Billie Eilish, the Grammy- and Oscar-winning singer-songwriter, has recently opened up about her sexuality and her experiences with body shaming in a series of interviews. Eilish, who has been in the public eye since her early fame at 13, has been candid about her physical attraction to women, a topic that has sparked speculation and accusations of 'queerbaiting' in the past.
In her conversation with Variety, Eilish discussed her deep connections with women in her life and her physical attraction to them. However, she has not chosen specific terminology to publicly describe her sexuality or her gender. She also expressed her discomfort with being sexualized and her struggle with her looks and identity, stating that she has never felt desirable or feminine.
Eilish's exploration of her own femininity has been reflected in her recent work, including her song 'What Was I Made For?' from the Barbie soundtrack. This song, along with her acting debut in Prime Video's horror satire series 'Swarm', has generated Oscar buzz and marked a new phase in her career.
Beyond her music and acting projects, Eilish is also known for her veganism and her support for her mother's charity, Support + Feed, which aims to address climate change and food equity. Despite her fame, Eilish has expressed frustration with the excessive attention to her personal life and has criticized the double standards for men and women in society, particularly in relation to body image and fashion.
Eilish's openness about her experiences and her sexuality has been met with both support and criticism. However, her willingness to discuss these topics publicly contributes to ongoing conversations about sexuality, gender, and body image in the music industry and society at large.
