Eilish has been performing with her usual vigor, sprinting and dancing across the platform while donning a black and white graphic ensemble, black striped arm warmers, and space buns in her hair.

After singing Therefore I Am, she said: “Why hello there, how’s it going? I love you guys so much. Are you ready to have some fun?”

After a heartfelt performance of her song Lovely, she temporarily paused the event to examine how the audience members were faring in each segment.

The performer invited the audience to put their problems aside as she introduced You Should See Me In A Crown.

She appeared overwhelmed as she attempted to speak since the loud screaming of her name from the audience made it difficult for her to be heard.

After taking a moment, she instructed the audience to scream out their cares as she said: “Whatever is going on in your mind, anything that’s bothering you, wasting your time thinking about, something that you just can’t get out of your head. I want you to have a f****** tantrum”.
