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?"
That Eilish has caught such fire, and sent the music industry spinning, is at once obvious and boggling. Her music has a classic pop streak filtered through commiserant imagery and a generation's scorn at genre divides. If early Britney Spears went goth...

Excerpt:
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:
The 17-year-old, who is the first artist born in the 2000s to land a No. 1 album, looked in relaxed spirits as she flew into Sydney Airport on Thursday.
She dressed casually in a baggy grey hoodie and matching trackpants while signing autographs for fans at the arrivals terminal.
Billie went makeup free for the flight, and accessorised with several chunky rings and a pair of bright red sneakers.

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. And Eilish’s edgy, anti-pop aesthetic is hard to miss: her signature blue-gray hair, eye-popping streetwear, and mounds of silver necklaces are intimidatingly cool—and delightfully weird.
