The Grammy-winning artist has opened up about the highs of the past 12 months, offering fans a glimpse into her evolving life and career.

At just 23 years old, Billie Eilish’s journey continues to amaze.

This year saw the release of her third studio album, followed by an impressive global tour that left fans in awe. Her career has truly soared to new heights.

In May, she released Hit Me Hard and Soft, which quickly became a sensation.

The album earned the title of the second most-streamed record on Spotify for 2024, only trailing behind Taylor Swift’s Tortured Poet’s Department.

Continuing her annual tradition, Billie sat down with Vanity Fair for the eighth time to reflect on her ongoing success and share how her personal life has flourished alongside her career. She revealed that this year has been fulfilling in many unexpected ways.

The evolution in Eilish’s hair color and style is not the only change since her first Vanity Fair interview in 2017. She’s grown immensely, both personally and professionally, over the years.

Billie expressed immense pride in her accomplishments this year, especially those she shared with her brother and collaborator, Finneas. Together, they have achieved incredible milestones.

“I have the most monthly listeners on Spotify in the entire world,” she said excitedly. “I released my album, went on tour again, I made so many new friends, adopted another dog – it’s been a friendship-filled year.”

Looking back at footage from last year, Billie reflected on her aspirations for the future. Many of her goals centered around adventurous activities that carry a hint of danger.

“I want to adventure so bad,” she added, before sharing: “I definitely want some more piercings, I want some more tattoos, another dog, be hanging out with your family, be making new friends, be having new friends, be having good sex.”

The ‘Ocean Eyes’ singer then revealed that she had succeeded in fulfilling many of her personal pledges for 2023. She joked that the “good sex” goal was already ticked off her list.

She shared her thoughts on this: “I’ve done nothing but make friends all year and gotten so close with people that I wasn’t with before, became friends with people I used to be friends with again, and just like…it’s just been a year filled with friendship. Which honestly, even though I was saying a lot of things that I want to do, that was the thing that I wanted to do, and I really did it, and it was awesome.”

“And yes, I’ve had a lot of good sex. So, you’re welcome, Billie!”

Her sexuality has also been a popular subject of discussion. Songs like ‘Lunch’ and her appearance on Charli XCX’s remix of ‘Guess’ sparked plenty of debates online, much to Billie’s frustration.

At the time, she addressed the speculation directly, stating: “That song [Lunch] was actually part of what helped me become who I am, to be real. I wrote some of it before even doing anything with a girl, and then wrote the rest after.”

Billie has spoken out about how frustrating it is when the media fixates on her personal preferences. She also shared the moment she realized she was attracted to girls, adding: “I’ve been in love with girls for my whole life, but I just didn’t understand until, last year, I realised I wanted my face in a vagina.”

In 2023, Billie took to Instagram to clarify that she is attracted to both boys and girls. She wrapped up the post with a message to her followers: “Leave me alone about it please, literally who cares.”

Looking back on the situation, she later told Rolling Stone that she may have reacted emotionally but felt it was necessary to reclaim control of her narrative.

“It takes a while to find yourself, and I think it’s really unfair, the way that the internet bullies you into talking about who you are and what you are.”
