Katy Perry turned down Billie Eilish collab over \u201cboring\u201d music INSTAGRAM: katyperry\/Wikimedia: Lars CrommelinckKaty Perry has revealed that she turned down a collaboration with Billie Eilish, because she thought her music was \u201cboring.\u201d She regrets it now. The \u2018Dark Horse\u2019 singer admitted that one of her biggest career mistakes was declining to work with the \u2018Bad Guy\u2019 hitmaker. In 2016, Katy was told by one of her friends to check Billie out, but she was less than impressed with the songstress at the time. Speaking at 102.7 Kiis FM event, which was hosted in Los Angeles, she opened up about the massive fail. Katy told the audience that her friend\u2019s email read: \u201cHey, check out this new artist. I\u2019d really like us to work with her because she was working with me for Unsub [Records].\u201d \u201cIt was a song called Ocean Eyes, and it was just a blonde girl, and I was like, \u2018Meh, boring,’\u201d she said. \u201cBig mistake, huge mistake,\u201d she added, before joking: \u201cDon\u2019t let this hit the internet.\u201d \u2018Ocean Eyes,\u2019 which was written and produced by Billie\u2019s older brother, Finneas O\u2019Connell in 2016, went on to become her breakout hit after it was released when she was just 13. The 21-year-old has since become one of the biggest names in the industry, winning seven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Oscar for Best Original Song. Some fans said that they were happy Katy turned down the collab, because it gave Billie the chance to develop her music on her own. \u201cKaty would\u2019ve made Billie a little too pop so she was better off lol,\u201d one wrote. \u201cI\u2019m glad that collab didn\u2019t happen because it allowed Billie to build her own identity and sound as an artist,\u201d another one added. There are no hard feelings between the two singer-songwriters, and they have since shared several wholesome social media exchanges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
