Billie Eilish Leaves Mid-Concert After The Reelection of Donald Trump

Singer-songwriter Billie Eilish is one of many renowned artists who have expressed disbelief over Donald Trump winning his Re-Election bid. She left in the middle of her Wednesday night concert in Nashville.

Her concert was just after the results of the 2024 US Presidential Elections were announced, and she was clearly in disbelief at the outcomes. She couldn’t fathom the results, but she thought that her concert could be a safe space for people to process the news of Trump’s re-election.

She took on the stage and said, “The longer the day went on, I kind of had this feeling of like, it’s such a privilege that I get to do this with you guys and that we have this in a time like right now.” “I just love you so much, and 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 said before performing her famous song, TV.

She revealed that the lyrics of this song reflect the problems and abuse faced by women around the world. She said that every woman she ever came in contact with has faced some or the other kind of abuse. "I’ve dealt with some stuff myself, and I’ve been taken advantage of. My boundaries were crossed, to say it politely, and now a person who is a… let’s say convicted predator, let’s say that — god, my heart is beating fast,” she said. She continued, "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.”

She went on to perform the song, TV, but stopped in the middle of her performance after singing, “The internet’s gone wild watching movie stars on trial/ While they’re overturning Roe v. Wade.” She stood silent while the crowd cheered before eventually disappearing.

She isn’t the only artist who expressed her frustration, Sabrina Carpenter is another artist who has been very vocal about it. Trump’s Party is yet to react to Billie’s comments.
