Excerpt:

She's the American pop rock sensation who is currently on an Australian tour.

And on Saturday, Billie Eilish cut an edgy figure in an oversize ripped sweater and red reflective sunglasses as she jetted out of Adelaide.

The 17-year-old, who is scheduled to perform at the Groovin the Moo Festival in New South Wales' Maitland on Saturday, happily greeted fans at the airport.

Billie added black ripped jeans, chunky sneakers and a layering of silver chunky necklaces to the look.

Her brunette locks were tied into an effortless topknot, drawing attention to her silver crucifix earrings.

Billie Eilish, 17, pop superstar: 'I'm just trying to deal with everything' - Sydney Morning Herald

Excerpt:

At 17, she's the first person born after 2000 to have a #1 album. Still a minor, she's already a pop icon, both musically and aesthetically, representing the cultural reins-handing from millennials to Generation Z.

"I can't make music thinking about that," says Eilish, from an Adelaide hotel room. "I don't give a f--- about the numbers... It's like, that's sick. But I'm not going to count on all that to make me feel like I'm the artist I want to be, you know what I'm saying?"

While performing at Coachella, earlier this month, the singer-songwriter Billie Eilish forgot the words to her song “All Good Girls Go to Hell.” Eilish, who is only seventeen, didn’t seem especially bothered by the lapse. She exuded a cool girl’s sprezzatura, style as nonchalance. Mumbling a little, Eilish wheeled around the stage, like a spinning top about to give out, and then hiked up her shorts, which, baggy and long, were messing with her torque. “Fuck,” she said, turning her back and her mood-ring-gray hair to the audience, “What the fuck are the words, though?” The mistake was so charming that it did not seem like a mistake at all. The audience yelped and the Internet squealed. “I love this,” one YouTube commenter said, below a clip of the performance. “She made it sound like it...

Excerpt:

Unless you live under a rock—I mean, it’d have to be a giant boulder—the name Billie Eilish probably rings a bell. She’s the enigmatic 17-year-old performer who is currently taking the pop world by storm. Currently, there isn’t a talk show, playlist, or music festival that she hasn’t been a part of.
