Eilish recently said in an interview that she was attracted to women.
“I didn’t know that people didn’t know that,” Billie Eilish said in an interview. It was only in November that the artist announced that she was attracted to women both physically and mentally. Many fans reacted enthusiastically to the musician’s honest words, but she herself was rather surprised.
On the When asked about her queerness on the red carpet for the “Variety Hitmakers of the Year” event, the 21-year-old explained: “I didn’t know, but I kind of thought, isn’t that obvious?”
“Oh! I think I just came out.”
Opposite “VarietyEilish recently summed up her feelings about the female gender: “I have deep connections to the women in my life, the friends in my life, the family in my life. I feel physically attracted to women. But I’m also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence.”
The musician only realized afterwards that she had just come out because she probably didn’t really believe in coming out herself. Specifically, she said: “I just don’t really believe in it. I just think, why can’t we just exist? I’ve been doing this for a long time and I just haven’t talked about it. Yikes. But I saw the article and thought, ‘Oh! I think I came out today’”. She continued: “It’s exciting for me because I think people didn’t know, so it’s cool that they know. But ooh, I’m nervous talking about it.”
“Film Song of the Year” for Billie Eilish and Finneas
Billie Eilish was invited to the Variety Hitmaker of the Year event with her brother Finneas. Together they received an award at the awards ceremony for their song “What Was I Made For”. The track won the award as “Best film song of the year” for his work in Great Gerwig’s comedy “Barbie”. They were presented with the award by Bernie Taupin, Elton John’s songwriter, who said in his eulogy: “Many great people can write many great songs with a lot of outside help. But not many find their one true songwriting partner who can cut through the noise and hit straight to the heart with a simple idea, a melody and a lyric that can uplift the world and touch us – in a way that only one can really great song and songwriter can. Just as I have been blessed with my songwriting partner of the last 56 years and others I can think of: these two, Billie and Finneas, have each other and the gift of songwriting, although songwriting teams are a dying breed. And luckily these two revived her. There is no tinkering from outside, from a single soul other than them, what they have done, equipped with an idea, a pen and paper and a piano. What they have already achieved in their young lives is simply amazing.”
