Billie Eilish brought joy to approximately 111 million of her fans when she added them to her Close Friends group on Instagram. This feature allows users to share content exclusively with a select group of people on their list.
Fans were ecstatic to discover that they were included in Billie’s Close Friends list, especially after she recently criticized artists for what she deemed “wasteful releases.” The singer shared a Story featuring a low-resolution photo of a hand against the backdrop of the night sky.
News of Billie’s gesture quickly spread on Twitter, where fans expressed their excitement at being considered one of the Ocean Eyes singer’s besties, at least on Instagram.

Another fan expressed their elation at being part of Billie Eilish’s inner circle by sharing a photo of Cillian Murphy holding an Oscar, conveying a sense of prestige and honor.
Yet another close friend of Billie’s shared a humorous photo of a woman dining with a cardboard cutout of a person, jokingly suggesting that they were spending time with Billie after being added to her Close Friends list.
On a more serious note, Billie Eilish recently joined over 200 artists in calling for an end to the ‘predatory’ use of AI in the music industry. In an open letter issued by the Artists Rights Alliance (ARA), they warned against the harmful effects of AI technology on human creativity and the music ecosystem.
The letter urges for regulations to ban AI tools that undermine or replace human songwriters or their work, highlighting the importance of protecting artists’ voices and creative integrity.
This move aligns with the broader industry push for better regulation of generative AI technologies like those used in chatbots and image generators.
