportunities we’re gonna get with anybody. I’m tearing up thinking about it just with the Kobe situation… You just never know. I just wanted to be a good example. I definitely feel protective of her. It was hard for me, being that young and being in the industry and not knowing where to turn. And everyone, you know, telling me they loved me and, you know, just turning their back on you in a second. So it’s hard because I want her to know that she can count on me.”

Both of them grew up in the spotlight, becoming famous overnight. When he started talking about his experiences as a young pop star, he started to tear up.

Eilish, clocking on to what Bieber said in the interview, shared a clip on her Instagram alongside old photos of her sporting his merch. “At the end of the day, I don’t wanna—I’m never gonna force myself to be in a relationship with her, it has to be natural right? So I just kinda, you know, let her do her thing and if she ever needs me I’m gonna be here for her,” he continued. “I just wanna protect her, you know? I don’t want her to go through what I want through, I wouldn’t wish that upon anybody.”

Elsewhere in the interview, he also touched upon his marriage with Hailey Baldwin. “I’m freaking married now. I got the best wife in the world,” he continued. “She supports me through so much. I’m really honored to be her husband… This is an album I wrote in the first year of our marriage, so it’s fresh. There’s so much more to learn about commitment, and building trust, and foundation. I’m looking forward to continuing to build and make music that’s going to reflect that.”

THE COACHELLA MUSIC FESTIVAL, not necessarily known for its adorable moments, offered up the pop equivalent of two baby pandas playing when, under the pink arena lights and to the accompaniment of the cheering and frantic uploading of a thousand teenage witnesses, Billie Eilish met her idol, Justin Bieber, for the first time last April.

The scene, touching as it was, begged consideration of its broader culture significance. Here were two pop prodigies, ages 17 and 25, at rather different points in their career arcs. The walls of Eilish’s childhood bedroom were once papered with images of Bieber, and when he enfolded her oversize denim bootleg Louis Vuitton–logoed self in a long embrace, a chasm seemed to yawn underneath their adjacent but distinct generations. Eilish, whose full-length album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, debuted at number one a week before the festival began, is not the first young singer to make hit records out of dark sonic tableaux. But the totality of her effect on the pop landscape—from her whispered anti-anthems to her bloblike anti-fashion to the sense of it’s-really-me relatability she provides to her fans—has made her immediate predecessors seem almost passé.

“This whole time I’ve been getting this one sentence,” Eilish says, “like, I’m a rule-breaker. Or I’m anti-pop, or whatever. I’m flattered that people think that, but it’s like, where, though? What rule did I break? The rule about making classic pop music and dressing like a girly girl? I never said I’m not going to do that. I just didn’t do it.”

The Enduring Sexism of ‘Resting Bitch Face’

The Enduring Sexism of ‘Resting Bitch Face’

WWas Idina Menzel really perplexed by Eminem rising up from the stage at the Academy Awards, or did she just overhear a baffling comment from a person sitting nearby?

Was Billie Eilish actually pulling a face at Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph’s comedy routine, or was she just wondering if she remembered to lock her car?

Spare a thought for the A-list attendees at award shows. In exchange for a swag bag and the minuscule chance of winning a career-defining trophy, attendees sit captive in unforgiving formal wear for hours while camera crews roam the aisles, hunting for an errant scowl, gasp, or skeptically raised eyebrow. What they’re seeking is that much-memefied award-show staple known as “the reaction shot.”

Most of us aren’t subject to this level of scrutiny. But the memes of Menzel and Eilish — which arguably went more viral than the actual awards on Oscars night — are a high-profile reminder that our facial expressions are always being watched and judged. They’re also evidence of how often observers fill in the blank of a neutral facial expression with an assumption — and how those assumptions can be tainted by the perceptions and prejudices of the observer.

This is especially true when it comes to women’s facial expressions—as those of us who’ve been told to “smile” by a complete stranger know too well. “Resting Bitch Face” is a catchall term for the unsmiling expression some people wear when they’re not thinking about communicating with their face. (That it includes the gendered expletive “bitch” tells us whose faces we’re policing this way.)

The look is hardly new — think of all those blasé baby Jesuses in medieval triptychs! — but the term exploded onto public consciousness in 2013 with a Funny or Die parody PSA for “bitchy resting face.” The video also talks about the condition’s male counterpart, “asshole face,” but that phrase did not take off in the same way as “resting bitch face” did.

“Bad Guy” led to good news all around for teenage phenom Billie Eilish at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night.

The 18-year-old singer swept all four major honors at the 62nd annual Grammys, winning album, record and song of the year as well as best new artist – the first person to do so since Christopher Cross in 1981 – plus picked up best pop vocal album on a night that honored young talent and the loss of NBA star Kobe Bryant.

“Tonight is for Kobe,” pronounced pop sensation Lizzo as she kicked off the ceremony, one of several tributes to the Los Angeles Laker during the show hosted by Alicia Keys.

Lizzo won solo pop performance for “Truth Hurts,” Tyler, the Creator took best rap album, and country mainstay Tanya Tucker won her first Grammys in her long career. In addition to awards, there were plenty of memorable performances, including emotional turns from Camila Cabello and Demi Lovato.
