Billie Eilish Takes Aim At Donald Trump, Calls Him ‘Convicted Predator’ On Stage

Billie Eilish didn’t hold back her disappointment over the 2024 presidential election results, taking aim at President-elect Donald Trump during her recent concert in Tennessee.

Performing in Nashville on Wednesday night, the Grammy-winning artist addressed Trump’s victory with strong words, condemning him as a “convicted predator” who, in her words, “hates women so, so deeply.”

Billie Eilish’s remarks came as Trump prepares to reenter the White House, now under unprecedented circumstances.

The "Bad Guy" singer admitted she considered canceling her Wednesday show following Donald Trump’s election win, but ultimately decided to push forward.

Addressing the crowd, she shared her feelings about performing amidst such a charged political climate, saying, “It’s such a privilege that I get to do this with you guys and that we have this in a time like right now.”

Before launching into her 2022 anthem “TV”—a song that poignantly references the overturning of Roe v. Wade—Billie Eilish dedicated the performance to the women in the crowd, reassuring them that they were “safe in this room.”

Eilish then opened up about her own experiences with abuse, sharing that her personal boundaries had been crossed in the past. She connected this to her strong reaction to Trump’s victory, explaining that her history made the election result particularly unsettling.

Her mid-show statement followed an earlier post on her Instagram Stories, where she described Trump’s victory as “a war on women.”

Her brother, producer and singer Finneas, also voiced his thoughts on social media, writing, “He told you he’d rob the house and we unlocked the door.”

This election marks a historic first in U.S. history, as Trump is the only President-elect with a criminal conviction.

In May of this year, a jury found the 77-year-old guilty of charges connected to a 2016 hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

This guilty verdict, delivered on May 30, 2024, concluded years of investigations, making Trump the first President to assume office with a felony on his record.

Eilish wasn’t alone in voicing her dismay; several other celebrities also spoke out about the election night upset.

Cardi B, for example, shared—and later deleted—a video taking aim at red states, joining a chorus of public figures expressing frustration over the election results.

“I swear to god I’m gonna f–k you up, get away from me,” she said, per The New York Post, during the video with more than 37,000 viewers. “I’m sick of you! Burn you’re f–king hats motherf–ker. I’m really sad. I swear to god, I’m really sad.”

Actor John Cusack, well-known for his candid political opinions, voiced his disappointment with the election outcome, remarking that the nation has "destroyed itself by voting in a convicted felon."

"Harris may well come through Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania," he wrote in an X post shortly after midnight on Wednesday, November 6. "The fact that the country would choose to destroy itself by voting in a convicted felon rapist and Nazi is a sign of deep nihilism -- To put it mildly."

Just before Election Day, singer and actress Demi Lovato used Instagram to explain why she cast her early vote for Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. “They will proudly work to restore our reproductive freedom, fight for our rights, and protect our democracy,” she shared. “If you ever felt like you didn’t know if your vote mattered, it truly does. You have the power to make your voice heard.”

Meanwhile, actor Patrick Wilson also took to Instagram with a heartfelt post about his vote. Known for his roles in "The Conjuring" and "Aquaman," Wilson posed with his mail-in ballot alongside his dog, sharing a personal connection to his decision. He mentioned that his wife, actress Dagmara Dominczyk, is an immigrant, underscoring the importance of his vote.

Dominczyk, originally from Poland, has openly shared her experiences and viewpoints as an immigrant in the United States, adding depth to the couple’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.
