Time Magazine has officially released its top 100 most influential people list. Simone Biles, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Britney Spears, and Billie Eilish are among the few who made it on the list. Each person had an honoree write an entry for them. The “Happier Than Ever” singer’s entry was written by Megan Thee Stallion.

“Billie Eilish is a unique soul, with a voice, style and attitude all unapologetically her own,” Megan wrote. “I first met Billie at the Grammys this year. She had already achieved worldwide stardom, which might make some people have airs about them, but not Billie. She was so real and laid-back, even though her personality is so big. She is a rare spirit who speaks from her heart with no pretenses. I knew I had found a kindred spirit that night. One who is strong, but still learning and still growing. A woman who stands up for herself and advocates for women everywhere.”

In addition to looking glamorous at the 2021 Met Gala and putting on an amazing performance at the VMAs, Eilish took two awards at the VMAs: one for Video for Good and Best Latin Video and was nominated for five. Back in 2020, the nineteen-year-old won five Grammys and was nominated for six, making her the youngest person to win a Grammy for album of the year and nominated for four major Grammys in a year. 

Eilish is taking the world by storm, with her face plastered on Vogue, Vanity Fair, Glamour, and by shattering records. Among the records are having the most number 1 songs by a solo artist on Billboard’s alternative song charts and the youngest person to record a James Bond theme song. In addition, she became the youngest person to win album of the year, the title previously held by Taylor Swift. Eilish’s music can be streamed on all music streaming services. Fans can buy her picture book on Amazon and watch her documentary Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry on Apple TV.
