- Billie Eilish criticized U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
- She paused her show to address the election results.
- She spoke about Trump’s history of sexual assault accusations.
Billie Eilish didn’t hold back in her criticism of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump following his victory over Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
While performing in Nashville, the singer paused her show to address the election results, visibly emotional as she spoke about Trump’s history of sexual assault accusations.
“I could not fathom doing a show on a day like this,” Billie told the audience, expressing her disappointment at Trump’s return to the White House. “I want you to know that you’re safe with me, and you’re protected here and that you are safe in this room,” she added, addressing the women in the crowd.
Billie, a vocal critic of Trump, also referenced her own experiences and the abuse many women face. “The song that we’re about to do is about the abuse that exists in this world upon women and a lot of the experiences that I have gone through and people I know have gone through,” she said. “To tell you the truth, I’ve never met one single woman who doesn’t have a story of abuse. Not one.”
The 2022 song TV, which Billie performed that night, touches on the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the ongoing debate over abortion rights in the U.S.
Billie continued, addressing Trump as a “convicted predator,” and said, “someone who hates women so, so deeply is about to be the president of the United States of America. So, this song is for all the women out there. I love you, I support you.”
Trump, who won the 2024 election, will begin his second term as president after overcoming multiple legal battles, including a civil suit where he was found liable for sexual abuse.
