Billie Eilish Explains How She's Lost Her Confidence With Age

Over the past two years, Billie Eilish has emerged as one of the biggest artists in the world. 2019 saw her have massive success, with her breakout hit single, "Bad Guy." That same year, her debut album, "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" hit number one, on the Billboard 200 chart. Bad Guy is currently 6x platinum in the US, and the album is 4x platinum.

Billie's momentum rolled over into 2021 as well, as, on July 30, her sophomore album was released. This was "Happier Than Ever," and contained plenty of hits as well. These included "Your Power," "My Future," and "Therefore I Am." The album was initially announced two months before its release, and it exceeded all expectations.

In a new interview with The Drew Barrymore Show, Billie discussed how as she's gotten older, she's struggled to maintain her confidence. This has also played a role in her career, where she revealed that "it's not fun right now." This was as she was discussing her new "Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter To Los Angeles" documentary.

“You know I‘ve always been very, very strong-willed and honest, which I think is like a blessing and a curse," said Eilish. "The funny thing is that the older I’ve gotten, the less confident I‘ve gotten and it kind of made me like—because I re-watched the doc a few weeks ago, and it made me cry because I was thinking how free-spirited I was and how open-minded I was, and then it’s like the media just like tears it away from you."

While Eilish continues to go through her fight in uplifting her confidence, she remains a huge fan-favorite. She is only 19-years-old, and every year continues to achieve a higher level of fame. Each album she releases displays a significant amount of progress, and is a huge fashion trendsetter, as well.

Eilish continues to elevate her fashion sense and is a huge sneakerhead. Air Jordans remain one of her favorite pairs, as she has her new own Air Jordan 1 sneaker coming soon. These are the Air Jordan 1 "Ghost Green" pair, and are expected to be out at the end of this month, September 30. Eilish also has her own Air Jordan 15 sneaker, which is also rumored to be released on the 30th. She was also featured on the Sneaker Shopping YouTube special, with Complex, two years ago, where she bought some of her favorite sneakers, in NYC.

With the success of Eilish's "Happier Than Ever" project, a tour is coming with it as well, in 2022. This is a world tour, which kicks off on February 3, 2022, in Atlanta, and concludes on July 2, in Zurich, CH. Special guest performers include Willow and Jessie Reyez.
