It's been the best of times and the worst of times for Billie Eilish lately.
During her acceptance speech at the Brit Awards, she admitted that she's been feeling "very hated recently."
The 18-year-old singer recently told BBC Breakfast that she's no longer reading Instagram comments because it was "ruining her life."
A lot of the hate she's been receiving lately stems from the major wins she made at this year's Grammys.
She even made history as the youngest person ever to win the four main categories at the Grammys.
“It’s weird: the cooler the things you get to do are the more people hate you. It’s crazy.”
“It’s a bunch of trolls. And the problem is a lot of it is really funny. I think that’s the issue. That’s why nobody really stops: because it’s funny."
"I experienced that growing up: I’d say things that I thought people would laugh at and then later I would realize that wasn’t a cool thing to say.”
“It’s insane that I have even been reading comments up until this point,” Eilish said.
“I should have stopped long ago. The problem is, I’ve always wanted to stay in touch with the fans and keep talking to them — people have ruined that for me. And for them. They’ve ruined it for them and that sucks.”
She continued:
"They’re me. They’re me. They’re like other mes. And so, they’re like friends of mine but, yeah, the Internet is ruining my life. So, I turned it off.”
When she won Best International Female at the 2020 Brit Awards, she used her acceptance speech as a chance to get vulnerable with her fans.
This included Lizzo, who stood up and yelled, "I love you!" after Billie accidentally said her name instead of the word "London."
"I felt very hated recently," she said, drawing out emotions from the crowd. "And, when I was on the stage and I saw you guys all smiling at me..."
"And I want to cry right now," she said, as her voice started to break. "So thank you."
She also got to debut the new James Bond theme “No Time to Die” for the first time live.
She had called it "terrifying."
"I'm just nervous to hit the belt, to hit that high note," Billie said. "I'm terrified. First time ever, so please take it easy on me, I'm scared."
