Billie Eilish, singer of hits such as "Happier than ever," invited a group of activists to participate in her new cover story for Vogue, focusing on her efforts to combat climate change.
During the interview, Billie said she missed the 13-year-old she was before she rose to fame, "when fewer eyes were on me." This statement comes in the wake of activist Toni Tsui asking the singer "how she deals with the weight of millions of people's expectations." "It's wild," Eilish replied. "In my head, nobody knows who I am. Nobody knows what I look like." "I was 13 when I put stuff out for the first time," she continued. "I look back at who I was, when fewer eyes were on me. I grieve that. I strive to be that kid again."
Winner of seven Grammy Awards
In previous interviews for Vogue magazine, the superstar stated that her life "feels the same" as it did before she became famous, except that she doesn't have "any friends." "I have to remind myself what my life actually is to the outside world, because I just forget sometimes. My life really, honestly feels the same as it did when I was a child," she said.
Billie Eilish rose to fame at the age of 14 with "Ocean eyes", a song she wrote and produced with her brother Finneas O'Connel, which she recorded when she was 13 years old. Now 21, Eilish has released two hit albums, broken several streaming records and won seven Grammy Awards.
