Billie Eilish‘s sexuality, self-expression and femininity have been scrutinized under a microscope since the pop star was a teenager. Now 21, she’s all set to discuss it.
In a brand-new cover tale for Variety released Monday (Nov. 13), the “Bad Guy” vocalist exposed that she’s both drew in to and daunted by various other females, with the magazine composing that she’s battled in the past to seem like a “girls girl.” “I’ve never really felt like I could relate to girls very well,” she informed the electrical outlet.
“I love them so much,” she proceeded. “I love them as people. I’m attracted to them as people. I’m attracted to them for real … I’m physically attracted to them. But I’m also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence.”
Eilish has actually just ever before remained in public connections with males, most just recently The Neighbourhood’s Jesse Rutherford prior to their breakup in May. The artist has actually been the target of queerbaiting accusations in the past, something she resolved in a 2021 meeting with Elle in which she claimed her sexuality was no person else’s service.
And although she penciled the Grammy-nominated Barbie soundtrack hit “What Was I Made For?” — which motivated an equipping pattern on social networks commemorating specific experiences with femininity — Eilish states she still fights with her identification as a lady. “I’ve never felt like a woman, to be honest with you,” she claimed the Variety meeting. “I’ve never felt desirable. I’ve never felt feminine.”
“I have to convince myself that I’m, like, a pretty girl,” she included. “I identify as ‘she/her’ and things like that, but I’ve never really felt like a girl.”
