[Tamara Dhia] Billie Eilish is being called
an “it girl,” “Pop’s new hope,”
and “a musical prodigy,”
and all of these honors at only 15 years old.
It’s kind of wild, right? [Laughs]
It's freaking wild as heck.
Well, we gotta talk about what you're doing right now,
'cause you are just, like, tearing up the scene,
not only with your film — - Aw!
But, like, you also have millions of spins on Spotify.
There's so much going on in your life,
and now, I heard that you're gonna be —
[Audience cheering]
Yeah, give it up!
[Audience cheering]
And I heard now, you're gonna be starting
your own clothing line.
Obviously, I noticed your fit.
So, we gotta talk about your style,
and why is that important to you to
start going into fashion?
I mean, I just, I really like to be judged.
[Laughs]
So, like, even if it's good or bad, you know what I mean?
[Audience cheering]
So, it's like, you know, I wear like —
I just wanna be, you know, seen.
So, it's like, even if I wear something
that everyone thinks is, like, fugly, it's OK.
’Cause I walk in, and it’s like,
even if you like it, if you don't,
it's like, you're still like thinking about me, you know?
[Audience cheering]
[Matt Rife] You're making a statement.
Yeah, dude.
I like that. - Making a statement,
I love it, respect it.
You also made a statement
with your new debut EP,
‘dont smile at me.’
Why'd you call it that?
You know when you walk down, like, the side
of the road, and, like, people smile at you, and
the polite response is to smile back?
Yeah.
I hate that. It’s like —
[Laughs]
You know, it's like you're forced to smile.
Yeah.
Smiling makes me feel weak.
Makes me feel like, “You think I like you?”
[Audience laughs]
Got it.
So, you know, I just like —
if you see me on the road, don't smile at me.
You know? - Dang! I love it.
She don't give an F [laughs].
Alright. Well, you've written a lot
of your songs with your brother, Finneas.
So, what's it like working with your brother?
Is that annoying? Are you like —
I mean —
Are you guys similar in your personalities?
Yeah, we're really similar.
The thing is, like, we get along really well,
and I feel like some people hate their siblings,
and some people don't.
And I feel like I don't, you know?
Yeah. - Sometimes, it can be a little rough.
[Audience cheering]
Of course, that's family.
Shout out to siblings.
But I mean, it's really easy,
and we just get each other.
So, I don't know.
It's really fun.
Nice. - Yeah.
Well, next, we wanted you to add your favorite song

Why is that?
Like,just how badly do you wanna meet him?
I'm just in love with him, man.
[Matt] In love with Tyler? - [Tamara] Love Tyler.
You know —
Why? What about Tyler?
He just,
