Billie Eilish isn’t just selling out arenas—she’s turning them into emotional rollercoasters, and she’s riding shotgun with the fans. Fresh off being crowned Apple Music’s Artist of the Year, Eilish spilled her guts about the chills she got when fans unleashed their lungs for her track “The Greatest” on her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour.
In an Apple Music interview, Billie reflected on the moment she pulled out her in-ear monitor mid-show and let the crowd hit her with their voices like a tidal wave. “They were singing every song, but something about ‘The Greatest’ hit different,” she explained, adding that the song holds a special place in her creative heart. It’s a sentimental heavyweight that Eilish and her brother/producer-in-crime Finneas crafted to perfection, and fans know every. single. word.
The tear-jerking didn’t stop there. Billie shared that “The Greatest” makes her downright emotional—even post-performance. “I love that song so much… I performed it the other day and literally cried after,” she confessed during another sit-down with BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders. Let’s be honest, Eilish fans are probably crying right along with her.
Debuting the song live on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert back in June 2024, the track quickly became a crowd-favorite, sparking debates among fans about its meaning: is it about fame? Romance? Or maybe it’s just Billie being Billie—reflective, raw, and brutally honest.
As she rides the success wave of her Hit Me Hard and Soft album, Billie’s not just stopping at tear-soaked singalongs. With seven Grammy nominations lined up for 2025, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year nods, she’s proving—yet again—that she’s a once-in-a-generation force. Oh, and if you haven’t heard her epic collaborations with Charli XCX or the dance-pop edit of “L’Amour De Ma Vie”, stop reading and get on it.
For now, you can catch Billie’s Artist of the Year performance on Apple Music, complete with live renditions of “The Greatest” and more. Don’t forget your tissues—sounds like Billie’s planning to keep those feels coming.
