Off the streaming and viral success of What Was I Made For?, from the Barbie soundtrack, the pop singer landed several Grammy Awards nominations for the 2024 show. The 21-year-old has forged an impressive career in being authentic to herself, being open about her experience with the pressures of body standards and female expectations. Her music, from her haunting debut to 2021\u2019s Happier Than Ever, speaks for itself. Eilish is currently between albums and is reportedly putting the finishing touches on her third studio record. Eilish reveals why she\u2019s so protective of Olivia Rodrigo In an interview with LA Times, Billie Eilish opened up about her kinship with another pop juggernaut, Olivia Rodrigo. \u201cI do feel a protectiveness over Olivia,\u201d she said. She then noted how her song Goldwing, from Happier Than Ever, was loosely based on Rodrigo. \u201cThat\u2019s kind of about her. I\u2019ve never said that to anyone. It\u2019s not only about her,\u201d she said. \u201cI was just thinking about her when I was writing it. She was coming up, and she was younger than me, and nobody had ever been younger than me.\u201d Eilish went on to compare Rodrigo to \u201cthis little dainty child.\u201d \u201cI felt so nervous. I was worried about her. She came up in that acting world, and people are so weird. I don\u2019t know \u2014 I just felt very protective over her.\u201d At the end of the interview, Eilish lamented the struggle young women face in the entertainment industry versus their male counterparts. \u201cI just see myself in all these young girls. And it\u2019s the girls, man. Boys can handle themselves,\u201d she said. \u201cThey\u2019re dudes \u2014 they don\u2019t have to deal with it like we do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
