“You know what? I am, dude,” says Eilish, née Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell. “It’s f---ing crazy right now. Like, everything around me is just a little bit perfect, y’know? It’s kind of perfect. I’ve never really used that word to describe anything about my career and I have been lately, which is a huge, huge blessing to me. So, yeah. I’m pretty happy.

“It’s really, really difficult, man. But that sh-- that’s difficult is the only way that you can have the ‘fifth element,’ if that makes sense. You can’t go out in front of 40,000 people...
