Billie Eilish shuts down negative fan response to potential BTS collab
Billie Eilish is not here for negativity surrounding her fellow artists, even if that negativity is spewed by her own fans. When talks of a possible collaboration between Eilish and K-pop group BTS was met with disapproval, the 17-year-old artist was quick to shut it down.
Go off, sis.

It’s no secret that BTS are huge fans of Billie Eilish. During a Beats 1 Radio interview earlier this year, the group named her as an artist they hoped to work with soon.
A short while later, BTS member Jungkook tweeted a video of him dancing to Eilish’s “bad guy” that quickly went viral.

On Oct. 5, Eilish sat down for an interview with NPR music where a fan suggested that she work with BTS.
When Eilish asks the audience if she should do it, she’s met with many screams of “Yes!” However, there are quite a few fans that yell “No!” in response to her question.
You can see by Billie’s face that she’s surprised by the resounding “No” from fans and in turn, shuts down the negative response.
“Stop! Oh, my God, that is so mean,” Eilish tells the crowd. “I’ll listen to them. They’re very nice, they’ve said some very nice things about me.”
You can watch Billie’s response in the clip below.
When @billieeilish asked who she should work with…I said @bts_bighit because they like her alot….however the crowd was meh over it? She said she’d listen to them! But if there’s ever a collab between the two…”You’re Welcome??♀️” That was me! #btsartmy @aclfestival pic.twitter.com/nQFbc929kd
