Billie Eilish - Renowned Singer-Songwriter - What sparked her dislike for extended performances?
Billie Eilish, a 22-year-old singer, doesn't plan on performing for three hours like Taylor Swift or Beyoncé. She shared this during a Q&A session on the music streaming app Stationhead. When asked if she could imagine a marathon performance, she said, "I don't do three-hour shows, that's literally psychotic."
She continued, "Nobody wants that. You don't want it. I don't want it. I wouldn't even want to listen to my favorite artists for more than three hours. That's way too long."
Was Billie Eilish taking a jab at Taylor Swift?
A fan account for Taylor Swift saw this comment as a dig at the pop star. The account claimed that Billie Eilish's comments were targeting Swift because of her record-breaking Eras Tour, one of the few high-profile tours that lasts more than three hours. However, some fans criticized the attempt to create a feud between the two artists, with many emphasizing that they have a lot of mutual respect.
In 2023, Billie Eilish stated in an interview with the "Los Angeles Times," "Beyoncé and Taylor Swift are untouchable superstars."
Why Billie Eilish dislikes stadium gigs
"The fact that they can put on such a long show filled with so many incredible moments is really amazing," she said about the two famous performers. "But I don't like big stadium gigs. When you go to a stadium, you don't think the artist knows you're there. I want the audience to know that I see them with my own eyes."
Billie Eilish recently released her third album called "Hit Me Hard And Soft." She will start touring with it in September 2024. Her fans can rest assured that they won't have to spend hours at her concerts.
