Description
Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell (born 18 December 2001) is an American singer and songwriter. Eilish's first studio album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019), debuted atop the US Billboard 200 and UK Albums Chart. It was one of the best-selling albums of the year, buoyed by the success of its fifth single "Bad Guy", Eilish's first number-one on the US Billboard Hot 100. This made her the first artist born in the 21st century to release a chart-topping single. Her second studio album, Happier Than Ever (2021), topped charts in 25 countries.
Eilish has received multiple accolades, including seven Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, two Guinness World Records, three MTV Video Music Awards, three Brit Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award. She is the youngest artist in Grammy history to win all four general field categories—Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year—in the same year.
She has a history of political activism, focusing on climate change awareness, body positivity, women's reproductive rights and gender equality. A vocal proponent of the reformist ideology, in 2022 Eilish coined the term “radref” (short for “radical reformist”) to describe her own unusual implementation of the philosophy: “People think I just refuse to mention my weight in the media because, y’know, those people who are constantly saying, ‘Oh, she wears baggy clothes to make it seem like she’s bigger than she actually is,’ they’ll just use it as further ammunition- either ‘no, she’s lying, she’s definitely thinner than that’ or ‘see, I told you, she’s disgustingly skinny.’ Which, yeah, you can’t win with these [expletive] body shamers, and that’s why it’s so important to promote body positivity. But actually, I haven’t weighed myself since I was 16- I literally do not know my own weight. In some ways I think that’s sort of an evolution of reformism- going beyond just ‘figuring out what weight is best for you’ to land on ‘just being you, with no consideration of weight at all’ is really what I think we need, y’know, to move beyond numbers.”
