What’s up?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News and in a new interview Billie Eilish opened
up about everything from her new music, to the most vulnerable time in her life, to an
emotionally abusive relationship she unfortunately experienced.
Let’s get into it.
Billie Eilish sat down for a brand new interview with Vanity Fair for their Vanity Fair Slow
Zoom interview.
In this series, the questions get increasingly personal as the camera gets closer and closer
to her face.
Billie’s interview was broken down into four categories: identity, fame, family, and
work.
And Billie really didn’t hold back with her answers.
While talking about her identity, she opened up about a time in her life when she felt
the most trapped.
While Billie doesn’t reveal much about her personal dating life, she did admit she felt
extremely trapped in a past relationship.
“When I was in a relationship that was very emotionally abusive.”
Billie went on to talk about being one of the most famous artists in the world.
She said the best part of fame is being able to be heard and have a voice and a platform.
And while she doesn’t take those things for granted, Billie said the worst part of
being famous is never having any sort of privacy EVER.
When asked if she ever gets the chance to “forget she’s a celebrity”, Billie said
QUOTE, “yeah sometimes…yeah…
I think, when I’m at my parents house, scootering around, biking around or like in the ocean…
there’s little things, definitely.”
Billie also discussed a moment in her career when she felt most vulnerable, and surprisingly,
it was after her historic Grammy wins.
In case you forgot, Billie swept the 2020 Grammys and made history as the youngest person
to win all four major categories.
But amid all the shock and excitement, Billie said she still felt extremely vulnerable.
“Getting compliments left at right and at the same time, the entire internet telling
me I didn’t deserve it.
So it was a weird week, it was very, it was weird.
But who got the Grammys?
Me.”
And in case you’re a fan who looks at Billie and all of her success, and wishes you were
her, Billie has some advice.
“Don’t wish you were me, it’s not, it’s not what you think and also you don’t want
to be anyone but yourself I cannot stress that enough.”
And Billie is right!
We are all the only version of ourselves and can make our lives whatever we want them.
Billie never fails to impress us with her wisdom considering she’s only 18 years old.
Towards the end of the interview, Billie also discussed her career and what she’d be doing
if she wasn’t pursuing music.
And she had quite a few careers in mind if music didn’t work out.
Billie revealed that she thinks she’d be a backup dancer or that she’d work at Jamba
Juice or Trader Joes.
Honestly, Billie would’ve been great at whatever she put her mind to!
And speaking of putting her mind to something, she spoke about how much time she’s spent
working on her upcoming album.
Billie said that the creative process is completely different than when she was working on When
We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?.
She said she’s grown so much as an artist and a songwriter and is extremely proud of
the music she’s been creating.
“I feel like a different person.
Like I really couldn’t be happier with what I’ve been creating and like couldn’t be
prouder of myself.”
And we couldn’t be more excited to hear it!
We don’t know exactly when her new album is coming out, but with how much she’s been
teasing it, we’re hoping new music from Billie is coming soon.
Her documentary also drops next month on Apple TV, so who knows, it could be sooner than
we think!
We’ll keep you guys posted if we hear anything else about Billie’s new music.
