The 22-year-old singer shared her experience on the BBC podcast Miss Me?, describing the incident as “crazy” and “insane.”
Ghosting, the act of abruptly cutting off all communication with someone, left Eilish bewildered. She recounted a specific incident from last December, where someone she had known for years made plans with her but never showed up or contacted her again. Eilish expressed her disbelief, wondering if the person had passed away or if something else had happened.
The singer also discussed the challenges she faced in maintaining friendships after rising to fame at just 14 years old with her debut single “Ocean Eyes.” Eilish admitted that fame made it difficult for her to relate to others, leading to the loss of many friendships.
Despite the difficulties, Eilish highlighted the importance of her best friend Zoe, who remained by her side. She also mentioned rekindling old friendships and making new ones, which she described as “the greatest thing” that has happened to her.
Reflecting on Lily Allen’s song “Smile,” Eilish shared how the lyrics resonated with her, especially the part about finding light at the end of the tunnel with the help of friends. She expressed gratitude for having friends again and how it has positively impacted her life.
Billie Eilish’s openness about her personal struggles with relationships and fame sheds light on the challenges faced by young celebrities and highlights the importance of genuine connections and friendships in navigating the complexities of life in the spotlight.
