Billie Eilish opens up about her complicated relationship with social media

Billie Eilish is not particularly proud of her extensive usage of social media.

Given that she had previously been candid about having conflicting sentiments about her personal life on social media, the Grammy and Oscar-winning singer-songwriter was recently questioned about her current relationship with social media in an interview with Complex.

“Yeah, I’m off that shit,” she said of X (formerly Twitter), adding that she also “went off of Instagram and TikTok a couple of months ago, which was awesome.”

However, the Birds of a Feather singer has found it challenging to stay off social media while on her globe tour in support of her most recent album, Hit Me Hard and Soft.

“I went on tour, and the issue is, I really love to interact with the fans when I’m on tour,” Eilish explained. 

“I love seeing all the videos and all the angles. I love seeing how people are feeling and thinking about the show. If I think something looks different, I want to change it. So I go on the internet to see the videos that I want to see, but then I get sucked in. Then I get all f**ked up, and I’m stuck.”

She added, “So I’ve been back on it, but I am trying to get off. It’s my cigarettes. It’s really a problem.”

The Bad Guy crooner, however, continues to look for the good in social media, such as holding Instagram Q&A sessions with her followers.

“Some of it’s awesome and I love it and I cherish it,” she admitted. “But again, people make that kind of thing really hard. It’s sad to me. Some people ruin it for the rest of them.”
