Billie Eilish Strips Down & Addresses Opinions of Her Body Image in Concert Interlude

Billie Eilish kicked off her Where Do We Go? tour last night (March 9) and took a moment to address something specific…

The 18-year-old singer had an interlude where she slowly took off her clothes, while talking about the opinions that people have over her body and what she wears.

“you have opinions, about my opinions, about my music, about my clothes, about my body,” she says in the video. “some people hate what i wear, some people praise it, some people use it to shame others, some people use it to shame me, but i feel you watching, always.”

“would you like me to be quiet? do my shoulders provoke you? does my chest? am i my stomach? my hips? the body i was born with, is it not what you wanted?” Billie adds.

“if i wear what is comfortable, i am not a woman, if i shed the layers, I’m a slut, though you’ve never seen my body, you still judge it.”

A transcript of Billie‘s speech can be read below:

you have opinions
about my opinions
about my music
about my clothes
about my body
some people hate what i wear
some people praise it
some people use it to shame others
some people use it to shame me
but i feel you watching
always
and nothing i do foes unseen
so while i feel your stares
your disapproval
or your sigh of relief
if i lived by them
I’d never be able to move
would you like me to be smaller?
weaker?
softer?
taller?
would you like me to be quiet?
do my shoulders provoke you?
does my chest?
am i my stomach?
my hips?
the body i was born with
is it not what you wanted?
if i wear what is comfortable
i am not a woman
if i shed the layers
I’m a slut
though you’ve never seen my body
you still judge it
and judge me for it
why?
we make assumptions about people
based on their size
we decide who they are
we decide what they’re worth
if i wear more
if i wear less
who decides what that makes me?
what that means?
is my value based only on your perception?
or is your opinion of me not my responsibility?
