Billie Eilish: Same Interview, One Year Apart | Vanity Fair

On October 18th, 2017, after a busy day of promotional interviews in New York City, Billie Eilish met with Vanity Fair to discuss the 15-year-old’s breakthrough success. On October 18th, 2018, after a long day of pre-tour rehearsals, Billie spoke with VF again to answer the exact same questions and look back at a time capsule of her answers from last year. Her Instagram follower count grew from 257K to 6.3 million. She went from playing crowds of 500 fans to playing arenas for more than 40,000. See how Billie’s life changed over the last year.

Billie Eilish: Same Interview, One Year Apart | Vanity Fair

[@kpopstuff8303]

*what shocks me most is this is only 1 year difference*

[@BieberFanForever7]

I know this video isn't about Kpop but your username made me want to make an observation about it. Imagine how sad Kpop idols are, I can't even imagine. At least western artists like billie can express themselves and be raw. She is blatantly sad and she swears and she uses her music to express herself. Idols can't do any of that and have pressure and way more tours and performances. Its crazy.. (Im an army too btw)

[@laerethe8536]

[@yo_oustinasedarous]

@@BieberFanForever7 k pop idols can express themselves too, haven't you listened to Agust D or RM's mixtape?

[@BieberFanForever7]

@@yo_oustinasedarous Yah I have I mean I think most Kpop fans know that BTS are an exception in Kpop with how they express themselves but even they have to limit themselves and only truly say how they feel in their music. I was talking about the majority of Kpop with them being given songs by their companies that mean nothing to them and constantly not being allowed to express themselves.

In 2018 she just looks so sad. Like a whole different person. She sounded like she was on the verge of tears every time she spoke, every time she blinked.

And she's a whole other person to the bubbly 15 yr old she was a year ago.. This made me cry. Alot.. Edit: I legit wrote this at 2 in the morning and I wake up with over 500 likes, Jesus Christ!

People are constantly either worshiping her or saying vile, repulsive things about her. I couldn't imagine how much that fucks with someone's emotions before they're even emotionally mature enough to know how to handle it. When I first watched this I got that edgy "im 16 and my life is the hardest" vibe, but if I was in her position at that age I wouldn't be in a very good state of mind either. Hopefully the manipulative, greedy hollywood influences in her life don't absolutely suck the life out of her by the time she's 18.

I feel like this is really accurate

I don't know if it's the way Vanity Fair made the video, but I actually sense more sadness in the second interview. I feel like she is probably living a very adult life, and even though it may seem that she can handle it, I am not sure that any 16 year old is able to make the choice to live life that way. But she is still a great singer.

[@cherfancherfan6682]

Yes you're right

[@vuyolwethu_m26]

I'm 21 and not in the public eye, and I'm not coping with adult life, so she must be feeling a ton of pressure. I really hope she takes time off.

[@lili2858]

i remember the day this came out and i just cried. it hurts so much to see her so miserable because she’s an amazing person who deserves all the love. i’m so beyond happy she’s happy now

[@Kal_El1994]

My favourite artist currently on the planet. There’s such a level of sincerity, honesty, openness & rawness to her. Back then. And now. Love her.

i get so sad watching this knowing how much she was hurting filming this and during that year. she stayed to make us happy and I’m so glad she did. she was patient and waited for things to get better. glad ur still here bil:) shes saved so many lives, idk what i would do without her.

Molly Mckevitt she doesn’t exactly look unhappy, it’s more like drained and tired

[@Imokayluv]

I think too many Americans want to stay in denial about the music industry. It should be obvious by now how poisonous it is and this vid is just another eye opener. we can see with our very eyes how much being in the industry has changed her. There is too much of a difference for a young girl who has just aged one year, even the look in her eyes is just chilling. And her "all artists are sad" comment? That really stands out to me

i came across this video on facebook in 2018 and it made me a fan of hers. i didn't even know who she was and what she does. because of her, i learned to appreciate the darkness of life and realize that sadness don't always require a reason. sometimes, you just need to allow yourself to feel what you're feeling.
