"Her Response Is Everything": Here's Why Millions Of People Are Talking About Billie Eilish's Response To Being Hit In The Face With A Bracelet
Billie Eilish is often praised for her openness and authentically being herself.
So, it's no surprise she treats her fans like good friends, and is often seen closely interacting with them.
However, one fan's actions at Billie's recent performance in Glendale, Arizona, are now opening a viral conversation on TikTok. Let's get into what happened if you missed it.
As Billie was seated on stage, singing the beginning lyrics to "What Was I Made For?", a bracelet flew through the air, hitting her smack dab in the face.
After her immediate reaction of being startled from unexpectedly being hit in the face, she calmly just kept singing.
It's hard to say if the bracelet hurt her because she remained completely focused on the song and totally composed.
And, in the most unbothered way, she picked up the bracelet and flung it back into the crowd.
It was the most casual but graceful toss I've ever seen.
Anyway, several people who were at the concert recorded the moment and it's been circulating the app like wildfire. A single search of "Billie Eilish bracelet" will populate over 20 million collective views with very angry commenters.
People are saying it was ironic for this to happen during this particular song that was featured in Barbie.
Billie has said the song is about wanting the world to change and things to change around her.
And despite many people acknowledging that this was probably an unfortunate accident from an excited fan...
It has also opened up conversations about concert etiquette.
People throwing random trinkets at musicians during their performances isn't uncommon. In fact, last year, Today compiled this list of celebs who have been hit by flying objects chucked in the air by fans.
This moment is being viewed as the perfect opportunity to address why throwing items at public figures is not okay.
Because throwing objects at anyone, especially at someone you admire, is JUST WRONG.
Obviously people figured Billie assumed it was an excited fan who felt bad after the fact, but it doesn't excuse the throwing either way.
So, what are your thoughts on this — and on concert etiquette in general? What types of behaviors have you seen that are inappropriate and need to stop? Let us know in the comments!
