Surprising Fans at the Screening
During the event, Billie Eilish, 23, interviewed Ariana Grande, 31, about her role as Glinda The Good Witch in the upcoming blockbuster adaptation of the Broadway classic. The interview was a lively Q&A session, and towards the end, the conversation took an unexpected turn.
The Studio Call
While wrapping up the event, Ariana dropped a hint about the possibility of working together. She told Billie, “We do need to do that, though,” referring to making music together. Billie eagerly agreed, saying, “I would love to do that.”
Billie’s Slip-Up and Ariana’s Nervous Excitement
In the middle of the Q&A, Billie accidentally mentioned “songs” when she meant to say “questions,” laughing off the slip-up. She quickly corrected herself, explaining, “I’m on tour, you guys. I’m used to saying that. Sorry.” Ariana, who had long hoped to collaborate with Billie, responded with a grin, acknowledging that a collaboration would indeed be a great idea.
Ariana’s Surprising Nerves
Ariana opened up about her excitement and nervousness in having Billie on stage with her. She admitted that Billie had been at the top of her “wish-list” for the conversation, but she was initially doubtful Billie would be able to attend due to her packed schedule. Ariana said, “My team was like: Who would be a cool person to do this? Who’s your dream person? I was like, Billie, [but] she’s not gonna say yes. She’s too busy. She’s too fabulous. It’s too much. But she said yes, and I was like, ‘Oh, s***.’ Now I’m so nervous.”
Billie’s Longtime Admiration for Ariana
Billie Eilish, a long-time fan of Ariana Grande, shared her deep admiration for the pop star. On her personal YouTube channel, Billie reminisced about her early years, explaining that she has been a fan of Ariana since she was a child. She fondly recalled commenting on old interviews of Ariana, expressing her love for the singer, and even joking about how she used to refer to her as “Ari” when speaking to her brother, Finneas.
Billie shared, “I used to call you Ari to my brother, and he’d be like, ‘Don’t call her Ari, you don’t know her!’” The bond between the two stars seems to be as personal as it is professional, making a potential collaboration even more exciting for fans.
