Billie Eilish defended after sharing unseen message to Justin Bieber following Coachella performance
Billie Eilish has invited fans into her once-raging Justin Bieber obsession just days after she took to the Coachella stage during the music icon’s headline gig.
Last Saturday (18 April), Bieber, 32, surprised fans by bringing ‘One Last Lonely Girl’ out of retirement during his second weekend at the Californian festival.
While it was expected that his wife, Hailey Bieber, 29, would repeat their wedding performance and make it up on the stage, the Rhode cosmetics founder encouraged Billie Eilish, 24, up from the VIP pit instead.
The viral moment saw the ‘What Was I Made For’ singer laughing and covering her face as she eventually made her way to JB.

Eilish was visibly emotional, and her mum, actress Maggie Baird, later thanked the former teen idol for providing her daughter with one of the ‘most touching moments ever’.
On Thursday (23 April), the ‘Birds of a Feather’ hitmaker shared an intimate look into her past, and how Bieber had truly helped shape her childhood.
In the first image shared with her 125 million Instagram fans, a young Eilish could be seen posing in what appeared to be her bedroom, littered with various JB posters.
A second appeared to be a written tribute to the ‘Baby’ singer on his 20th birthday in 2014.
“I’m a Bieber girl in a Bieber world. It’s Biebertastic, let’s Bieberblastit,” the whiteboard read. “Bieber flips his hair, wears purple everywhere, it’s Bieber nation. Thank God for his creation. Come on Bieber, spread the fever.”
Other images saw the young singer wearing and holding what appeared to be merchandise, alongside dancing and singing to the star’s hits.
Eilish also screenshotted a heartfelt message she wrote in her Notes app on 28 February, 2014.
“Justin Drew Bieber… Where do I even start… 20 years ago today, the best singer and person in the world was born,” she wrote.
“I don’t know how someone as perfect as you is possible to be alive. You’re an amazing singer, amazing dancer, amazing drummer, Ur soooooooo SEXY!!”
The 10-time Grammy winner went on to praise the father-of-one for how ‘hilarious’ and ‘sweet’ he was to his fans, remarking that ‘no words’ could explain how much she adored him.
She added: “If only you knew I existed… I have always been a Belieber and I always will be!!! I will be here for you through think and thin. I love you to infinity and beyond!!!”
Eilish’s photo carousel was captioned ‘don’t talk to me’, alluding to how she felt days after being brought up on the Coachella stage.
Fans have been quick to defend the one-time fangirl, with an Instagram user writing: “This made me feel slightly less insecure about the outrageous posts I was making on my Billie fan account at 16 so thank you baddie.”
“I love seeing the fangirl side of you, you really do get it,” commented someone else.
A third remarked: “Billie trust me I understand.”
Another fan remarked: “You being absolutely f***ing obsessed with Justin will never not be funny, love you.”
A fifth added: “Crazy how you’re just as famous as him now.”
Eilish has long been a fan of JB, with a clip of her - reportedly aged 12 - talking about her 'love' for him recently resurfacing.
“So many Justin Bieber things. I was like crying so hard because I’ve got worried that when I get a boyfriend, I won’t want to be with him because I actually love Justin Bieber more. And I can’t handle that,” she said.
The pair met for the first time during Ariana Grande's performance at Coachella 2019 and a video of the heartwarming moment quickly went viral. From there, they collaborated on a remix of Eilish's iconic hit 'bad guy' and went on to build a friendship.
Is Justin Bieber going on tour?
Since Coachella concluded, fans have been begging for Bieber to drop tour dates - and many believe he will following comments made at the end of his set.
At the end of the Canadian’s set - which followed the first weekend’s ‘YouTube karaoke’ session - fans noticed that he said: “See y’all soon!”
Naturally, the internet has exploded, with Justin Bieber tour buzz sending social media users into a frenzy.
The ‘Yukon’ favourite has not toured properly since 2023 due to his health.
