Billie Eilish, who sings songs like "Lunch," shared about the tough side of being famous. When she was 14, she lost touch with all her friends because she became famous.
She talked about this on the "Miss Me?" podcast with Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver. Billie said that fame made connecting with anyone hard for her. She mentioned that only her best friend Zoe stayed close when her song "Ocean Eyes" got super popular in 2016.
By the time Billie turned 20, most people around her were older employees. When she lost one of them, it made her sad and made her realize that their relationship was more like a job.
Billie admitted, "I'm terrified of losing people." But things got better when she got in touch with her old friends again about a year ago. Now, she's thankful to have a close group of friends.
Recently, at a party, Billie felt really emotional when she realized how much she valued her new friendships. This reminds us that even when life gets hectic, having real friends is super important.
