Billie Eilish has been one to make huge moves this year, despite not releasing a new album. She captured everyone’s heart with that “What Was I Made For?” song from the Barbie soundtrack. But this time, it’s not music that’s making the buzz for Billie, actually it all has to do with her coming out.
This alternative pop queen served us some major shock value after spilling the tea on her attraction to women in a recent interview. Most recently, the “bad guy” superstar showed up at Variety’s Hitmakers event, and guess what? She wasn’t even that worried about her previous declarations!
After one of the journalists at the event threw her the coming out question, she seemed pretty chill. The hitmaker revealed she didn’t plan on making a big thing out of her coming out. Actually, Billie Eilish thought we all knew it already, so she didn’t make a big deal out of it. Here’s what she said:
“No, I didn’t. But I kind of thought, ‘Wasn’t it obvious’? I didn’t realize people didn’t know. I just don’t really believe in it. I’m just like, ‘Why can’t we just exist’? I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I just didn’t talk about it. Whoops.”
For context: in November, Billie got real with Variety about her feelings for the ladies. She said she loved them and was attracted to them for real. After our girl spilled those facts, she didn’t pay too much attention until the article was released and thought to herself, “Oh, I guess I came out today. OK cool. It’s exciting to me because I guess people didn’t know, but it’s cool that they know.”
And that’s how Billie shows you can just be pretty chill about who you are!
