A lot of critics claim Billie Eilish has rocketed to fame largely because she wasnât afraid of breaking all the rules of pop stardom.
Making music and styling herself on her own terms, while Billie does do that itâs actually more about following her creative instincts than being a rebel.
"This whole time Iâve been getting this one sentence," Billie tells Vogue, "Like, Iâm a rule-breaker. Or Iâm anti-pop, or whatever. Iâm flattered that people think that, but itâs like, where, though? What rule did I break? The rule about making classic pop music and dressing like a girly girl? I never said Iâm not going to do that. I just didnât do it."
"I never knew there was a thing I had to follow. Nobody told me that...so I did what I wanted," she adds.
Billie also notes in the interview she has been recording new music, so while it might be some time before she releases a new album the process has at least begun.
