Billie Eilish's Concert Featured A Powerful Statement About Self-Image

to begin off the North American leg of her Where Do We Go? World Tour, Billie Eilish tackled a topic that she's dealt with since she got into music: body-shaming. At the American Airlines Arena in Miami, she used voiceover as well as a video of herself to showcase why others' advice of her don't matter and that she, and also multiple others, should do what she wants.


On the initial night of her globetrotting new tour (March 9), Eilish prefaced her song "All the Good Women Go to Hell" with a video interlude where she removes a jacket while explaining through the voiceover that she finds comfort in who she is and not caring what anyone else thinks.


"The body I was place on Earth with, is it not what you wanted?" The singer says as she slips out of the jacket and then her shirt, as fan-captured footage reveals. "If what I wear is comfortable, I am not a woman. If I trim the layers, I am a slut. If I wear more, if I wear far less, who decides what that makes me? What that indicates? Is my value based only on your perception? Or is your advice of me not my responsibility?"


Eilish has habitually turned heads with her unique style fashion that's consisted of baggy jeans, oversized t-shirts, and other apparel that hides her figure. There's a reason for that.


In a Calvin Klein ad last year, the right now 18-year-old singer revealed that her style choices have been intentional equipment to avoid being objectified. "Nobody can have a suggestion because they haven't seen what's underneath," she mentioned then. "Nobody can be like, 'She's slim-thick,' 'She's not slim thick,' 'She's got a flat ass,' 'She's got a fat ass.' No one can mention any of that because they don't know.'


Judging by the answer of the roaring crowd, it's clear that they agree that Eilish has the ability to do what she wants. Check out Eilish's inspiring stand against objectification up above.
