Billie Eilish’s Candid Revelation: Navigating Attraction, Identity, and the Media Spotlight – Artist Weekly
Billie Eilish, in an interview with Variety, inadvertently disclosed her attraction to women, clarifying at a recent event that she hadn’t initially planned to come out publicly. The singer expressed surprise that people were unaware, stating she had avoided discussing it despite having been in the public eye for a long time. The November cover story, part of the Variety Power of Women series, delves into Eilish’s connections with women, identifying herself as a “girls girl” who, despite loving and being physically attracted to them, feels intimidated by their beauty and presence.
The singer addressed speculations about her sexuality, emphasizing her reluctance to adopt labels and dismissing accusations of “queerbaiting.” Eilish revealed that she realized she had unintentionally come out only after the article’s release, finding the public acknowledgment exciting yet nerve-wracking. Despite the anxiety, she affirmed her support for women.
At the Hitmakers event, Eilish received the Film Song of the Year award for “What Was I Made For,” featured in the Barbie movie, exploring themes of femininity and womanhood. Playfully admitting to still finding women intimidating, she humorously expressed being scared of them but appreciating their beauty.
