While for now, Billie Eilish is hanging at home and social distancing like the rest of
us, she has one MAJOR WORRY for when we begin to relax the rules and this stay at home,
don’t go outside, see your friends, etc. is all over.
What’s up?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News bringing you all the news updates from my
Clevver home studio and lets get into the latest with Billie Eilish.
And I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to the day when we can all hug our
friends again, see our families again, and do things like go to concerts again.
And many people are talking about how they will never take those simple things in life
for granted again!
But Billie Eilish doesn’t think that’s going to be the case.
She actually just revealed that she thinks people will take normal life for granted again
post-social distancing.
And we’ll get into everything she said but first, go ahead and subscribe to Clevver News

Alright so we know that Billie Eilish is one of many artists who’s had to either cancel
or postpone their tours to adhere to the strict social distancing protocols we are all abiding
by.
And since then she’s just been hanging at home, relaxing, and doing some reflecting
like all of us are.
Billie has asked her fans to take this whole situation seriously while still reassuring
us that everything is going to be ok.
And she’s shared that she misses her fans with this post writing, “i miss everything...
hope everyones hanging in there”
But she actually just revealed that self isolation actually suits her.
In a new interview with the Telekom Electronic Beats podcast, Billie said quote, “It sounds
so introverted and, like, loner-ish, but I’m really enjoying being alone.
It's been nice.
I feel like everybody on the internet has been talking about how they've been on FaceTime
all day long with their friends, and I have this feeling of like, I love my friends, I
can't wait to see them, I do miss them a lot, but at the same time I'm good being alone.
I like being alone.
I haven't had this time off since I was like 12!”
And she’s made good use of her alone time by fostering two puppies named Jem and Miss
Maudie, which if you did your 10th grade homework, you know those names are two characters in
To Kill A Mockingbird.
Billie said quote, “I've fostered two puppies, which has been amazing and a full-time job
at the same time.
But it's actually been great.
It’s like, when else am I going to have time to do that?”
But in the same interview, Billie expressed some of her fears about what it will be like
going back to normal after all of this.
She said quote, “Here's the thing: if I'm being real, I feel like as soon as we can
see people again and go out, we're going to be so happy and grateful, and in about three
days, we're all going to take it for granted again.”
And Billie went on to explain why she has this somewhat pessimistic outlook on the situation.
She said quote, “Because that's the way people work […] It's the way humans are
made, you miss something so bad once you don't have it, you never think about it when you
have it and when it's gone, it's like, 'Oh my God.'
Then when it comes back, [you] fall right back into that place of, I'll have this for
the rest of my life, I don't have to worry about it being gone.'”
And even though Billie might think we will snap back into taking the little things for
granted again, she hopes people keep this new perspective somewhere in the back of their
minds.
She said quote, “But it's crazy.
Everybody knows that you can lose anything at any time, but we never thought we would
lose seeing our friends, and going out and having fun.
So hopefully people keep it in their minds.”
And she revealed that she herself is going to do her best to remember this challenging
time going forward.
Billie said quote, “I'm going to try my hardest.
I don’t know if I'll be able to because obviously I'm human like everybody else, but
I'll try my hardest to be so grateful to be around people and socializing again.
But it's crazy — I hope we all just take it in more.”
And I want to know what you guys think about what Billie said.
Do you agree with her and think that we will all just go back to normal pretty quickly?
Let me know down in the comments below and feel free to get that conversation started.
Fans are taking to Twitter to share their thoughts.
One person agrees with Billie and wrote quote, “tbh i kinda agree w Billie about how people
will take life for granted again going forward.
i feel like that's how things are after every major tragedy in the world... we all eventually
just go back to normal and forget.”
But another fan disagreed with Billie writing quote, “I love me some billie eilish but
I gotta disagree with her on this one.
I know that I will NEVER take for granted things like seeing my grandma again.
Every moment is precious and this experience has changed my whole outlook on life.
We have never experienced anything like THIS.”
So clearly people are torn on whether or not to agree with Billie on this one.
Do you agree or disagree?
I think one thing we can all agree on, is how much we’ve loved her live performances
that she’s been serving up from home.
At the end of March, Billie and her brother, Finneas, performed an acoustic version of
their song "Bad Guy" as part of the iHeartRadio Living Room Concert for America and had a
very heartfelt message to kick off their performance!
And if that wasn’t enough for ya, she's also going to be performing alongside Lady
Gaga, Lizzo, and many other artists for the upcoming televised "One World: Together at
Home" concert.
The show is being put on by Global Citizen and will air live on Saturday, April 18.
So even when we’re all physically distant, Billie is working to make sure her fans are
still connected to her and her music.
And we love to see it!
