Billie Eilish, the anti-pop star who apparently can do nothing wrong, may have done so in the eyes of Instagram fans – and she called them ‘babies’ for it.
The singer “That’s Why I” and “Bad Guy” apparently outshone up to 100,000 followers this week, a dive that coincided with her participation in the viral “posted a photo of [something]”Trend that is making a comeback in Instagram Stories.
The 19-year-old artist decided to share images of her cell phone lock screen and a drawing she was proud of, the latter of which contains slavery as well as pendulum swing. bare breasts and back of the Rubenesque variety. She endorsed it: “it’s probably lol, I like boobs.”
Later, when a fan jokingly pointed out that she was losing followers because of this, she did not say a word, laughed it off and dismissed it as ‘babies’.
“LMFAOOO you are all babies,” she wrote, judging with two skull emojis.
In the grand scheme, the Grammy Awards winner took from 73 million followers to about 72.9 million. And it looks like the discrepancy was resolved Wednesday when she was back on the platform with 73.1 million followers. It is unclear whether the decline is related to the image or simply a normal fluctuation in the popular public profile of Eilish. The dive was perhaps just a handful of followers on the number bubble between millions that turned the rounded total into her follower count.
Reps for Instagram were not available for comment Wednesday.
But the fact that Eilish responded makes the flap more interesting. This is not the first time that the whisperer, an iconoclastic artist who carelessly breaks with the troupes of pop stars, addresses the public’s fixation on her body. She blew it up in a short film about body image in May after being worn for baggy clothes. Eilish, who is gradually disillusioned with the film, slams back on bodily shyness and unwelcome opinions – not unlike her brief reaction to her NSFW doodle this week.
“Do you know me? Do I really know me?” She said in the film. “You have opinions about my opinions, about my music, about my clothes, about my body …. But I feel you are watching. Always. And “Nothing I do is seen. So while I feel you stare, you disapprove, your sigh of relief, if I lived with them, I would never be able to move.”
While the photo-sharing game continued on Instagram Stories this week, Eilish shared photos of her fried, color-treated hair behind the scenes and then joked that she would not release her highly anticipated second album if fans kept mocking. It.
‘I’m making an album for you. I will not stick it out if you keep mocking my hair! Shut up! “She teased, noting that her distinctive neon green hair would be changing in her Apple TV + documentary,” Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry, “which appeared in February.
