After a frightening moment at one of Billie Eilish’s Miami shows, a young concertgoer’s swift intervention made headlines — and the singer has since shown her appreciation.

During the first of three October performances at the Kaseya Center, an attendee grabbed Eilish’s arm and shoved her toward the barricade. Eighteen-year-old fan Aniyah, who was wearing a red bandana and was easy to spot in video footage from the event, immediately chased after the person as security escorted him away and loudly rebuked him for his actions. Multiple clips of the confrontation circulated online following the incident. Watchers posted videos capturing the moment.

In the days that followed, Eilish sent Aniyah a sweatshirt and a package of other items as a token of thanks. The fan shared a photo of the gifts to her Instagram Story on Oct. 12, writing, “thank you so much for the gifts billie!!!” alongside several heart emojis.

Aniyah’s actions resonated across social media: she has amassed more than half a million followers on TikTok in a short span as fans praised her for protecting the artist. Finneas also acknowledged her on his Instagram Story, calling the “red bandana girl” one who “rules.” Finneas’ shout-out appeared shortly after the footage circulated.

The singer herself has not publicly detailed the episode. Local authorities told ABC News that the aggressive concertgoer was promptly removed from the venue and that no additional action was taken.

Eilish wrapped up her Miami run and will continue the Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour — which launched in September 2024 — with a performance at the Kia Center in Orlando, Fla., on Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2025.
