Billie Eilish Loses 100,000 Followers in Just ONE Hour! What Happened?
Billie Eilish became famous at just 13 years old when her song “Ocean Eyes” went viral on SoundCloud in 2015. Since then, she has become a major music star, with seven top 10 hits, nine Grammy Awards, and two American Music Awards.
Eilish often works with her brother, Finneas O’Connell, and together they have written songs for big movies like No Time to Die (a James Bond film) and Barbie.
Despite her success, Billie Eilish has faced criticism from fans. One of the most notable moments was when she lost a large number of followers on social media.
Billie Eilish has been in the public eye for many years. Fans have watched her grow up and change, which has led to a lot of attention and comments about her style and image. She has tried out different looks over the years, like changing her hair color from green to red.
In 2021, before the release of her album Happier Than Ever, Billie surprised her fans with a new look for the cover of British Vogue. She wore a corset and had blonde hair, a big change from her usual style. Some fans loved the new look, but others were upset by it.
One fan commented, “I used to love Billie until she changed.” Another fan wrote, “Bring back the green hair!” Some even said, “Not a role model anymore.”
Billie responded to the criticism on Instagram, saying she had been criticized for years for dressing boyish, and now, when she felt comfortable being more feminine, people were calling her a “sellout.” She said, “I can be both,” explaining that she could be herself no matter what others thought.
In an interview, Billie said people often hold onto past memories of her and that it can feel “dehumanizing” when fans get upset about her changes.
This wasn’t the only time Billie stood up to her critics. In 2020, she took part in a social media trend called “post a picture.” When fans asked her to share a drawing she was proud of, she posted a sketch of breasts and nude women. She joked, “These probably lol I love b**bs.”
After she posted the picture, she lost around 100,000 followers, dropping from 73 million to 72.9 million. Billie responded to the loss by saying, “LMFAOOO y’all babies smh,” showing she wasn’t bothered by the reaction.
