The 22-year-old shot to fame with her song โOcean Eyes,โ which wentย viralย on SoundCloud in 2015.
Sheโs now a music sensation, with seven top 10 hits and multiple accolades, including nineย Grammyย Awards, and two American Music Awards, among others.
Eilish, with co-collaborator brother Finneas OโConnell, has also produced songs for some of the biggest recentย films, including theย James Bondย movieย No Time to Dieย andย Barbie.
But like manyย celebrities, Eilish has received a backlash from fans โ once it resulted in her losing a huge social media following.
Eilish has been in the limelight since a young age, and while her fame and success continue to rise, it has often come with scrutiny.
Over the years, the singerโs fans have seen the star evolve โ sheโs experimented with her style and looks, from green to red hair.
In 2021, around the time of her upcoming album โHappier Than Ever,โ Eilishย debuted a new styleย on the cover of British Vogue.
She was pictured with blonde bombshell hair and a corset, a look some fans adored. However, others criticized her.
One said: โI used to love Billie until she changed.โ
Another added: โBring back the green hair!โ
โNot a role model anymore,โ a third person commented.
At the time, Eilish took to Instagram and responded to the haters.
The singer said (perย CBS): โI spent the first 5 years of my career getting absolutely obliterated by you fools for being boyish and dressing how I did and constantly being told Iโd be hotter if I acted like a woman.
โAnd now when I feel comfortable enough to wear anything remotely feminine or fitting, I changed and am a sellout.โ
She added: โI can be both.โ
In an interview withย Elle, Eilish referenced the Vogue photoshoot backlash and stated: โPeople hold on to these memories and have an attachment. But itโs very dehumanizing.โ
This isnโt the only time the โbad guyโ singer has stood up to fans.
In 2020, Eilish participated in the โpost a pictureโ trend, leading fans to ask the singer to share a โdrawing youโre really proud of,โ reportsย The Independent.
The then 19-year-old shared a page from her sketchbook which featured a drawing of breasts, as well as nude women.
She commented: โThese probably lol I love b**bs.โ
Following the post, Eilishโs Instagram follower count reportedly dropped by around 100,000, from 73 million to 72.9 million.
In response, the โeverything i wantedโ artist took to her stories and said: โLMFAOOO yโall babies smh.โ
