Billie Eilish slams fans when she shouts out Swift in interview
Billie Eilish has vented her frustrations towards fans of Taylor Swift after they accused her of singling her out for criticism.
Bad Guy singer Billie lashed out at the music industry last week in a rant about sustainability, taking aim at artists who release records in a variety of formats for collectors.
Whilst the 22-year-old stopped short of name-dropping Taylor directly, she hit out at the «biggest stars in the world» who are «wasteful».
Taylor released her most recent album Midnights in 2022, before going on to sell vinyl and CD copies of it in three additional colors, as well as unveiling an extended «3am» edition.
Billie, who is passionate about reducing carbon emissions and preventing climate change, told Billboard last week:
«Some of the biggest artists in the world are making 40 different vinyl packages that have a different, unique thing just to get you to keep buying more. It’s so wasteful.»
She continued: «It is right in front of our faces and people are just getting away with it left and right,
and I find it really frustrating as somebody who really goes out of my way to be sustainable and do the best that I can and try to involve everybody in my team in being sustainable.
It’s so wasteful, and it’s irritating to me that we’re still at a point where you care that much about your numbers, and you care that much about making money — and it’s all your favorite artists doing that.»
It prompted 34-year-old Taylor’s fans to complain that it was unfair of her contemporary to aim her vitriol at her, with some labelling Billie a «hypocrite» having released her own material in a variety of colors in the past.
Now, Billie has taken to her Instagram story to address those complaints.
