Instead of feeling threatened, Billie Eilish applauds rising artists and her peers while discussing her struggles with living in the public eye following her meteoric rise to fame.

AceShowbiz - Billie Eilish is rewriting the rules of success in the music industry. At just 22, she's already achieved global stardom, but she's more interested in celebrating her peers than feeling threatened by them. In a candid conversation with The Los Angeles Times, Eilish shares her insights on fame, mental health, and her unwavering support for other talented women in music.

the chart-topping singer expressed her support for her fellow rising artists such as Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan. Rather than feeling threatened by their successes, Eilish is genuinely thrilled.

"Are you kidding me? I'm so happy for these b****hes. It's a crazy world when you get to the level they're experiencing right now, and they're doing great. Fans are drawn to them because they're f***ing awesome," she said.

Despite her young age, Eilish is well-aware of the unique challenges fame brings. Reflecting on her own journey, she described an incident where a TSA agent took her photos, referring to it as a "power imbalance." Her brother, Finneas, added, “You can't say, 'Don't take a photo of me' to TSA. They'd be like, 'Come into this room.' They're in charge."

The stark reality hit Eilish hard, "Every room is gonna be, 'It's Billie Eilish!' and that's gonna make me eventually kill myself." These experiences led her to believe that boundaries between artists and fans have "been lost." Finneas drew parallels with The Beatles era, pointing out that the difference now is that "everybody has a camera."

Eilish is determined to maintain privacy in her personal life moving forward. She revealed in Vogue's November cover story her regret over discussing her sexuality and dating life publicly. "I wish no one knew anything about my sexuality or anything about my dating life. Ever, ever, ever," she told the publication. "And I hope that they never will again."

Interestingly, Eilish openly discussed a song she almost regretted releasing, "Birds of a Feather." Initially thinking it might be "the worst song" she had created due to its poppiness, the track eventually amassed over 1.1 billion streams on Spotify and dominated Billboard's pop radio chart. "I thought it was too poppy and that everyone was gonna hate it," Eilish admitted.

Understanding fame's complexities and feeling somewhat "frozen in time," Billie Eilish still finds herself acting youthful at times. "I'm finding I'm having kind of a hard, weird time being in my 20s," she said.

However, her maturity shines through in her support for other artists. Charli XCX highlighted Eilish's authenticity and honesty in songwriting, suggesting these traits are what make her so relatable and respected among her peers and fans.

In an era where social media scrutiny is relentless, Eilish's decision to champion her peers while protecting her own mental and emotional well-being is a noteworthy and admirable stance.
