In a recent podcast appearance, Billie Eilish opened up about a difficult dating experience she had last year. The 22-year-old singer, who recently came out as queer, shared that she was ghosted by someone she had been seeing, causing her to worry that something terrible had happened to them.
During an interview on the BBC podcast Miss Me?, Eilish revealed that she had experienced a "crazy ghosting" last year. For those who may not know, ghosting is when someone suddenly stops all communication without explanation, and it's a common phenomenon in Gen Z culture. It seems that even Grammy winners like Eilish are not immune to this hurtful behavior.
Speaking with Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver on the podcast, Eilish shared, "I've been ghosted for sure." She also added that it was "literally unbelievable" and to this day, the person never texted her again. She even joked, "I was like, did you die? Did you literally die?"
Eilish went on to explain that she had made plans with this person and never heard from them again after they never showed up. She said, "It was somebody that I'd also known for years and had a plan, the day of, on the phone, making a plan, this is my address, be there at 3pm – never heard from them again. Ever. I couldn't believe it."
Eventually, Eilish found out that the person who ghosted her was not only alive and well but in a relationship with someone else. It was a hurtful realization for the singer, who first rose to fame at just 14 years old.
Aside from her dating experiences, Eilish also opened up about how fame has affected her friendships. She shared that she lost all her friends when she became famous and could no longer relate to anyone. She said, "I suddenly was famous and I couldn't relate to anybody. It was tough. It was really hard."
However, Eilish was able to maintain a connection with her best friend, Zoe, but her only other friends were people who worked for her. She shared that on her 20th birthday, she looked around the room and realized that everyone there was someone she employed and much older than her.
The singer also shared a heartbreaking story about an employee who she considered a close friend suddenly quitting and breaking off contact with her. It made her realize that for some people, working for her was just a job and if they left, they would never see her again.
Despite the difficulties she has faced with friendships, Eilish has recently made an effort to reconnect with old friends and create new ones. She happily shared that she now has a "crew" and even cried while dancing with them at a party. She said, "I have friends and I just love you guys so much, and it's been so long since I've had friends. I cried... and it's literally because I actually have friendship now again."
It's a refreshing change for Eilish, who has been focusing on her music career with her brother and musical partner, Finneas O'Connell. The duo is the primary creative force behind all of Eilish's songs and even won an Oscar for the song "What Was I Made For?" from the movie Barbie.
In conclusion, Eilish's interview on the podcast Miss Me? gave us a deeper insight into her personal life and the struggles she has faced with dating and friendships in the spotlight. Despite the challenges, she has found a newfound sense of closeness with her inner circle and is grateful for the genuine friendships she has made.
