Billie Eilish Doesn't Support The Killing Of Turkeys

The "Bad Guy" singer has a few points to share about this tradition for those who enjoy celebrating Thanksgiving with a delicious turkey dish.

The PETA advocate shared a picture of herself cradling a large white turkey on her IG stories alongside a plea to save these creatures.

The seven-time Grammy winner revealed that "46 million" turkeys were killed annually for Thanksgiving despite their gentle nature.

The "Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles" star believed this massacre needed to stop; however, she wasn't forcing fans to change. In her words:

"I know it's hard to change traditions but just keep it in mind."

The "Bury A Friend" Singer Fought Against Texas's Abortion Laws

Last month, The Blast reported that Eilish nearly canceled her concert in Austin, Texas, because of the state's restrictive abortion laws.

The legislation prevented women from getting an abortion once the fetus' heartbeat could be heard. In addition, doctors would be punished for breaking this law.

Although she didn't call off the show, the 19-year-old took the stage to voice her opinions on the matter. 

The "Bellyache" artist initially wanted to punish Texas for their terrible mandates by not performing, but she realized her fans were the real people hurting from the law.

The songbird implored people to fight against the injustice by telling the state's lawmakers to "shut the f**k up."

The AMA winner pointed out that it was her body; therefore, she had the right to do whatever she wanted.

Before the Texas concert, the "Lovely" singer gave fans her candid opinion on the matter via Instagram. She expressed her disgust at men who stayed quiet when it came to women's rights.

As far as Eilish was concerned, any man who didn't talk about the abortion laws in Texas was probably a part of the problem.

The Pop Star Performed With The "Sesame Street" Gang

The Blast previously shared the exciting way the "Not My Responsibility" star connected with her younger fans. The teenager joined the "Sesame Street" cast for a special performance. 

In honor of the show's 52nd season, Eilish joined The Count, one of the kids' program characters, to sing a duet version of her hit song, "Happier Than Ever."

The pop star previously showed off her creative side in the live-action concert performance of the film "The Nightmare Before Christmas."

The two-time Brit Awards winner dressed up as the character Sally in the magical event held at Los Angeles' Banc of California Stadium.

It has been a fantastic year for the singer as she won her second consecutive number one spot on the Billboard 200 chart with the studio album "Happier Than Ever."
