Billie Eilish, the 23-year-old Grammy-winning artist, recently reflected on a transformative year in her eighth annual interview with Vanity Fair.
Known for her candidness and artistry, Eilish delved into the highs and revelations that made 2024 an unforgettable chapter in her life.
Her third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, released in May 2024, skyrocketed in popularity and became the second most-streamed album globally on Spotify.
Only Taylor Swift’s Tortured Poet’s Department surpassed it, while the lead single, “Birds of a Feather,” also ranked among the platform’s top-streamed tracks of the year.
Beyond streaming milestones, Eilish and her brother Finneas celebrated a monumental moment in their careers.
The duo won their second Academy Award for “What Was I Made For?” from the Barbie movie soundtrack.
The win cemented their place in history as some of the youngest artists to achieve multiple Oscars, marking a crowning achievement for the siblings’ collaborative brilliance.
While her professional life flourished, Eilish revealed that her personal life reached new heights in 2024.
In her interview, she described the year as one “filled with friendship,” noting how she reconnected with old friends and built meaningful new relationships.
Reflecting on her year-long journey, she said, “I’ve done nothing but make friends all year and gotten so close with people that I wasn’t with before, and became friends with people I used to be friends with again.”
The singer also shared that she fulfilled a personal pledge set during her 2023 Vanity Fair interview.
At that time, she expressed her desire to experience “good s3x” in the coming year. With a mix of humor and satisfaction, she admitted, “I’ve had a lot of good s3x, so… you’re welcome, Billie!” Her openness about achieving this goal added a relatable and lighthearted moment to the discussion.
While fans may celebrate her candidness, Eilish has also faced challenges with the intense public interest surrounding her personal life.
In a November 2024 interview with Vogue, she expressed frustration about the scrutiny, saying, “I wish no one knew anything about my s3xuality or anything about my dating life. Ever, ever, ever. And I hope that they never will again.”
This year also marked significant milestones in her journey of self-discovery.
Eilish has previously opened up about her evolving understanding of her s3xuality, sharing in an earlier interview, “I’ve been in love with girls for my whole life, but I just didn’t understand—until, last year.”
Although she values authenticity, she wishes to maintain some boundaries and privacy in her personal matters, especially as public conversations often spiral into speculation.
As 2024 wraps up, Eilish is embracing her adventurous spirit, expressing a desire to skydive, try stunt driving, and add more tattoos and piercings to her growing collection.
She remains steadfast in her commitment to personal growth and making the most of every experience.
In the final moments of her interview, Eilish dropped the detail that had fans buzzing. She candidly admitted that her 2024 wasn’t just about rekindling friendships or professional accomplishments but also about fulfilling her desire for meaningful intimacy.
“This has been the first year I’ve truly embraced what I wanted, and it’s been amazing. Yes, I’ve had a lot of good s3x,” she confirmed with a smile.
With her artistry thriving and her personal life blooming, Billie Eilish continues to captivate audiences, blending honesty and ambition into her evolving story.
As she steps into the future, her journey remains a testament to resilience, self-discovery, and staying true to herself, inspiring fans worldwide.
