Billie Eilish has revealed the exact moment she realised she was about to go on stage with Justin Bieber at Coachella, admitting the experience was so intense she can barely watch the videos.
A Dream Come True
Fresh from her iconic surprise appearance during Justin Bieber's Coachella weekend two set, Billie stopped by Capital HQ for a special chat to celebrate her new film, Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour.
In an interview with Capital Breakfast's Jordan North for 'A Very British Day Out', Billie opened up about the viral moment and revealed she only found out she was joining Justin on stage one song before it happened.
The Almost-Spoiled Surprise
"Hailey [Bieber] said, like, one song before that she was gonna push me on stage for 'One Less Lonely Girl'," Billie revealed. "I just can't even talk about it. So, my legs gave out is what happened."
"Also, nobody walked me on! They were just like 'alright go on your own.'"
Billie confirmed she had a sneaking suspicion they were plotting because she'd "heard something" earlier that day. "And then f---ing Hailey and Justin's friend was standing next to me in the pit and he may have spoiled it a little," she said. "He goes, 'so are you gonna go up?' And I was like, 'what the hell are you talking about?,' and he said, 'you know, for 'One Less Lonely Girl?''"
"And I had to just decide that it was a life changing dream that me and everyone wanted to live and I can't actually believe that I lived it. I can't even think about it. I can't even talk about it. I can't even look at the videos, it's too intense for me."
Billie's Journey from Belieber to Collaborator
For those unfamiliar with the lore, Billie has been a huge Belieber since childhood, with posters of Justin covering her walls. Over the years, she has shared photos and videos proving her credentials.
In 2014, Billie sent Justin a DM on Instagram, and he finally responded in 2019 after she shot to fame. She met him for the first time at Coachella that same year while watching Ariana Grande's set, a moment that went viral due to her hilarious reaction.
Since then, they have developed a friendship, and Justin even jumped on a remix of 'Bad Guy'. Now, she has reached the highest level of Belieberism by becoming the 'One Less Lonely Girl'.
